https://mastodon.social/@Xingcat...My skinny little “pencil” Christmas tree is finally up! I’ve been so scattered this season, I was sure I’d go without it, but I took an hour and a couple trips into the attic, and now it’s up! Feels like Christmas, finally.

A kind of deceptively simple abstract, in that thus is made up of so many layers of metallics, glazes, drips and varnishes.

https://mastodon.social/@Xingcat...A tiny square panel that was supposed to have crackle paint and a wreath painted on it, but the crackle paint chipped off a lot, so I kept adding spare bits of paint and varnish and mica powder, and now it looks like some sort of mineral deposit. Very shiny!

https://mastodon.social/@Xingcat...The makers’ market is in three days, and I’m finishing up production work on the things I think I can sell a number of. It’s been a bit of a challenge to figure out how to learn and be excited with repeating similar works, but that’s part of trying to be a working artist.

https://mastodon.social/@Xingcat...Mom gave me an old, mass-produced oil painting in a rather nice frame and I decided to see what I could do with painting over it in various varnishes, gold leaf and mica powders. The resulting possibly one of the prettiest paintings I’ve made so far.

https://mastodon.social/@Xingcat...I haven’t painted in a little while, so I took on a failed collage piece that has been sitting on a shelf for months. I repainted in a more limited color range, then added a thrifted, super-conservative frame, and now I like it.
