Happy new year to you all, I can't believe how fast 2011 went and we are now firmly in 2012.

Over the Christmas and New year period I got busy sketching and idea that came to me after I got a copy of Imagine Fx magazine which included an article on how to create art nouveau style art work. 

I have always been inspired by the art nouveau style, especially that of Alphonse Mucha and I decided to try my hand at recreating the style but in my own way.                                                ...

New art and painting problems

Well lately I have been having a very difficult time with my digital painting.
I had this image that I wanted to capture in my mind of three standing stones in the full moon light, surrounded by creatures such as an owl and hares.

First initial sketch of the standing stones picture

Having scanned in the sketch I transferred it to my iPad to see if I could complete the picture only using that, however I could not get the picture big enough to be able to make big high ...

After my last Steampunk painting I decided to do another wildlife picture, this time of a Kingfisher. I like to do my wildlife paintings to bring me back down to earth and marvel at the beauty of nature.

I have just completed my latest works titled Steam Dragon Wars. This painting proved a challenge to paint and is one of my most detailed yet! 
I wanted to paint another dragon as I have not done so in such a long time but I also wanted to do another Steampunk inspired piece so I mixed the two together and created a steam-powered mechanical dragon!
This piece started to develop in to a story line all of it's own. Why did such mechanical beasts exist? For what purpose? A War? Against another air ...

I can't believe it is now 2011. 2010 was a good year for me and my artwork. I went to some amazing events and met some lovely people in the last 12 months. This year I am looking to take my artwork in a new direction. I will still be producing Fantasy and wildlife based works rest assured, however after the sucess of my painting "Faerie catcher" I have decided to concentrate on more Steampunk themed pieces.

For those who are unsure what Steampunk is then imagine a world during Queen Victoria's...

I am currently working on a piece for the project Enchanted visions.

From Amy Browns website:
 The Enchanted Visions Project is a fun experiment that Jessica Galbreth and Amy Brown have embarked upon, whereby they both agree on a title for an image and then create their own interpretation of that title.


 The project is being run by Coriander- Shea and any faery/fantasy artist are allowed to participate.
