I have survived another weekend and have some fruits of labor to share with you.<br /><br />Over the weekend I managed to finish up this painting I have been working on:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5525802070/" title="finished painting by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="finished painting" height="339" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5255/5525802070_c59764a2d3.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />(Angel or Alien?<br />14"x14" orginal acrylic painting on canvas<br />by Chelsea Rose )<br />...I took this photo as the gloss varnish was drying.<br /><br />She started off as a pen and ink drawing i did a couple months back:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5326437220/" title="Alien or Angel? by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Alien or Angel?" height="240" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5289/5326437220_0eef1bde4b_m.jpg" width="195" /></a><br />(original pen and ink drawing by Chelsea Rose)<br />...its always interesting to see what sort of changes the original concept drawing goes through as i work on turning it into a painting. I had a lot of fun painting this peice because I used my two favoerite colors as my pallete basis: green and purple. I did a video/time lapse recording of me putting the first layers of color on the painting. check out my work in progress video <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5406436223/in/photostream/"><strong>here</strong></a>.<br /><br />So now that she is done I need to decide on which of the following drawings to turn into a painting next....<br /><br />This one:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5467581518/" title="Mistress and the Orb by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Mistress and the Orb" height="240" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5135/5467581518_07aa3cbb44_m.jpg" width="180" /></a><br />(Misstress of the Orb, orginal pen and ink drawing by Chelsea Rose)<br /><br />Or this one:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5332512460/" title="Bulb Goddess by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Bulb Goddess" height="240" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5167/5332512460_f70e13a486_m.jpg" width="196" /></a><br />(Bulb Goddess, orginal pen and ink drawing by Chelsea Rose)<br /><br />....which one do you think I should paint next?<br /><br />I am also in the process of releasing some new prints I had made of some of the photos from my The Goddess In All of Us series.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5525802064/" title="projects by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="projects" height="335" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5295/5525802064_e606e98ea8.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />In this photo you see the Goddess posters: size 13"x19" which I am selling for $20 each.<br /><br /><img height="332" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_570xN.226962267.jpg" style="WIDTH: 473px; HEIGHT: 301px" width="521" /><br />This shows the 8"x10" prints which I am selling for $15 each.<br />I am working on getting all of these new prints avilaible in <a href="http://www.lucidopticlab.etsy.com/"><strong>our etsy shop</strong></a> for purchase.

New Pen and Ink drawings

Hello all,<br /><br />I have been getting back into the habit of drawing and wanted to share with you these two new pen and ink illustrations I did this week:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5326437220/" title="Alien or Angel? by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Alien or Angel?" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5289/5326437220_0eef1bde4b.jpg" width="407" /></a><br />(original pen and ink drawing by Chelsea Rose)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5332512460/" title="Bulb Goddess by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Bulb Goddess" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5167/5332512460_f70e13a486.jpg" width="408" /></a><br />(original pen and ink drawing by Chelsea Rose)<br /><br />With the cold and darkness of winter it seems I have fallen into a bit if a routine involving a lot of time cuddled up on the couch with my cat, my man, my sketch book and movies. Although recently I have been watching not much else other then episodes of Doctor Quinn Medicine woman( I love that show! I am so glad i can get the episode discs from netflix), Full Metal Alchemist( such a strange story line!) and X files( of course.) Recently I have found that i feel a lot less guilty about sitting around on my rump so much if i happen to be doing some drawing at the same time. So yes, I am sure there will be more drawings soon enough.<br /><br />I was looking through some pictures files the other day and came across this photo:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5326437186/" title="window into summer2010 by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="window into summer2010" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5130/5326437186_86c66b2f69.jpg" width="335" /></a><br />This was taken during last summer. Right-now in winter with all this cold and dark it is strange to realize only a few months ago our lil patch of world was so much hotter and brighter. The weather report claims snow for Tuesday and Wednesday, we shall see about that.<br /><br />Anyhow, I cant even begin to tell you how thankful i am that its Friday.<br /><br />Do enjoy the weekend.<br /><br />Much love,<br />-Chelsea Rose

New drawings and a poem

I wanted to share:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4312388633/" title="She is Loopy by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="She is Loopy" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4039/4312388633_e15a8de317.jpg" width="364"></a><br />"Tentacle Skater"<br />Original pen and ink drawing<br />by Chelsea Rose<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4313148358/" title="Dread Goddess by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Dread Goddess" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4058/4313148358_fcf9b3536b.jpg" width="461"></a><br />"the Dread Goddess"<br />Original pen and ink drawing<br />by Chelsea Rose<br /><br />Both of these were drawn a few months ago. I happened to be flipping through my sketch book last night and realized i never scanned or posted these ones for some reason. I am pretty sure "the Dread Goddess" will end up my next big painting piece.<br /><br />.....and this morning i wrote this:<br /><br />Reflections I seek, holding a pen in the hallow sting of sun,<br />waiting for the assumption of truth to flow and scribe.<br />waiting for that revelation of inner creeping to speak in simple whispers<br />with all the tenacious infirmity that is needed for the dispelling of shadow and riddle.<br />With enveloping and erotic emergence the nimble stem work of my cellular forecast must collage a sense of things.<br />Even as these indefinite species of spirit haunt and flaunt as a billowing mass of mischievous proof<br />they toy and breed a sense of feathery benevolence, flirting with prescribed succulence in doses of clairsentience.<br />And these melting phantasms with eyes like flowering oracles depict a venomous antidote for the spoils of fear.<br />The cure and its incisors force the wind from the flesh till I am taken and pealed pink, fully frothing and frivolous in dreams.<br />These embryonic fabrics become the very ink, penned with infection as the loops of the collective dichotomy of truth revealed.<br />And so the substance of heaven, it drips wildly as the mind and its gestation is readily handed from glandular gate keepers to the swallowing scope of The Greatest .<br />And THEY know me, just as they shelter the humming mother of creation.<br />These eternal kernels of sprite, they laugh with weightless heroic and languish and solder anew with the ruminants of our ephemeral muscle and bone.<br />And so the master maker with magician hands enveloped in rippling forever holds a seed in each tendril,<br />barking with wild vocation the Immaterial into fires of liberation.<br />And so the frown is now held from upside down in callused consignment,<br />its foggy relevance protruding with agile sanctum, always embedding always replicating.<br />And in a single fracture, molten and quivering the tranquilly erodes down the galloping veins of this elusive majesty<br />Where we ourselves will always be strangers grown thick with the pregnant sap of chaos<br />As goading thoughtlessness is milked like honey, graduating with the sliver of the morning.<br />The lids of the guardian at the gate hold fast as these breaths reiterate an endless cycle worn thin with the supposing of definition.<br />And with the total sigh of serenity, a note of pure ritual confides in the husk of my brimming void,<br />transferring a node of intimacy that is both binding and static<br />The seat of the spirit is unity.<br /><br />-----<br /><br />Just felt like sharing.<br /><br />a lil somethin else i wanted to share: a <a href="http://www.baahar.net/?p=276">GIVE AWAY!</a> that is dedicated to sending some posative vibes and actions to Haiti. AND....you might win a super awesome hand made head/dread band. <br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend!<br />-Chelsea Rose<br /><a href="http://www.chelsearosearts.com/">ChelseaRoseArts.com</a>
