Dana




Pencil and watercolour on wood. This wood does not photograph well, it's too shiny/silvery. Note to self, do not ever use it again. It ruined the piece methinks, to the point where it remains unfinished. If I had a cat I would use this to line the litter tray.

Chip


.

This is the front of a birthday card for my bro, we have this long running monkey/ape theme where a lot of gifts or cards are monkey related. Not sure how this started...But monkeys are awesome!
This is Chip, he is forcing a smile for a photograph at Olan Mills, a bit like these ones...but much more natural.
this is the inside of the card...
.
it says "happy sweet sixteen or multiple thereof" ... if its hard to read...and yes he is 64...(nah just jokes, he's 80...okay, okay.. 32)

long time no blog

Finally I have gotten around to posting something, Im so lazy, I can be bothered typing in a password to log into blogger...facebook is a different story tho. So here's some stuff I've made while I was away in the wonderful world of facebook.

and a detail

(sold)

its about hair and women...




this one is mainly digital, which I dont like so much, I prefer manual painting and drawing, it doesn't feel like work, staring at a computer does. there's some woodgrain layers overlaid instead of the usual textures most people use ....anyhoodles...its called "bad day at the office" that title is temporary.

underwater love


SOLD

oils on wood

a lady or fish-lady (however you interpret it) swimming in some brown looking water, I was going to stain the wood blue but that would ruin the lovely brown piece of wood, so I stained it a darker brown, this could be the bog lady part 2.

Ponds Institute

this is meant to be a girl going for a dip in one of those gross ponds that's teeming with that stuff that grows in ponds, water lilies or algae, or something, OK so its not a specific plant but you get the picture. You can see around her chestal area there is some water making an appearance. People have commented that it looks like a field of leafy vegetation. OK so its whatever you want it to be.
