Rustygirlwmu,

Here is a picture of
the triptych I can make
for you. It would be oil
on canvas and the
edges are painted so it
doesn't need frames.
If you like my style I can
do something completely
custom to your
specifications if you like.
Let me know!
Sophie

Want to see what else I've been up to?

I've been making jewelry and selling them on ebay and etsy.com. My etsy store is sophiesbeads.etsy.com. I have my best stuff there. It's a new and fun way to use my artistic talent. I'm using my hands to sculpt, which I have always enjoyed, but this site is still going to primarily show my paintings.

Almost done

Last night I finished up the Eiffel Tower painting. Now I just need to paint the edges of the canvas and let it all dry. My guess is it will probably take up to 3 weeks to get completely dry.

Getting closer

I was able to get more of the Eiffel Tower painting done today. Here it is. It is more detailed than the cityscape painting, but keep in mind it is on a large canvas, so it looks more detailed than it really is. This picture is only a fraction of the actual size. Click on the picture to see it better.

Ready to finish

The Eiffel Tower painting's background is finally dry, so it's ready to get finished. Once it is, though, it will take a couple weeks to dry again. Black seems to be the color that takes the most time to dry. Hopefully I'll have it ready to post a picture in the next couple days.

Progress

I started painting the Eiffel Tower painting and I am loving the colors! I'm going to let it dry before I start painting the tower itself. That way it'll have a more dry-brush look to it like on the bridge in the cityscape painting. The second picture is a closer up view to show the brush-strokes. I am being really impatient about getting the tower on there. I keep having to remind myself that it'll look better if I wait.

New Eiffel Tower Sketch

This is the new sketch for the Eiffel Tower painting. Over the next couple days I'll have it out where I can see it often so that I can identify the mistakes and adjust the lines until I feel I have it ready to paint. What do you think Matt & Cierra?
