Surfboard in works

Here is Jeffrey (surfer, board maker, most delightful human being and even more) taking the latest board we co-created to be fiber glassed.

It's been busy here at the outiart and I have lot's of new things brewing...I will schedule in blogging time soon to show you what else is in the works.

Going to the studio now... to finish my "I am a strange chick" painting...

Ciao!

Surfboard: work in process

This is how the board looked yesterday when I left the studio... I painted over everything how it was day before (check the post below). It's not ready and I still don't know what next...it's a mysterious process to me and every time I feel like a beginner again!! I can feel the wonder and frustrations simultaneously.

Painting spree

From the studio: surfboard art

back of the board

front of the board

I hand painted this surfboard for a local Venice surfer who makes his own boards.
He gave me total creative freedom to do "my thing" and I had a great time with this one!
This is before the fiber class coating. Pics with the shiny new coating to come.
I discovered that surfboards are great big canvases....I definitely want to do more of them!

Creative Thursday baby collection

My friend Marisa just added little baby onesies to her etsy shop. They are sooooo cute!
And she is having one of them as a giveaway on her blog, check it out here!

Intricate, for Illustration friday.

This is a painting that was in my last art showing. It's called : "loving madly".
I think it also fits the topic of the week, intricate, at illustrationfriday.com

Magnets in my etsy shop

I have just added my hand painted, one of kind, ceramic magnets to my etsy shop.

starting the day right!

For years my morning ritual is to have my coffee and read the paper in the coffee shop near my house. Now I got company...my good friend Flo has moved into the neighborhood and we meet for morning coffee when ever we can. Now I don't have time to read the paper so much...we just talk, talk, talk and laugh a lot!
After that I am ready to go to studio and paint!

celebrate!

I did this painting few years ago. It's called "sunny side up" and I think it fits the
topic of the week for illustrationfriday, which is "celebrate".

"I am a fertile garden"

I just finished this one. The process of painting it was so effortless and enjoyable!
I love when that happens! I followed what the brush wanted to do and where it wanted to go. There is a exchange of energy happening between me and the painting..it
gives back to me, surprises me...I watch it take a shape and come alive!
I say that is a good day(or days) in the studio!

new paintings...

" embrace"

"love lives here"
