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

Long weekend filled with artly goodness

I am feeling much refreshed after the 3 day weekend.<br />On Saturday <a href="http://www.dannyebruarts.blogspot.com/">Danny Ebru</a> and I did great selling our artwork down at <a href="http://www.portlandsaturdaymarket.com">the Portland Saturday Market</a>.<br />On Sunday I concentrated on adding a bit more color ideas to my current acrylic painting in the works. Here is a snapshot of my progress so far:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/6118552206/" title="my art corner by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="my art corner" height="335" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6210/6118552206_017404e08a.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />Im still working out the colors and patterns of her dress. A portion of the original dress pattern that I marked out wasn't pleasing me so I whited out what I had and plan to start on it again soon.<br /><br />In addition to my painting project I also went outside into the field in front of our home and spent a half hour picking black berries from which I made a pie. I used a gluten/wheat free flour and honey instead of sugar and I am happy to report it turned out rather yummly indeed. Oh and baked some cornbread too!<br /><br />On Monday I slept in a bit, did some work around the home and then Danny and I settled back into our art studio and continued to work on our projects:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidopticlab/6120317291/" title="Three Day Weekend by Lucid Optic Lab, on Flickr"><img alt="Three Day Weekend" height="500" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6192/6120317291_c5d01fb2fa.jpg" width="335" /></a><br />Danny was working on hand painting a silkscreen of a six armed sri shiva...cant wait to see what comes of it!<br /><br />More artly goodness coming soon.<br /><br />Love and Light,<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.

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.

Dark Arts craft fair at The Lovecraft Bar

Good day!<br />Well, in all actuality its a dreary day over here in Portland Oregon complete with hard rain and fast wind. However we did get a break from that mess on Saturday. The sunshine was out full force for what felt like the 1st time this year. It made for a fun and successful day selling my art at the <a href="http://portlandsaturdaymarket.com/"><strong>Portland Saturday Market</strong></a>.<br /><br />On Sunday I tried something new. I set up a lil booth inside a local bar and tea house called <a href="http://www.thelovecraftbar.com/"><strong>The Lovecraft bar</strong></a>( yes! its themed after the famous scifi/horror writer HP Lovecraft!) and sold my work at their monthly "dark arts" craft fair.<br />A photo from the expeirnce:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5651965895/" title="Dark Arts craft fair at The Lovecraft bar by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="Dark Arts craft fair at The Lovecraft bar" height="419" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5185/5651965895_3865e28df8.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />(sorry for the photo quality. It was quite dark inside and we didnt have our tripod.)<br />....I had a blessed time! It was back to raining outside on Sunday so i was very happy to be tucked nicley indoors selling my work, with a nice big pot of tea at hand and plenty of other intersting local artists to meet and chat with. What was really engouraing is i sold very well! I had my best art vending day of the year thus far inside the bar. I really felt like the poeple who were walking in the door were my target audicence, and thus we were a good match for eachother :) I cant wait to do the event again!<br />...and of course, since i will take almost any opperunity to dress up a lil...this is what i wore for the "dark arts" craft fair:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucidrose/5652533662/" title="What I wore today by lucidRose, on Flickr"><img alt="What I wore today" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5226/5652533662_dab50daec2.jpg" width="335" /></a><br />You cant really tell in this photo but this lace dress is actually two shades of dark green. I found the dress a year ago at the Goodwill bins and bought it for less then a buck! Under the dress i am wearing a striped skirt that was gifted to me. On my head i wear my favoerite hat, which i bought at a renissance fair in California a few years back.<br /><br />In other news...<br />I am excited to now be offering 8"x 10" art prints of my most recent acrylic painting:<br /><img height="615" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_570xN.238867421.jpg" style="WIDTH: 360px; HEIGHT: 481px" width="420" /><br />"Mistress and the Orb" originla acrylic painting.<br />Get your 8"x10" Giclee art print of her for $15 <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/72850997/mistress-and-the-orb-8x10-giclee-art"><strong>here</strong></a>.<br /><strong>Speical offer for my blog followers: If you type "blog friend" in the notes field of your order I will add a surprise art piece inside the package for you!</strong><br /><br />How was your weekend?<br />Much love and light,<br />-Chelsea Rose

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.
