Griffmobile Designs: My Birthday Present

http://griffmobile.blogspot.com/2010/06/my-birthday-present.html

Tuesday, June 08, 2010. Since I started creating more of presence online for my art business (murals, web design, illustrations, etc), I have found so. It's awe-inspiring and intimidated at the same time, you. Know what I mean. One of the artists I really liked is Stephanie Fizer, http:/ stephaniefizer.com. I think her style is adorable, and I'm in love with her color palettes. So, I sent my husband a link to her Etsy shop. And told him that's what I wanted, if he was so inclined to buy me a present :).

Thursday, May 20, 2010. Tuscan Landscape Mural - Countryside Done! I finished the countryside scene inside the archway today. Here's a couple pictures. The clients are pretty happy with it, and so am I. I'm glad I got it done today because they are having a party on Saturday, and I wanted it to be a good stage of completion to be shown. I gave them a few of my business cards to hand out, in case any party folk are interested in their own. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Tuscan Landscape Mural - Paint on the Wall.

Griffmobile Designs: March 2010

Friday, March 26, 2010. Earth Mother, Final in a Series. I started this series of illustrations a few years ago, when my friends first started having babies. I began. Sketching mothers swaddling and cuddling their babies and ended up with four sketches I wanted to paint. I got through three. Then I had a baby and the last one got put on hold for a while, you know how it is. Monday, March 22, 2010. Anyway, the colors on the flowers are so vibrant, maybe that's why I like them so much. If you get reall...

Griffmobile Designs: February 2010

http://griffmobile.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 26, 2010. When I was a little girl, my mother painted murals on my and my sister's bedroom walls of castles, fairies and magic. I imagined myself inside these paintings, fantasizing about being a princess, flying through the air, escaping to another land. My mother is a great artist. She was always painting, creating, sewing, sculpting art and cooking when I was growing up.and still does! Another classic theme: fairies, castles and a magical rainbow. I loved these as a kid. I had noticed...

Griffmobile Designs: Patchwork Meadow is a Great Place to Read

http://griffmobile.blogspot.com/2010/07/patchwork-meadow-is-great-place-to-read.html

Monday, July 19, 2010. Patchwork Meadow is a Great Place to Read. Okay, I know I said this last time, but it's HOT here! When I'm painting at night, I can't even open the windows until 9:30 or 10:00pm. On the other hand, I believe I'm sweating off tons of calories. Here's my current paint palette. Since I'm painting more complex, smaller things, I need more colors! I'm going to move on the next wall, but I may come back and add another character or two. I cant wait to see more, Val!

Griffmobile Designs: More Work Done on the Magical World

http://griffmobile.blogspot.com/2010/07/more-work-done-on-magical-world.html

Thursday, July 08, 2010. More Work Done on the Magical World. Even for a designer and illustrator, the pull of summer can be strong enough to tear me away from my computer. That's my excuse for not posting for a while, but I HAVE been painting the magical world mural! It's getting a little more time-consuming because I'm getting into the details of the characters and smaller items. Here's a few photos of some working details. I really like the dirigible in the top image! Wow Val, this is amazing!

Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Tuscan Garden Mural - Sketches for the Client. I was hired to paint a Trompe-l'oeil mural in my clients backyard on a garage wall facing their garden. Trompe-l'oeil is French for 'trick the eye'. For those of you who don't know, it's a style of painting that creates an optical illusion, a three-dimensional, realistic image.
