I was never satisfied with this painting. I decided to highlight the texture of the entire tree. The tree's texture was created using pallet knife and a mixture of acrylic stucco medium, acrylic glaze, and acrylic paint. I still have more detailing. My good camera took a dive so this was taken with my iPhone. Needless to say it's a little out of focus. Anyone know of any good camera deals?
Finished Fire Wire Surfboad
Before resin coat. That will bring out the colors a bit more. Japanese inspired piece. The Miyazaki films are a great influence in my illustrations. I've also been studying Japanese modern art, tattoo, and film.

Work 3 in my Japanese inspired series (In PROGRESS)
Since I was a little girl, I have been enthralled by the Japanese culture. Old and new it holds a place in my heart. This third piece in my series takes a edgy surrealistic/animated edge to pay homage to the great country of Japan. My girls and I have been die hard fans of the Miyazake fims, as well as more classic pieces. I've been studying them with my girls, as well as Japanese art of tattoo. I have a feeling this series could extend on for quite a few pieces. It brings me joy. I would love to visit Japan with my husband and girls in tow.
Work in progress. Elements I adore in Japanese culture, with my twist of course
