of sorts.
i promised myself a couple of things once i had the surgery/fusion completed. 2 weeks out of surgery now and one of those things on the list was a re-do of my website and blog and things such as that. we all know self-promotion is my downfall. give me a pencil or paintbrush and i can work some magic, but the self-promo part of it all, not really my thing.
the website
www.theenchantedeasel.com is under construction for the next 5 days or so. i just wanted to make some changes. i'm a big believer in always trying to better yourself (even if it's just a small change). all those small changes add up to a bigger and better nicole :)
here are some peeks at the artwork for a couple of the website pages...

all decked out in her pearls.
this will be the last mermaid/finished painting i post for a while, as i will be having some neck surgery next week and laying off the painting arm. for a bit...
i hope to be able to post some random sketches of cuteness throughout the recovery process, done from my couch. until i can get back to the *enchantment* that awaits at my easel, that is ;)
June is FOR SALE here:
along with a few other mermaids that can be found in my shop.
hope to be back to painting sooner rather than later!
until then....
happy painting friends!!! :)

while currently working on my mermaid series of paintings, i received a custom order (my first one in a while....)
about 5 years back, i did a nursery art set of paintings for a sweet baby girl named Fia. well mom loved everything so much that she approached me last week to do their baby boy's name panels as well (and two other coordinating paintings). of course i said YES! besides, cute little animals and bright colors?! right up my alley...;)
below are some peeks of the panels in progress. and a peek at baby Fia's paintings i did...5 years ago!

january's mermaid.
i haven't been blogging (or painting much for that matter) as i am waiting to have a cervical spine fusion in the next week. don't ask...
anyhoo, i'm trying to take it easy (which is next to impossible for me) and paint a little bit at a time, as i have pain that shoots all the way down my painting arm. needless to say the last few weeks have been pretty challenging.
i've had this beauty drawn up for a bit now and have slowly been working on her. hoping to have her done before the surgery and posted FOR SALE.
after that, i'll be taking it a bit slower than usual for a while as i will be constrained to a neck brace for a few weeks. so during that time, even if i can't work at the easel, i will hopefully be able to draw and sketch from my couch.
then i'll be back better and stronger than ever 'cause my drive definitely outweighs my small size!;)

in january...;)
i have been working on this illo/painting for the past few days. it was inspired by a dear friend of mine's daughter, born on st. patty's day. the ironic thing...she's about 110% POLISH! go figure...;)
i just thought a little irish whimsy would be fun. for the sake of the illo, i decided to make her hair a strawberry blonde color...kinda like macaroni and cheese (and how could THAT be bad....)!
i'm just about done and will be listing it FOR SALE as a PRINT sometime in early february.
hey, who says leprechauns are always boys...?!;)

one for every month of the year!
that's what's up next!
i thought it would be fun to do a series of paintings of beautiful little mermaids, based on the gemstone of the month.
i always think it's interesting (and inspiring) to see how other artists work...their creative process, if you will. here's a peek at mine...
from tiny little thumbnails to the sketch outline to a little bit of *coloring* (because i like my sketch books to look pretty) :)
from there i will trace my sketch directly from my sketchbook and then transfer it to my canvas, so that the painting remains as close to the original sketch as possible.
can not wait to start paintings these beauties! :)

and her little fish friend, pisces, of course ;)
she is the fist in a series of mermaids based on birthstones for every month of the year. i chose my favorite gemstone first, the aquamarine. funny, considering i am the biggest PINK fanatic there is. however, i have always been completely entranced by the beauty and serenity of the aquamarine. just a breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL stone!
ok...back to little beryl here...;)
the ORIGINAL painting is for sale here:
and PRINTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. message me through the link above and i can surely accommodate you.
can't wait to do more of these little beauties....

why a TRIO of cute little elephants, of course ;)
while working on several projects at once, i had an order come in on tuesday night for the nursery art set of elephants i have listed in my shop here
to be re-painted in a pink and gray color scheme to match a bedding for a baby shower gift. well, it was a RUSH order, so to speak. needed to be shipped this coming monday the 4th.
well, after deciding 2 might not be enough as far as the wall space was concerned (the canvases are only 6x6), we decided to add a third one.
so....i introduce you to stella. joined by her sisters bella and ella, of course :)
i had a WONDERFUL time painting these, as elephants are my absolute FAVORITE!
thanks for the order Nubia. so happy you are pleased!

did you ever just have one of those weeks where NOTHING goes right and EVERYTHING goes wrong?! well, needles to say, this was mine....(and i hope it doesn't get repeated anytime soon)...
i am working on shane's painting (below) as well as a custom painting for a little boy named grady (whose obviously going to grow up a Phillies fan...*as i cringe being the Braves fan i am...)
progress on shane's painting was much slower than i was hoping due to a week filled with....life i suppose. hoping to be able to get back on track this weekend...*fingers crossed*....

i am selling PRINTS of this here in my etsy shop WITHOUT the name on the blocks-because i was smart and scanned it before i painted his name ;)

working on 2 custom piece at once. this one for a little girl named lauren who loves her ladybugs.
and the latter one, a painting for a baby named grady (whose family are big phillies fans). myself being the die-hard atlanta braves fan that i am....well, let's just say i'm tying not to *accidentally* make him a brave ;)
