A Tree Grows On My Dining Room Table
October 31, 2011
Since it was beautiful outside today, much progress was made.
COPPER TREE.
The stretcher bars have arrived for the painting portion, but the canvas is still on its way. The next step: finishing out the tree. Highlighting, smoothing, shaping. Once it’s roughly mounted on the painting, the vines and arial roots will happen. The goal is to seamlessly integrate the 3D portion into the 2D without losing the texture, but also without seeming bulky.
While I hurry up and wait for the missing canvas, I’m working on several illustrations.
I WANT TO BE AN ILLUSTRATOR REALLY REALLY BAD.

So, anywho, here’s the preview that tells you nothing:
The rose really has nothing to do with it. It just fell off my skirt.
But here are the influences:
Ficus Tree + Faeries + Kate Towers + Blix-It + Whichgoose
Blix-It's beautiful hand-painted watercolor illustrations. Click the pic to see the Deviant Art site!
Whichgoose's ethereal hairpieces. She's at Etsy...click the pic to visit.
Kate Tower's dress sculpture creations. Clickety-click! The website's pretty fun on its own, let alone visiting the dresses.
Over and Out.
