Free Hand

  So I have been trying to do some free hand painting in my spare time! Working at the Zoo has been great, but it keeps me busy! I was used to having 4 days off, now I only have 2...so it's a lot harder to work on extra things!

  But I push on..so here is a small painting I did last weekend and a sketch for a big painting I am planning! You will proably see a lot of these post for a while...small paintings and sketches is all I really have time for!

  The painting is inspired by my back yard. Dark foggy nights are the best in the mountains... I painted this all free hand with acrylic paint...free hand has always been a challenge for me...mostly because I am O.C.D., so most of the time I draw on my canvas and then paint...I have been trying to challenge myself and I like what came out!
I have also been working on a sea monster for another large painting I am working on...here is what I came up with. I got a lot of inspiration from my favorite monster drawing artist, Don Kenn.
Well I hope you have enjoyed! More updates to come soon! Until then check out my Etsy to purchase any paintings seen on here, or message me for a custom piece!

Now don't get me wrong, living in the mountains was amazing and we both definitely needed that, but change is great and I couldn't live life without a little now and then. Plus it was time for Ben and I to really start our own future.   From the moment we drove into Colorado I felt like I was home, I feeling I was not as familiar with as I wanted. This place was amazing, visual and just down right inspiring. There just seems to be a general caring for here. The environment is just clean and vast. Anyways I could go on and on. Moving here has kick started the passion for creativity again, the excitement for the future and what it holds. So my goal has been to try and dive into the art scene here and get into as many art shows as possible. I do have to remind myself that we are still settling in and to pace myself but I'm ready to hit the ground running.   I will be apart of the

Follow me @Deadluvart   So life has just been crazy, there are times every one has where it all just seems non-stop. That's pretty much where I'm at currently. Still juggling two jobs-my art which one day I pray to be able to do full time and my job at the zoo!

I know one day I'll have to make a choice, but for now ill keep gimping along.   So I have been working on a few different things currently. One is a super huge secret, so that's all I can say about that, more on that next year! I've also been working on a few doggy p

Here's a sketch of what I'm working on. Took the horse skeleton from a drawing i found online, drew it and added my own touches. The snakes with be all different colors of the rainbow. Instead of a horse, its a unicorn. I'm currently searching for glow in the dark paint for the piece as well! Thinking of doing this on a long canvas! Let me know what you think!
