oh hey, illustration friday...

sweet serenity
9x12, acrylic on canvas

it's been a while! with the theme/prompt this week being "swirl" well, i thought this piece from last year would be rather fitting. 

PRINTS available here , a sweet PENDANT NECKLACE available here and a little peek into the STEP BY STEP process of how she was created can be seen here.

{can we take a moment and appreciate the Pantone color palette from last year which inspired this painting...definitely one of my favorites to date.}

i thought it would be interetsing and fun to take a look into the creative process of my paintings...from thumbnail to sketch to paint palette(s) to the finsihed piece. i know i absolutely geek out looking at other artists WIPs so i thought i'd create a new album after each painting of the step by step process i use (and have used for YEARS) and share it with everyone. i work traditonally...pencil, paper, paint, canvas. i have much respect for the digital artists of the world yet for me, the passion and love will ALWAYS be in the traditonal tube of paint. old school...and proud. 

this is part three in my series...the making of "sweet serenity", inspired by this year's pantone color palette.

for a look at the full album and step by step instructions, please click on over to my Facebook page...and perhaps give it a "like", if you would be so kind! :)
