Alright, here it is all finished. This is 11" x 15". I'm glad I went with the darker background.

I changed my mind

noreply@blogger.com (Randy Carboni) — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 03:29:00 +0000

I wasn't happy with the watercolor so I touched it up.

Update

noreply@blogger.com (Randy Carboni) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 02:54:00 +0000

The watercolor portion of this painting is done, on to the acrylics. For this series I didn't want to use acrylics but I have changed my mind after the last painting. It just seemed to lack something.

Blondie

One done and three to go. I'm trying to keep these bright and fresh and simple. I have been getting a little tired of the busy acrylic additions.

Pepsi Refresh Grants

noreply@blogger.com (Randy Carboni) — Thu, 05 May 2011 13:57:00 +0000

My friend is in the running for the Pepsi refresh grant and needs your votes. Please go and vote. Her is a note from Khristee about the grant

My idea is to spread laughter to thousands of people through a month of free comedic plays. This idea will impact 2,000 to 4,000 people in the San Francisco Bay area.

This grant will not provide all of the money that I would need to produce a production for a month in San Francisco, so I will be putting in some of my money too. But I think it's worth it!

I hope you will support me, the arts, and the people of California by voting for my idea. Please vote once daily throughout May and spread the word!

Piccolo Pizza & Jazzeria

Progress

noreply@blogger.com (Randy Carboni) — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 03:27:00 +0000

I have been spread pretty thin over the past couple of weeks. What little free time I have had was devoted to the Pirate a Day blog. I finally was able to sit down and work on a watercolor tonight. Next step acrylics, then framed.

Wiggly Flower

All done

Wiggly Flower (not done)

noreply@blogger.com (Randy Carboni) — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 04:11:00 +0000

The first problem I ran into was when I cut out the paper to the frame size, I didn't leave room to tape it down. I tape the paper down to prevent curling. Oops. I did the watercolor portion of one floral. Next step, acrylics.

It worked!

noreply@blogger.com (Randy Carboni) — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 23:59:00 +0000

I cut into the crow feather but because I waited so long the feather was brittle and broke into several pieces. with my never say die attitude I went a head and dipped it into the ink and began drawing. The results follow.

Working backwards

noreply@blogger.com (Randy Carboni) — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 04:22:00 +0000

I bought these three frames at an art tag sale. So I am working backwards, getting the frames first then creating the art that goes with them. I decided on three florals. The large crow feather at the bottom of the picture I am going to cut and use it as a pen. I hope it works.
