My apologies in advance for not offering up any delilcate nibbles of snark this Friday morning. I have been remiss in my movie-watching, but it's all for A Good Cause. I've actually been applying the fruits of my four-year fine art degree to Projects! I will share with you the first completed painting I've created in the past eight years:
Watercolor on paper, 15"h x 20"w
Thank you, internets, for being a bottomless source of weirdness and inspiration. I like to paint food, boobs and cheekbones--it's nice to think that someone out there likes to look at paintings of food, boobs and cheekbones.

You know I wouldn't say this if I didn't mean it: You are seriously talented.
If I ever write a novel you're slated to do the cover. Just so you know.
I can't believe Jack nabbed you for the novel-cover-art job before I did (were you people really posting at 6 a.m. as the date stamp purports?)
This is *wonderful* stuff. I wish to see the painting in person.
[WITH THE PINK BITS COVERED UP.]

Very cool -- love the way you've done the skin/highlights, especially.
Also, yay for Jack-the-Ripper-ish couture!
Thank you, Jack, P8 and Ashbet, for your kind words!
Jack and P8--so long as your novels involve food, boobs and cheekbones, we can surely discuss any cover art jobs.
P8--I adjusted my Blogger clock for East Coast Time. Looks like I was engaging in some wishful thinking there, as the clock was set to California time (maybe I am really wishing for some better weather?).
Ashbet--gotta love fancy dress. Even my painted people indulge in fancy dress. I've found watercolor is my favorite medium for getting the skintones to really glow. The transparency lends itself to that look!
Oh, wow. That's amazing, and I really see your "point of view" as they say on Project Runway.
For some reason that egg makes me really happy.

I like it! It is sexy and surreal, like the very best kind of dream.
Thanks, Lori and Debra! More food, more sex--duly noted ;)
It's ethereal....wonderful work.
It's ethereal...you did wonderful work here.
Just dazzling, m'dear - you've captured a cool surreal-feel here. And I love the egg and teapot. A little proper English breakfast with your sex and cheekbones.
Dazzling, m'dear - you've captured a real surreal-feel here. And I love the egg and teapot - a proper English breakfast always goes well with sex and cheekbones IMHO.
*cheers wildly*
(If this gets posted twice my apologies, Blogger commenting is misbehaivng tonight.)
