Magnets

It's been a busy weekend for me thus far. I spent some time the other day creating more handmade magnets. There's still plenty more that I'd like to make, so my Etsy store is going to gradually fill up with them. Below is a picture of working on the acrylic backing for the magnets and what the finished product looks like--packaging and all.

Progress Picture #1: Riverside Loungers

Here's the sketch for my next portrait piece:

Snorkeling

And it's finished! I have a couple more portrait pieces that I'm going to work on before shifting gears and paying more attention to the work for my animal portraiture solo exhibition--so expect a lot more animal portraits in the future.

I hope everyone had a happy Halloween!

I'm going to begin working on a series of mini winter collages before winter comes round. Here's the first one in the series:

Progress Picture #2: Snorkeling

Whew, it's been a busy week. Working away on collages--commissions and work for one of my solo exhibitions next year. I'm also working on preparations for packaging for handmade magnets that I'm going to add to my Etsy shop soon. I created some handmade magnets a while back, but now I'm going to work on a new batch with higher quality materials.

Anyway, here's my latest progress picture for my "Snorkeling" collage:

Owl

I hope everyone has had a great weekend! It's been pretty dreary here, although today is a beautiful autumn day thus far.

I was pretty good about working on my studio art this weekend. This little owl guy is part of my mini autumn collage series.
