I discovered this artist quite a long time ago. The very first image I saw, I loved it instantly. His detail and imagination are like nothing else that I have ever seen. His work is contemporary surrealism, and although there are many other artists similar to Daniel, I still find … Continue reading →

I know it’s been a while, but I have been passionately working on a second edition of Famlaer the Real Faeryland and a second book in the series called Famlaer a New Home in an Old Land. I have just released the second edition, which has larger illustrations and a few extra descriptions. This first book is mainly a description of the faeries and the land they live in.

The next book, which will be out before the end of the year, is a story with lots of adventure as they travel to find their new home.

You can find Famlaer on Amazon in paperback and digital forms.

Here is an excerpt from Famlaer – The Real Faeryland. I hope you enjoy this and will buy the book to see more of the faery life.

Prima Ballerina and Broadway Baby

Gallery

By | | ,

As most of you know, I am getting ready to show my art at a local amateur theatre in the fall. This is a pair of dancers that will be in the show. They are both mainly acrylic paints with a few added things like a metallic marker, clay and rhinestones to add a little texture to each piece. 

The first piece is called Broadway Baby. Rhinestones are used to portray the lights of the Broadway sign as well as near the top, a purple teardrop and a round yellow stone. The purple and yellow are also used on the bottom, both sides and in the middle. The rhinestones are covered with a super gloss top coat to give them a high-gloss shine. Also, a gold metallic marker is used for the border and gold, and yellow sparkle glue was used for the hat, the blouse and the sign. 

The second piece is called Prima Ballerina. I have added a few clay pieces made from clay moulds, and the silver lines are made using a silver metallic marker. I used a stencil for the top and bottom decorations with silver acrylic paint.

Mother and Daughter clay piece
Mother and Daughter

I have been working on a few art pieces for an exhibition at an amateur theatre this fall. I am using a multitude of mediums, including acrylic and watercolour paint, oil pastels, polymer & air dry clays, different-sized canvases, and watercolour paper. A few of the pieces involve using different types of clay and acrylic paint on canvas, all surrounded by a wood three-dimensional frame.

For this particular project, I used only two colours, blue and white. It is called Mother and Daughter. They are seated having their special tea time.

I used polymer clay for the figures, an 8″ x 8″ canvas, acrylic paint, 2 3/4″ x 3/4″ wood for the frame and 1 1/4″ wide moulding for the front to finish it off.
