Up, Up and Away



Up, Up and Away is the second full Sidheforest world I created. After Ozmosis, I wanted to get started right away on the next new world, but was obessed with bubbles. So first off the color palette changed to match my "bubble" concept that was stuck in my head at the time. Then of course I had to have trees. LOL The mushrooms came in only after I had to painting almost done and decided that there was not enough going on.

Ok....If I can stopping laughing and blushing to type.......The "balloons" that I added to the picture obviously do not look like ballons, but much more like little floating sperm. OMG.....oh well.... The painting well loved no matter how falic my silly subconscious wants to make it.

Ozmosis - Creating a New World



Osmosis was born with the desire to create painting with more depth and elements working together to create a new world. I having been working on discovering different elemets that I love and that work for me as an artist. In Ozmosis I have combined several of the elements that I love to create, such as the planet trees, and little catapillar. This is the first full Sidheforest World painting, in a what I hope will be a long line to come.

Sidhe's Art / Work Space


My Work Space for creating dreams! LOL
I bought this fabulous vinyl table cloth so that I don't have to care about how much paint gets on the table. If someone is truely determined to actually eat at the table, they usually need special permission to move a painting. My daughters cleaned off most of the table to take this picture. Most days there are at least two large painting on it at a time.


and this is the kitchen island where I have anouther painting in mid creation.

I would love to hear about your creation space!

The idea for this new collection, that I have only just stared, was actually given to me by a drawing that my ten yr old son gave me. They range in size from 5" x 7" to 22" x 28". They are all created with Water colors and Premium Acrylic on stretched wrapped canvas.
"Monsters" have been such a fun little group to create, and are quickly becoming one of my favorite collections.

Robots and rusty parts




I've always had an afininity for working with parts of things that you would throw away. Like broken toys and old rusty stuff. LOL

Here are some robots that I had fun making with some great rusty finds from a parking lot of a factory that my mom was delivering to in her big rig.
