Anyway, I'm working on some fun pieces to offer for sale for this event - whimsical art. I'll still have my blank greeting cards for sale plus a few of my oil paintings but I wanted to offer something different this time. I was inspired by the last two themes of the Artist Trading Cards group I belong to - Cool Cats and Flamingos.
First of all, I started working on some flamingo paintings. I attempted a watercolor painting but had some issues with it. Although it's good practice, I decided acrylics were the way to go on these. First of all, I painted the backgrounds. Then I added the images I had sketched out.

I'm making progress on them! Aren't they so cute? I'll do some different poses too. So much fun!
I will also do a couple of cats as well. One will be similar to my "Diva" cat.
Another one, will be like my "Hungry" cat image. Both of these were for Artist Trading Card (ATC) exchange "Cool Cats".
I love doing whimsical art! The ATCs are simple but give me lots of ideas plus are a springboard for more detailed art.
I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my works in progress and inspiration pieces. It's going to be a busy week getting ready for the Art Walk. If you happen to be in Palestine, TX on the 21st, come on downtown and see all the artists! I'll be at the Co-Ed Shop on Main St. painting live!
See you next week!
