A lot happened but I’m finally back to working on A Portrait of Lady Nina.

Couple of months later-reworked the Lu Guang bobble head sculpture. Did you know I accidentally melted my ikea porch tiles because I forgot to set up my kiln properly? Then I dropped him and had to epoxy his head together. Now the jingling bell inside his head has lore.

I’m going nuts lol. First off, I dropped my paint palette on the floor. I’m hyper fixated- over a month of painting. I liked how one single grape looked and that was it for me. I had to paint them one by one. And then decide if I liked the color of each grape. I could do it easier but noooo! 😭

This version is actually a week ago. I could have just stopped here to finish but it didn’t sit right with me so I reworked a lot of it. Colors, texture, anatomy. Everything needed to just sit properly in a real space…if that makes sense? I think it’s improved.

Maybe another week and I’ll be done with this portrait of my girl, Nina. You know, she would actually wear this whole outfit and strut around showing it off. She was that kind of dog. 💖🐾💖

It’s been about a week after starting Nina’s portrait. Here’s the progress. This will take a while. Been self studying acrylic techniques and art history/Italian Renaissance fashion. Learning a lot. This is very meditative.

WIP-Nina’s portrait is loosely based off Frank Cadogan Cowper's Vanity. We are slowly getting somewhere. 🐾💖

Heheh. I can finally post this. When you still look like a baby but a tired baby. I mean, naps are pretty great.

It has been a long time since I painted. Getting back in! Nina passed in 2017. Around Christmas that year. She’s a once in a lifetime partner. I still remember her markings and subtle details even though I have references. She is more than deserving of an elaborate portrait. 💖🐾💖

Oh also this! Birthday present! It arrived early and we’re kind of fighting each other over reading it, lol. Ok, we are actually taking turns and discussing. We’re our own mini book club in the house.

I turned 44 on 22! Also my phone is a decade old and won’t let me add more than one photo at a time, lol.

Happy Valentines from Gerudo Link. This is from Momocon 2017. You can clearly see me winking, heh!

Link Click. Lu Guang bobble head is finally complete. Look at him go! He was born with a bell in his head (personal request from the owner of this sculpture). It was challenging and I melted my porch while firing the clay in the kiln lol but he’s done! Yaaay!

Lu Guang from Link Click. The bobble head wip is coming along. I need to make the spring smaller due to the clay shrinking as it dries and when fired.

Sculpting a gift. Lu Guang from Link Click. It’s been entirely too long since I last sculpted.
