The Sea Witch painting, my treasure map and another body painting photo

This week went by oddly fast.<br />I did manage to finish the painting i have been working for over two weeks now:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4407953070/" title="Sea Witch by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Sea Witch" height="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2797/4407953070_bdaa1cf043.jpg" width="375" /></a><br />18"x24"<br />original acrylic painting by Chelsea Rose<br />this image is a bit dark( im not the best color corrector. thats danny's expertise) but i wanted to share. A better quality photograph will be produced soon :)<br />but ya get the idea yea?<br />I then ended up reforming some of her arm tentacle to be more round and fluid vs angled. I also repainted the third eye to look more animal/reptile/cat-like. I added delicate tendrils to the background steming from her head dress. went over everything with more color and highlights. and then I was done. I finished it last night and took photos so i could share today on my blog.<br /><br />Now to start on a new painting this weekend!<br /><br />By the way. this painting was actually inspired by a lil mini canvas drawing i have listed in my etsy <a href="http://www.lucidopticlab.etsy.com/"><strong>shop</strong></a> right now. here she is, the original sea witch:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/3108696388/" title="Queen of the Deep by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Queen of the Deep" height="500" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3120/3108696388_02ca45f6c2.jpg" width="404" /></a><br />Sea Witch<br />4"x5"<br />original acrylic + pen and ink painting on canvas board<br />by Chelsea Rose<br />selling for $15<br />( comes with its own mini easel )<br />to view the listing or to buy click <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38487528"><strong>HERE</strong></a><strong><br /></strong>so check out the <a href="http://www.lucidopticlab.etsy.com/"><strong>shop</strong></a> for more of my original mini canvas pen and ink paintings!<br /><br />I also wanted to share with you my "Treasure Map":<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4407225045/" title="treasure map by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="treasure map" height="500" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2715/4407225045_15f93491a6.jpg" width="451" /></a><br />i went to a wisdom circle at T.Ruth Art space(Portland Oregon) last weekend...<br />this time we were led through a "self realization and actualization" meditation that involved forming a goal or want in your mind...and then creating what they called a "treasure map" where you piece together with magazine clippings... what you want to manifest in your life.<br />it was fun. i hung mine in my lil home art studio area on what i call my "inspiration wall"<br />I think this is a great exercise for those who are wanting to exercise their personal power of manifestation. Its a fun project that can be done at home while listening to music or watching a good movie or it could be done in a group setting. But as the wise woman, leader of this exercise had warned us all- be careful what you put on your treasure map because these things tend to eventually end up shaping themselves into our lives!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4405142059/" title="tea time by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="tea time" height="500" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4044/4405142059_d291e0a006.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />I took this picture of myself a couple days ago. I had the apartment to myself, was sipping tea and enjoying the feel of the sun coming through the window.<br />In this photo i am wearing a new choker that i got off of etsy from a really wonderful shop called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/KMKostumes"><strong>KMKostumes/KMKDesigns</strong></a><br />here is a close up of the choker:<br /><img src="http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_430xN.118344204.jpg" /><br />I love it!<br />We ended up trading for it. I got the choker and she got a print of my "Poetess" drawing : )<br />I love bartering!!<br />Be sure to check out her shop...its full of all sorts of lovely costume including hand sewn corset dresses, adorable bloomers, petticoats, bows and more!<br />...looking at her shop makes me want to play dress up.<br /><br />So thats it for now!<br />I will leave you with a picture of a quiet weekend moment:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/4374103797/" title="this morning by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="this morning" height="235" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4072/4374103797_88fc472eb8.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />making breakfast in the morning before rushing around portland.<br /><br />Much love to all, thanks for all the support!<br />-Chelsea Rose
