This is a jointed paper doll I painted in egg tempera on paper. I'm thinking of having it printed and selling them on my etsy store. I love jointed paper dolls, but I don't know if other folks will like her since she's a bit different from other merfolk.
This is one of three paintings I made for Andrew's opening 'Into the Night' held this month at Allegory Gallery. I really enjoyed working on black canvas with a very different pallette than I usually use.
I think this piece was the favorite of the bunch...probably since the owls face is cute.
This is a portrait of an invented individual. I thought of her as a witch, since her face held a bit of secrecy and maybe a little sadness.
Wow- breathtakingly gorgeous Cynthia! I for one, would love prints of the first and last ones. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are amazing.....

Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are quite magical. I think your jointed mermaid has amazing potential. She is so lovely and would look wonderful constructed and framed in a shadow-box- a beautiful blend of painting and delicate sculpture!
Thanks everyone! I think the mermaid looks great in a shadowbox. I really loved painting her. On to the next one!
ReplyDeleteI have long been a fan of your jewelry- and now I find out you are an equally talented painter! Is there anything you cannot do? Your work is beautiful and inspiring- can't wait to see what you do next!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dalaimomma!
ReplyDeleteI actually studied to be a painter/sculpter in my youth. I guess jewelry was a natural direction. And there are so many things I can't do! I can't make a website or even change my blogroll. Techie stuff is hard for me.
Good to know about your blog such a nice and very informative i have read and i am very inspired from you and i wanna buy jewelry and i hope you will carry on these types blog posting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us.
They all draw me in, but I have to say the girl with the owls is captivating me! She is popping out of the dark. She is the queen of the night! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really want to buy one of this mermaid! I wish you could have an online class on how to make them, draw them, paint them! You are wonderfully talented!
