newest:

a little different from my normal style, but I like it. it felt good to be mixing paints again.

painting for the first time in 3 weeks and enjoying the rest of AD's new season with a few glasses of Tullamore Dew. Life isn't too bad right now.

I'm back!

I arrived in the US again a couple days ago and am back at work. Tomorrow I will dive back into the paints and ink, but first some photos:

Beer-Money Tea Paintings

Ink and tea paintings added to the shop today!

Indigo

It's been way too long since I've made a post. I mean, seriously. Way too long. My excuse is that I've been spending most of my time working at both of my jobs, preparing for that move to Ireland and for a  (much shorter) trip to Germany. Yesterday I meant to paint and update on here, but my first attempt at Indigo dyeing proved to be much more time-consuming and laborious than I'd expected. It was so much fun, though! I'm definitely going to do it again.

Anyway, things will be a bit scattered, I'm sure, for the next several weeks while I'm in Germany and Italy. After that, I imagine there will be plenty to post about and lots of new art.

linen tablecloth, already put to use

and a few articles of clothing that were too boring in their original colors.

i'm kind of proud of that pair of underwear. seriously.

the success of this shirt was the biggest surprise.

these were too cute not to post...

Slow progress on new piece. i've just slowed the process even further by deciding to switch to oils. Also starting an acrylic portrait of Bobby Sands for my poetry series. That should come together much more easily, I hope.
