Figure Painting

Untitled

Oil on canvas panel

I am really happy with the way this one turned out. It's the third piece I've painted in just a few days, a great record for me these days. I also used a new color on this. I've been meaning to buy Cadmium Red Light for a while now and I bought it yesterday. This is the first piece I've used it on. Not sure it made a huge difference in my skin tones, but it did inspire me to get up and paint on a Sunday morning. :)

Night Out

"Night Out"

Oil on canvas

I took two pictures to try and capture this painting. This is why I'll love being able to show and sell my work in person...less reason to rely on my camera. haha. In this one, I obviously stayed really loose. I wanted to capture the fun and movement of the two girls. It's fun painting several figures in one piece, so putting in the background figures added depth and a fun depiction of what's going on - a dance party! lol

Half Dressed

I had some fun painting the jeans on this half clothed figure, haha. I am still waiting on the new applications for Riverside Arts Market 2011. I'm collecting all the things I'll need to apply: pictures of my art, pictures of my work space, and biggest of all - my business license. Now for writing up a description of my process and how I make my products - my art. I am excited to get out there and have the opportunity to show and sell my works in person at RAM.

Step 1 for Riverside Arts Market

Step 1 - Done! I have my business license. Step 2 will applying to Riverside Arts Market, which I have started on already. Hooray! I am officially called Amber Bailey Art Works. The lady behind the counter didn't ask me what I'd like to call myself, but I actually like what she picked. More to come soon...

Getting Ready for RAM

I will be applying to sell my work at Riverside Arts Market here in Jacksonville. These are picks of my mock-up display for my application. It is exciting to see all my work together. These paintings are like an extension of me and I can really see a cohesive image when they're all shown together. I'll be in the process of applying, finding a display tent and getting my business license in the next month or so. Wish me luck! :)
