So, a friend of mine convinced me to get a Moleskine sketchbook...bearing this new acquistion in hand, I'll try to post more studies and sketches!

Figure study

Ideas for my next piece...

A new iteration of Little Red Riding Hood:

Just kidding: NOW it's done. That is, until the next person comes along and points out what I should fix! Next up...a kitsune-tsuki, I think.

La Perte du Minotaure / Loss of the Minotaur

Also check out this article about Ariadne's life, featuring my painting: http://www.atlanticharpduo.com/2013/12/16-glimpses-into-ariadnes-life/.

New piece! I think it's done...I think. I would love to do a big oil of painting of this! Just digital for now, though.

"La Perte du Minotaure" (Loss of the Minotaur)

I spent Thanksgiving in Quebec City with a friend of mine and did some sketching!

Minotaur

Kitsune-Tsuki

Red and the Woods

I plan to develop the Minotaur into a painting...stay tuned!

Sentiment 5 of 7: Yellow Angst

I'm still not satisfied with it, but I think I'm going to have to let it rest for bit. I'm not sure what's bugging me about it right now...maybe the composition. The great thing with digital is you can take a long break if need be and make significant changes later if need be. Despite the fact I'm not quite happy with it, I learned a lot--this was my first time painting something to look like glass! A huge thanks to this amazing artist for his all of his help and feedback: http://marconelor.tumblr.com/.
