Mahommes Magic

 

How can I resist creating the magic of our hometown boys in copper? GO CHIEFS!  I am looking forward to an amazing game tomorrow!  Artwork number 5094 in 5094 days. 

Another High Five

These hometown boys were super fun to paint in ink, watercolor and hot wax on rice paper! I am manifesting destiny with each painting and keeping the positive energy flowing!  I am using my thinnest paper for truly luminous result, which begins all of the challenges that come with that.  It is rice paper, after all, and it dissolves away with too much brush work.  I've gotten a few requests to teach a workshop on this, perhaps I'll get something on the schedule for just that.  Painting number 5093 in 5093 days. 

Mahommes and Kelce High 5

 

I'm working with ink, watercolor and hot wax again on a couple of our home town boys!  I have long been wanting to paint some of our Chiefs in watercolor batik, and this is the perfect week to do it!  The rice paper I am working on is so very fragile that I'm having a bit of trouble with it.  I'm using Qor red here - and it is absolutely perfect for this!  It didn't fade through the hot wax nor the ironing is said wax off, which is amazing!  The other paints are Daniel Smith since I'm working on the studio for this one.  His paints have been my favorite since I first picked up watercolor paint.  I'm lucky to have chosen his first, I probably saved myself lots of time and disappointment with inferior paints.  I've got a theme going, and I hope to keep it up to game time!  Painting number 5091 in 5091 days. 

Mahommes in Copper

It's so fun getting caught up in the excitement of another Super Bowl run for our Kansas City Chiefs! In copper, I sketch the form, working back and front to push the metal where I want it.  It stretches with the stress, and I sculpt it with assorted tools.  I love switching up mediums daily - it keeps everything I do fresh.  Artwork number 4048 in 4048 days.
