A New Banner for Rustic Goth

It's time

for a 'redress'

at least for my shop.

Bits and pieces

of my 'Ghostlings' series

went into the newest

Banner

for the shop.

I want to get

very caught up

with all of my work

then take some

time to design several new

banners for the shop

that I can just

change out every so often.

I think that sounds fun...

but

for now

it's back to

work..work..work!

New Paintings

I stayed up late, late, late

Saturday Night/ Sunday Morning

painting.

I got five paintings

yes...four of them are small pieces...

finished.

Here are three of those pieces...

I love them all.

I'm especially excited about those that I've

painted just for these wonderful little frames I found

(while out on a 'thriftventure').

I painted the frames with thinned black acrylic paint

then,

a light coat of varish to seal the paint.

They're coming out great...

see the last picture...

These little paintings will

come WITH the Frames!

Anyway...

I've already listed the top piece...

the rest of the paintings will be listed in

the shop, sometime

between now and Wednesday.

Later today....

I hope to get,

at least,

one or two paintings

listed.

I was able to paint 5

brand new pieces

over the week-end.

I won't list everything today...

but, maybe...

the majority!

We'll see!

I think I might like to see..

'Running With Scissors'

I drew a blank...

I'm not sure what was going on with

me yesterday...

clear up to the wee hours of this morning.

Try as I might...I just drew a blank!

I could think of nothing to paint..draw...

anything!!

Maybe it's that I have been taking

Wednesdays off

(not intentionally...it just worked out that way)

and I worked like crazy this Wednesday.

Anyway...I got a day off...but not really!

I ended up stressed out..

not at all relaxed and refreshed...

it was so frustrating!

oh well...

I guess I'll cut my losses

and see if I have a better day today.

I just won't put as much

pressure on myself.

I'll get done what I can get done...

always my sold items

take priority..

so they will come first!

GHOSTS OF GOMORRAH

These are the

GHOSTS OF GOMORRAH

a wonderfully DARK painting

that I wanted to share.

In the words of the artist

(with his permission)

"This is one of my favorite paintings...ever. It is absolutely an attention grabber...I cannot stop staring at it.

Everyone who enters my studio is mesmerized and caught up in all of the action...and all of the hidden treasures throughout the piece.

It is hard to describe what was going through my head over the last few weeks as I created this piece...obviously I have been confused and thoughtful in this time hugely important moment in history.

This painting is a reflection of everything that I have been feeling and thinking."

This is another painting

in the series

THE DISENCHANTED FOREST

It is titled

"Caught In The Shadows"

I went thrifting...

Jaime and I went

'thrift store shopping'

yesterday.

I found some of the best

small frames...just perfect to 'house' some new

little paintings.

I plan to work today on a couple of those pieces...

hopefully I'll have something to show for my

efforts in the next couple of days.
