December's Art

I've been working on these pieces for a couple of months. First the drawing was created. I had selected a frame many months ago and then when I was getting ready to work on the matting the glass broke. Something else took the spot and the drawings were just sitting there. About two weeks ago I began working on adding some color to the drawings and every so often I took a photograph to show the process. All of the drawings are different, but you get the idea. These photos do not reflect the finished pieces, but if you're interested let me know.

They all began as sketches and then outlined with a black marker. I liked the effect that came off with this as the drawing was draped on a chair.

This is part of a larger picture what I liked the pose and thought it was interesting. I also wanted to show the stages of going from the outline to adding color.

This is another drawing which is the third one before the finishing touches. All tree will hang side my side in a salute to fashion.

Thanks for stopping by, keep an open mind and let your creativity shine.

Painted ornaments

The above design is one that I did for a tee shirt many many years ago. It actually glowed in the dark. I decided I wanted to keep the design and I framed it.It was during my time of creating one of kind pieces of fashion and art. The image was inspired by a Nagel lithograph I saw in a book.



The above is a cross that I'm working on to give to someone as a gift. When I arrived in Austin I noticed that a lot of Hispanics have crosses on their walls and so a collection was formed as people were giving me crosses to hang. Then I started making them. I've always had a fascination with the crucifix.



These ribbons will adorn my Christmas tree once I am finished and I put the tree up. That will probably be the project for the weekend since it will be cold.

Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind. I hope to launch Nexx Fazz again and share some of my art tips via video.
