🌈 Iris 🌈

Personification and goddess of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. Iris is said to link the gods to humanity, fitting considering rainbows seem to connect the earth to the sky.

There’s always been something about color that can convey so much and somehow link to a person’s emotions. Bright colors can be associated with happiness, glee, hope. Deeper hues can be associated with passion, anger. These hues can go on either side of the spectrum, positive or negative. Dark colors are associated with sadness, gloom, and doom. Color in art is what sets the tone or mood of the piece and what connects the viewer to the art and the artist.

I’ve decided that these next three mermaids are from Greek mythology. So here today we have the goddess of hearth fire.

I’m still practicing how to make these, my background is a bit rough, but I love how the colors came together. My line work needs to be cleaned up, but I’m blaming that on old, worn, and overworked brushes., I still need to work on these bodies and poses, because something isn’t completely right with this. Anyway stay tuned to see my next mermaids.

🧜‍♀️ Mermaids are kind of my thing 🧜‍♀️

A little obsessed with how this turned out. I wish you could see the shine on these metallic paints. I’ve struggled these past few months, but finally getting back on track. Time to keep this ball rolling 🌱✌🏽

🤱🏻

A year ago, I got a message asking if I could paint people in the colorful fashion I usually make my paintings. I said sure I’m up for anything. I had never painted a human subject before so I was nervous, then different colors in top of that 👁….

Although I went conservative with the color and sticking to the same color just different shades, this is definitely something I want to try again. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to make this very special piece for you! ❤️

Also this is as a sneak peek into a “Madonna and Child” series I will be making over the next year.
