I have been so incredibly busy this summer and am very behind on art blogging updates. Now, excuses aside…
This is a piece I did at a party at Aperture Studios on Barrington St in May for fantasy art model Drakaina Muse.

I did the piece back when my digital camera was not working properly, and did not feel that any photos I took of the work did it justice. No one at the event was able to get me pictures of the piece, so.I held onto the painting to get a good shot when the faulty camera was replaced. Now that I have a working camera, I have to play catchup!
I used metallic green and yellow paint to make this piece stand out. Drakaina was busy being an absolutely delightful hostess and was rarely within sight while I was painting this work, but I think her guests enjoyed having a live painter present. This photo studio has an open concept, and is naturally lit by large beautiful windows overlooking Barrington St. Drakaina’s images were on every wall. There was a white dog sniffing around people’s feet on a leash. Most guests were dressed very fancy in lovely sexy dresses or sharp, dark suits. There was a buffet table filled entirely with cake and candy.
You can view countless fantasy art images of Drakaina on her website: http://drakaina.com/

She sells books, posters, etc of her fan art if you are interested. She greatly appreciates artists who want to render an image of her in your own style, so feel free to drop her a line.
