Action Shots!




Caught in the act! Back in late July or early August, David was a bit sneaky and took some pictures of me while I was working. Cheeky monkey. Anyway, the paintings I am seen working on are a series of five watercolors featuring a pink-tailed, anemone-headed mermaid. My goal was to have between 20 and 30 of these little paintings (all of different mermaids) ready for APE, but the Hawaiian Gods and goddesses ended up taking priority. I have still have my list of different themed mermaids that I will get around to sometime in the near future, but for now I will just post these. I realized that I had only posted two of the five when I finished them, so now here are the rest. I hope you enjoy them! And I promise, promise, promise to post new artwork soon.


Oh - I have also posted these in the Etsy shop for anyone interested! Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

  7. Brittney, just thought I'd say how much I love your work and this blog. I'm a second year student at Sheridan, and Nancy Beiman shows us "Mozart McFiddle" about every second day. It's a great thesis, but what's more is I am so impressed with how far your work has come since. Your Hawaiian pieces, for example, are truly inspirational. You seem like an awesome person, as well, so thanks for the regular postings and congrats on your growth as an artist!

  14. Hi.
    How is it going?
    This is Balão, I'm an illustrator.

    I would like to invite you to take part on the project MY ABBEY ROAD COVER.

    The idea here is to produce the largest collection of recreations/reinterpretations of the famous album cover photographed by Ian MacMillan.

    For that, each artist is invited to create his/hers own version of the classic Beatles album cover using the technique that suits better his/hers style. Digital, collage, china ink, pencil, pastels, watercolour, anything.

    Please, feel yourself very welcome to send your 72dpi art to myabbeyroadcover@bol.com.br along with your name and website. This can be a very fun and creatively challenging thing.

    Let's have some fun.

    Take care.
    Cheers.
    Balão.

  15. These are really great. Love the clarity of the poses. It's hard not to compare these to Glen Keane's mermaid stuff, but they both share a very very clear motion and attitude. Inspiring work!
