The Big Picture

I like this place, I like it very much. I need to call in the lonely girl and her pet. I'll reveal the pet as it comes along. 

Enjoy your weekend!

Surprise!

These flowers blossomed overnight. They are so rare and precious. They don't seem to mind all the rain and seem a little bitchy. I wanted these to stand out with a cotton candy-like color. I could not get their little faces right, I knew I didn't want happy flowers, I wanted them dark and gloomy. I think the vines coming out of the stems gave them the final touch.

It's getting sad...

Some very sad clouds have moved in and they look like they've been hand stitched! I wanted some black crows to darken the mood, but crows aren't very cute. I decided to go with my very own version of black cute crows. The sky is coming together. Tomorrow will be another day.

Milli Vanilli

So I'm sitting there listening to Milli Vanilli's Blame it on the Rain when inspiration hits me. Bam! What about a painting about just that- blaming it on the rain. My mind starts racing and I start the sketch.

I can see the entire thing in living color in my mind. As an ode to Camille Rose Garcia, whom I admire, I want to do it in a drippy, gloomy style. My favorite color is blue, so obviously, I choose that as my main color. I'm getting excited but I've got to go pick up Liam from the bus.

First Day

So excited to finally have my blog up. My name is Marybel Martin and I am an artist. I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. I will post work in progress on my blog so that you can see how my art comes to life. Enjoy!
