Escape from The Black Forest

May 10, 2009

Here's a new painting I've been working on off and on for the past few months. It's finally finished, and I'm pretty excited about it. I tried a few new things with it, and it came off the way I hoped it would!

I used this really beautiful floral paper underneath the grassy part of the painting, which you can see pretty well in this close-up:

It'll be part of the upcoming Spring shop update!

Also, Happy Mama's Day to the mamas out there (and especially the mamas I know and love, particularly my lovely Alison W. Martin).

Oh! And we saw new Star Trek last night, and it was as good as everybody's saying. I resisted, but it won me over...it's impressive to pull off a film building on a franchise like that and manage to be both fresh and also true (in spirit) to its mod, charming source material. The ladies were still in kicky knee-boots! It's pretty wrong how happy that made me. And I always thought that it was just Leonard Nimoy and his amazing voice, but after seeing this new fella I'm pretty convinced that Spock is just one of the hottest fictional characters.
(Wow, was that out loud?)
