Black canvas

I found these black canvases and I wanted to try painting from black to light. It was so much fun! I loved it.

When I was young I used to go to a dance place in Argentina called "StarLight" and the logo was a moon with a profile of a man. I saw it several times in my life done by different artist, well this is my version of the moon.

The girl has a long neck, it was inspired by Modigliani’s painting "Beatrice Hastings in front of a door" I love that painting.

I have more black canvases... fun! (the girl and the moon is now on ebay)

I won a giveaway

Jennifer DeDonato had a giveaway on her blog colorfly studio and I won! I love magnets and I started to collect them so this is SO COOL!

This is my fridge. I have Diane Duda, Leanne (la la la illustration) I put a magnet on the back of Danita's business card, myself and now colorflystudio (Diane is holding my to do list)

I also sent a picture to Krissy of my studio for her giveaway. I made a wooden banner. I like to look at it and I think "yeah, I am an artist" he he.

Learning to Fly

When I came to USA 7 years ago I didn't know the language, I didn't know how to drive, I couldn't work (while applying for residency you can't work), I didn't know the culture (I freaked out people trying to kiss them) it was frustrating because I was a very independent woman.

I have to learn so much, it was scary in the beginning but now I am enjoying freedom again (I learn how to drive, yay)

Today I am sharing something I made on my journal. It's a charcoal drawing that I sealed with fixatif and I paint with acrylics. I also use some pencil and print the words with my printer.

Learning to fly could be scary but when you do it it is so beautiful!

HTML issues and Frida

This is my husband working on his computer.

I was using Auctivia to list my ebay auctions and I was having some problems with it.

I wanted to have a nice looking listing without spending a lot but my HTML skills are not that good so they were terrible.

Now my husband is a computer genius, web master, software engineer but I have problems asking for help and after spending hours working on my template I decided to ask.

He came and in 3 seconds solved the problem!! I guess I need to quit trying to do everything by myself.

Now I have my rendition of Frida Kahlo on ebay and I think the listing looks much better. (thanks to my husband)

Angel series

I had 2 hard days. All my daughters got sick. I feel so sad when I see them sick, with fever and cranky. I try my best to make them feel good.
Now they are good, it just lasted a couple of days :)
I painted this angels holding my little Abby. Even though she was feeling bad we had a good time together.
I put some glitter on their wings. It is the first time I work with glitter and cracking effect and I love it! the effect cannot be show on a picture, but it is very nice.

This are a little longer, the measure 4"x6"

Now they are for sale on ebay.

My husband asked me to make some without the antique effect and use some beeswax. I have everything to do it so lets see how they turn out :D

Thank you so much for ALL your nice comments and emails, I couldn't answer all yet because I was caring for my little ones but I will.

Johanna, I received your thank you note, you made my day!

Love.

New painting with video

This is a new painting and I also made a video.

I recieved emails asking about the crackle effect so I stopped the fast motion and I added some explanation. After watching the video I was like "what a strong accent!" well, I know you love me and won't laugh at me.

Now in for sale on ebay

Doll and pictures

finish this doll a week ago but I haven't been able to take a decent picture so I am experimenting with different environments and light sources to see if I can achieve a good picture.

So I try with a sunny day, direct sun light.

Macro Photo Studio

Today, after finishing my hair and going to the gym, I started working in a "macro photo studio" I have been criticized by the Simon Cowell version of Etsy that my pictures are grey and they don't look good. So I went to this blog to change that.

I made a new art doll. A little one and I want to take better pictures. Now is very late but tomorrow I will post some pictures of my little dollie (let's see if the box works)

Hair

I am doing my hair right now. I am tired of being a blond (fake kinda blond) I hope nobody knocks my door now because it always happens.

Every time I am:

1- doing my hair

2- taking a shower

3- decided to sleep a little more

4- waxing

5-painting

Somebody knocks my door. But nobody comes when I finish cleaning the house and everything looks great.

My timer is bipping, time to rinse it, bye. oops! someone is knocking (ouch!)

Jesus the Word

In an older post I showed 3 Jesus that I made for my husband for valentines day.
One morning he woke up and said, I have an idea for a painting about Jesus and he told me the simbolism of the picture. I saw it (in my mind)and I made them.
I think a week ago I had this image on my head of a Jesus with a robe made with pages of the Bible (I have to admit that it's not an original idea) and I thought "Jesus the word" I made the robe with pages af a small Bible (gedeon) and I used the book of John
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning."
Jesus is looking up and this represents that HE only does what His father does (John 5:19) He also has his hands open reaching down to help us.
The painting measures 10"x20" Now is on ebay (this one I give to the world to enjoy...if they want he he)
