Metamorphosis

Here is my new painting based on my Sunday Sketch, "Metamorphosis". I want to thank Lenora and her talented children over at Lenorita for the name suggestion! I felt like it came close to what I was trying to express with this. I really appreciate all of the title suggestions and interpretations of my sketch, they were all lovely and very helpful! That is one thing I really need to work on, actually articulating the ideas that pop into my head :)

Recently I have been really drawn to doing what I am calling "Surrealist Lite" :) I have been drawn to Surrealist art ever since studying it in college. However, in my own artwork I am not into doing the sometimes dark, more extreme aspects, if that makes sense! Just sort of a lighter, fun version that adds a bit of mystery and magic to the piece, hopefully :)

She is painted on a 5"x7" stretched canvas with acrylics and is available in my shop.

I also thought I would show you how good Jasmine is looking :) If you haven't seen my previous posts about her, she was a cat in our neighborhood who was abandoned and was starving to death. We took her in about a month ago. She went to the vet on Monday and she has gained 2 pounds :) She is up to 7 pounds now. She got her thyroid checked, and it turns out that we can decrease her medicine a bit. She is doing great and seems like a happy camper! :)


Don't forget to enter my giveaway here if you haven't already--I am going to draw a name this Saturday!


Have a great Wednesday! :)

  5. So I think I have found a kindred spirit! Well, Lauren... I've always loved Surrealism too, although I find it more 'comfortable' to be on the less extreme side. Your paintings are becoming more defined and thought provoking. I like how the faces seem to 'speak out' more.

    Simply stunning, this one! ♥♥

    PS: Jasmine looks good!!
