Hide and Seek

Nothing better than a little hide and seek in the woods as a kid. We would go play outside for hours lost in the trees. Good times. The other day was a really grey day and I just felt like painting something grey. I really like the way it came out. It's a little tribute to Coraline if you haven't seen it. Go rent it when it comes out, or read the book. 

Since I have been working digitally I have realized that my pieces aren't looking the same on everyone's monitors. So this one may be a little more saturated than I wanted, but that's life! There are a few drawbacks to computers. So I guess you will have to come see them in person.

I will be showing in August at the MAC650 gallery and co-curating in October for the Addams Family Show. I am very excited about this one. I have a couple of ideas already that need to be sketched out.

Have a great weekend!

Here Kitty Kitty...

This one started out in a very organic way. I wanted to do something dark with someone peeking in a hole. Turns out that hole was a old log. What's in a old log? spiderwebs and perhaps a cat that's hiding...they like to do that you know. If you can't find the cat, there's a good chance it's under the bed or in a closet. 

I didn't have time to paint this up and I probably never will, so here it is.

Have a great weekend!
