New Painting, Elephantess and print release

Just stoppin in the share my most recent finished painting:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6278179734/" title="Elephantess by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Elephantess" height="640" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6216/6278179734_144f3d01df_z.jpg" style="WIDTH: 401px; HEIGHT: 555px" width="480" /></a><br />"Elephantess"<br />Original acrylic painting by Chelsea Rose<br /><br />I cant believe it took me so long to finish her! I started this one Sept. 1st. which means its taken me almost 2 months to complete. I think thats a testimate to how busy things have been.<br />This painting is loosely inspired by Lakshmi, Hindu Goddess of fortune. She is often depicted with beautiful elephants by her side but in my version I melded Lakshmi with her elephant counterparts. Her old fashioned, fancy aristocratic dress and top hat are meant to communicate her abundance/ prosperity/fortune. I tried to incorporate a couple of the traditional symbols associated with the Goddess Lakshmi: the Lotus in her hand( evolution), Gold on the lotus, dress, in her eyes(prosperity), red/magenta/pink dress(creative activity), elephant head(wisdom, purity, charity) and peacock feather in her hat(transmutation, eternal knowing and truth.)<br />It was fascinating taking the time to research and get to know Lakshmi. I had hoped to finish her in time for Diwali Day when she is often worshiped/celebrated but that didn't go as planned.<br />Anyhoo, I plan on releasing some 8"x10" prints of her soon, so keep an eye on <a href="http://www.lucidopticlab.etsy.com/"><strong>my etsy shop</strong></a>.<br /><br />Speaking of prints...I recently released a new one:<br /><br /><img height="473" src="http://img3.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.278251891.jpg" style="WIDTH: 432px; HEIGHT: 443px" width="434" /><br />"Goddess of the Hunt"<br />original acrylic painting<br />8"x10" prints now available for $15 <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/83876725/goddess-of-the-hunt-8x10-giclee-print"><strong>here</strong></a>.<br /><br />And here is one of 9 art pendants up for grabs right now:<br /><br /><img height="509" src="http://img1.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.278820937.jpg" style="WIDTH: 483px; HEIGHT: 437px" width="485" /><br />The art used in this pendant is an archival giclee print of my original acrylic painting "Mistress and the Orb"<br />Let this pendant serve as a thing of beauty or work as a good luck charm of sorts, stimulating your drive to explore the majestic and mysterious.<br />Available for $10<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/84033140/orb-mistress-art-pendant"><strong>here</strong></a>.<br /><br />More comin soon!<br />Much love,<br />-Chelsea Rose

Elephantress - new painting, Work In Progress photos and more

Hello all,<br /><br />Just stoppin in to share with you the first few glimpses of my new painting during its process of creation:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6105399052/" title="Elephantress WIP by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Elephantress WIP" height="335" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6190/6105399052_8de73aa645.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6105399000/" title="art table 09 01 2011 by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="art table 09 01 2011" height="335" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6088/6105399000_50fa6d86df.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br />This piece is inspired by Lakshmi, the Hindu Goddess of wealth, light, prosperity, fortune, generosity and more. I always referred to her as the 'Elephant Goddess' which is incorrect....but she is usually depicted as a fresh faced goddess with many arms holding lotuses, surounded by elephants. So, you can see where I drew inspiration for this character. The green background works well with the themes of fortune and fertility too.<br /><br />Excited to begin this painting...looking forward to working more on it soon!<br /><br /><br /><br />Here is my original pen and ink drawing of her:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5092110535/" title="Elephantress by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Elephantress" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5092110535_c0f17a89bf.jpg" width="391" /></a><br /><br />(original pen and ink drawing by Chelsea Rose)<br /><br />....I do have 5"x7" prints avilaible of her for $7<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/78028407/elephant-goddess-lakshmi-pen-and-ink"><strong>here</strong></a>.<br /><br /><br /><br />In other news, this weekend <a href="http://www.dannyebruarts.blogspot.com/"><strong>Danny Ebru</strong></a> and I will be out sellin our art down at the <a href="http://portlandsaturdaymarket.com/"><strong>Portland Saturday Market</strong></a>:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/5680623786/" title="Portland Saturday Market by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="Portland Saturday Market" height="255" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5066/5680623786_55acf8a493.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br />Come look for us, chat a spell and maybe, just maybe grab up some art while your at it!<br /><br /><br /><br />I do so hope your summer has been enjoyable.<br /><br />Much love and light,<br /><br />-Chelsea Rose<br /><br /><br /><br />

Finished painting: Promise Of Healing and weekend pics of art vending

I feel a strong pull in my life right now centering around transformation. The winds of change have recently made me gut my art room and turn my dining room into my new working studio. At first I wasn't thrilled about the idea. Having a dedicated room for art had its perks: it was so much easier to make a big art mess and then have a room to hide it in when i needed a break. However it was too easy to forget about my art projects. Now that my creative work space is out in the open again i cant ignore my half finished paintings because they stare me in the face! Thus, since relocating my creative space i have noticed a sudden burst of productivity and I am thankful for it.<br /><br /><br /><br />I wanted to share my newly finished painting:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6092470495/" title="The Promise of Healing by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="The Promise of Healing" height="500" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6204/6092470495_4bc16a41e9.jpg" width="396"></a><br /><br />"The Promise of Healing"<br /><br />original acrylic painting by Chelsea Rose<br /><br />This painting is a reminder that often not fire/pain/destruction play a part in the healing process.<br /><br /><br /><br />In other news, its been a hot couple of weeks but we have been enjoying some fun and successful days down at the Portland Saturday Market sellin our art.<br /><br />Here are a few photos from this past weekend:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6092470453/" title="Portland Saturday Market Booth by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Portland Saturday Market Booth" height="335" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6206/6092470453_564b11b3dc.jpg" style="WIDTH: 422px; HEIGHT: 284px" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/6089214175/" title="Portland Saturday Market by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="Portland Saturday Market" height="331" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6205/6089214175_0c3c9f7e56.jpg" style="WIDTH: 416px; HEIGHT: 286px" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />...Thats it for now folks.

