The Umbre layer. This is just a 'study' wanting to practice my figurative/skin tones, plus a bit of fun making her a mermaid. Will post the stages as I do them, as am doing it in the Flemish technique.
LOL this one looks like nothing aye. I just started this one this morning. In the end, I hope these to resemble rocks more lol and make that pool of water more pristine and transluscent. Foliage to go in the sides and a wee waterfall. Practicing some traditional art, hopefully this will be for the sherwood show. I have an antique gold (more fools colour like me!) plaster frame for this, from the 30s. coooooooooooool.
Yay Viking Fun. First one is a commission. It is nearly finished, I hope it is well received. The others I am just doing along the way. The reference for the first one was the mans model ship, the reference for the 2nd one was the remains of an ancient viking ship in Oslo. 3rd one, another Einherjar on a fun long canvas, and the 4th one, it is a Viking crew who have happened upon Bifrost the rainbow bridge, which joins our mortal world (Midgard) to Asgard (where the gods dwell).
Piece for our good friends wedding present. Aren't they cute??? Young Love! This has gone through Umbre Layer, Dead Layer, and I am currently colouring it, trying to focus on the subtleties of skin colours, still have lots of work to do but am taking my time on this one.
And I have THREE MORE wips I need to start today.....maybe I will start them late tonight because I need to clean the house darnit and organise my work area, what with so much on the go.
I love being emersed in painting!!!!!!!

Hey Jade!
These are looking great! I particularly like the wedding one even though it makes my recent effort of something similar look oh so 3rd rate! Well done! I look forward to seeing these develop.

Howdy Dale!

Hi Lisa!
Thanks *hug* oooh had a vision of her when I wrote your words, now I'm going to have to paint her! lol
Wow Jade, they are all looking terrific. I don't know where all that creative energy comes from to have so many pieces on the go at once.
Hi Kay! Hey thanks! I started another one today and slowly my mind is starting to turn to jelly, so I had to sit down and write everything down in order of priority lol
Jade your work has grown , i love your recent works and see the history of development is very positive. Thankyou for your art.
