Owl Woman, Green Man, Spring

Owl Woman

Woot It's Paint Party Friday! I missed last week, was just too busy. I love PPF tho, great art all over, hop on over and take a look.




I've been pretty busy the past two weeks. I finished Owl Woman, this phone pic does not do the colors justice but I haven't had a chance to get a really good picture of her yet. 16x20 acrylic on canvas.  Some in progress shots can be found on this post









Green Man 


After Owl Woman I did a Green Man, 8x8 canvas on the diagonal, acrylic.  I am pretty pleased with the way he turned out. Again a crappy cell phone pic.
















work in progress

After the Green Man I started this one. Not sure about a title, but leaning towards Spring.  Took me three tries to get her eyes even and I"m still not thrilled with her looks, I know her proportions are off.  Hoping I can work on her some more this weekend.

      I meant to say that the artwork does NOT need to be related to cats.

    I love all the paintings you posted--but my favorite is the Green Man. He is wonderful and fills my eyes--which is the greatest compliment I can give.

    OOHHH WOW!!!! I love this art! The Owl Woman is dynamic. The Green Man is mysterious, especially in his eyes. Your woman that you have faulted is AMAZING! In my eyes, the proportions of her face actually make her look like she a mature woman. Still young but starting to show some age. I love it!!! In addition her hair is fabulous!!!!!

    Your owl-woman looks very intriguing and I love the pendant around her neck. The other two are really good as well, I don't see anything wrong with the last one.... Love her expression!

    Beautiful earthy-themed paintings! The owl mask is fantastic! The green man is probably my favorite, I love the acorns and the leaf detail is terrific.