Birthday Excursion into the woods with paint

So, you may or may not have noticed that i have been rather quiet this month. Truth is its my Birthday month so i have been more introspective with my goals centering more so around relaxation and personal time. Yes, the art has suffered a bit...but I have managed to spend some time on my current <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5963266414/in/photostream"><strong>painting in the works</strong></a> and i am seriously about 20 mins away from finishing it! So i will be sharing photos of that soon.<br /><br /><br /><br />My 24th birthday was on Monday and i decided to take a few days off from work and get away from the city. So my better half and I ran off to the southern Oregon woods of wolf creek to visit with my big bro <a href="http://blog.randytooth.com/"><strong>Wonder in his most amazing patch of forest</strong></a>. We had a splendid time spent hangin out, swimin in fresh mountain water, eating yummy food, star gazing, story tellin and...painting!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6058413986/" title="Harpy's Golden egg - coop mural in wolf creek oregon by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Harpy's Golden egg - coop mural in wolf creek oregon" height="500" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6066/6058413986_a3ef48c16c.jpg" width="335" /></a><br /><br />Wonder and Tinker have a full attic of art supply goodies and they had the great idea to paint thier newly fashioned chicken coop. It was decided that I would paint a harpy laying a golden egg.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6058413984/" title="Harpy's Golden egg - coop mural in wolf creek oregon by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Harpy's Golden egg - coop mural in wolf creek oregon" height="335" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6187/6058413984_092a38a9c8.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.dannyebruarts.blogspot.com/"><strong>Danny</strong></a> helped out by painting a "GanEGGsha"<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/6056052715/" title="chicken coop by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="chicken coop" height="321" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6088/6056052715_c153b9ba3d.jpg" width="500" /></a> See? its Ganesha holding golden eggs.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/6056052591/" title="painting the chicken coop by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="painting the chicken coop" height="500" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6086/6056052591_eebd63239b.jpg" width="249" /></a><br /><br />Here we all are during various stages of the creative process. Wonder was painting a eggy hobbit riddle that went something like "A box without hinges, keys or lid yet golden treasure inside is hid?"<br /><br /><br /><br />Anyhoo! I had a wonderful time and want to run away and live in the woods forever.<br /><br /><br /><br />More updates soon.<br /><br />Love and Light,<br /><br />-Chelsea Rose<br /><br /><br /><br />

I will miss her but I am so excited that she found such a wonderful new home. I am also so inspired by the support! Thank you Holli. Love and Light! According to Holli, she met the Faery Guide when I had her on display down at the Saturday Market...and just couldn't get her out of her thoughts so she decided to give her a new home! Holli says shes a faery fanatic like me and so my Faery guide will be right at home in her house full of various faerie paraphernalia :) Could not have worked out better.<br /><br />In other news, we had a lot of fun vending down at the Last Thursday Artwalk on Alberta st fair:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/5986592439/" title="Last Thursday Art Walk On Alberta, July '11 by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="Last Thursday Art Walk On Alberta, July '11" height="500" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6005/5986592439_eb792443c6.jpg" width="377" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5974503715/" title="daisy chain dreadly updo by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="daisy chain dreadly updo" height="500" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6024/5974503715_90b4f7d17c.jpg" width="375" /></a><br />(photos by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/lucidopticlab"><strong>Danny</strong></a> )<br />....It was an especially fun night because we were surounded by a couple of our local artist friends; <a href="http://www.jslattum.com/"><strong>Justin Slattum</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="http://www.jasminestar.net/"><strong>Jasmin Star</strong></a> and <a href="http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/andrew-zeutzius.html"><strong>Andrew Zeutzius</strong></a>.

More Work In Progress painting and Tie Dye SALE

Woohoo! Made it alive to another Friday.<br />And i got a bit more work done on my current painting:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5932312143/" title="babylon burning- work in progress by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="babylon burning- work in progress" height="500" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6132/5932312143_e4a9fa3c02.jpg" style="WIDTH: 365px; HEIGHT: 417px" width="452" /></a><br />I added a very roughly painted ruined city consumed by flames in the background. I am going to play around with it more and see what i can do to help enhance it. I had really liked the background how it was before adding the city in, so had been going back and forth with myself on whether or not i wanted to stick to my plan and paint Babylon burning. I think i am liking it. Perhaps its helped push my intended meaning with the piece. The painting will most likely be titled " The Prophetess of healing." Its about the cycles and balance of life. The ebb and flow of death and renewal. Also expressing that there is pain/trauma in healing and yet the potential of transformation is exhilarating.<br /><br />In other news, we have put all of our <strong>Tie Dye on SALE</strong>!<br />All our shirts and skirts are just $10 each.<br />AND....if you use the following coupon code when purchasing you can get <strong>FREE SHIPPING</strong> to anywhere in the US.
