Kat Powell Artist

 For the bird's background I actually watered down the acrylics and put salt on it. Although the photo doesn't capture it the salt adds a bit of glittery shine. Braces and a wrist watch calculator, what a whale! Painted the little bugger on foamboard and cut him out with x-acto. I had this scrap of woodboard sitting around and I decided to play off of the natural wood grains, which made up the curves in the water and the white highlights. Treasure Island.... in a bottle.  "Never Knows Best" This is actually an oil painting. (oops) After doing so many still life paintings I decided to put a twist to this still life. It consisted of cloth, a basket, and a mask which I morphed into a person who's body is stuck under the table. Toe Painting! Yep, aside from the texture that I fixed to the canvas, I painting the entire image with me toes. I know that is not as impressive as painting with a boob or penis but I'm happy with my work. ;)

If you ever have artist block play this game. Go up to a friend and ask them for a color, a living creature, a setting, and a motion/emotion. (you can alter this game anyway you like) That is what helped to spur on these two images. 1st image : purple, scarab beetle, water, drooping 2nd image : teal, waterbear (tardigrade), bubble, relaxing *google search a waterbear, they are fascinating little bugs ;)
