"moonlight mavens"
11x14 acrylic on canvas |
to one year ago yesterday...and this painting, "
moonlight mavens".
hard to believe this piece (and the newly designed
website, by me) are exactly one year old! how do i know this? it was website renewal fee day yesterday (
squarespace is awesome, by the way)....and, i have a memory like an elephant. ;)
here's the
story behind this painting as well as a bit more about
me (in case you didn't already know)...
{and, just because it's throwback thursday, well i thought i'd share a picture of a very small Nicole with lots of dreams behind those big brown eyes of being the bestest children's artist she could be! :)}

the new *face* of the enchanted easel!
and...wait for it, wait for it....the new website is done too! I'm a girl on a mission! :)
so, now the back story for this painting (because isn't there always one.)...
well, i knew i wanted something different...something to represent the new style i seem to have evolved into with the start of 2014. i also knew i didn't want an easel in the image, knowing of course that this would be the new front page of the website.
so...i had to include my stuffed elephant, maggie into the design because she is my partner is creative crime, after all. couple that with the fact that i am an insomniac and do my best work after midnight (don't all of us artists?!) and the fact that i'm obsessed with chris martin and the coldplay song "yellow" ("look at the stars, look how they shine for you....i drew a line, i drew a line for you and all the things you do, and it was all yellow") well, there it is.
a little coldplay, a little insomnia, a little nicole and a little maggie, of course...and so "moonlight mavens" was born. from my head to the sketchbook to the finished painting.

and because this song was such an inspiration to me....
it just doesn't get any better than this...or him.

a peek at "moonlight mavens"
©the enchanted easel 2014 |
just a glimpse at the new *face* of the enchanted easel. this business is my proverbial *baby*. I've built it all by myself and have done most of the legwork after not one, not two, but THREE cervical spine surgeries in the last four years. 'cause that's just how i roll. ;)
I've had the painting done for over a week but i'm doing my best to re-build a new website hosted by squarespace...which, by the way, i HIGHLY recommend. i didn't think such wonderful and cooperative corporations existed anymore. they are fantastic. it's just a matter of getting acquainted with the new site and how it works as well as adding watermarks and shrinking images for the web....mundane stuff like that. let's just say, i would rather be painting. but then again, what else is new?!
hoping to be done by the end of this coming week. if not sooner....*fingers crossed on that one* ;)

on the easel this week.
speaking of...i thought i'd be kind enough to include Coldplay's A Sky Full Of Stars video below....just because i'm nice like that. ;)
and while i'm on the subject of my beloved Chris Martin, my FAVORITE Coldplay song turned 14 yesterday (gosh, i really feel old right now....). best. song. ever.
{i know, i'm a little obsessed. but....it inspires paintings....like the i'm currently working on. :)}

I had a lot of deadlines lately, so I haven't been able to show many sketches of late. I'm also busy writing, which doesn't make for pretty pictures either. Sorry :) Here's my little dog friend as a consolation prize.
To recover my mojo, I signed up for an online painting class by Mati Rose McDonough. It's been so fun and the perfect excuse to just play. Here's one of the paintings I've been working on this week.

kiiro kokeshi
©the enchanted easel 2014 |
ok, so guess what color Kiiro is in japanese...? (hint-it's the name of a very popular Coldplay song...and my favorite Coldplay song).
if you guessed YELLOW you are correct! ;)
Kiiro is the third kokeshi in my series of four.
PRINTS AVAILABLE HERE:
Midori and Akai are also available in my etsy shop, found here:
up next, Aoi...

Another exercise from my excellent e-course, The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design, that I struggled to complete. The class is really challenging me which I consider absolutely brilliant even if I don't live up to my own expectations. But I'm certainly learning tons.
Remember my Playful Geometrics Giftwrap Collection from a couple of posts ago? Well, not only have I created a mockup presentation for it, but added gift tags and a square greeting card. Of course, this is when my printer decided to play up and print out the most dreadful smudges ... I finally found a way to work around that ... but I now have to learn more about gift-wrapping as, honestly, I've just hidden all the dreadful mistakes I've made! I'm not going to go anywhere near mentioning my lack of photographic skills. All now on my lengthy to do list.
Anyway, here are the results:
Here's the mockup page for the Gift Tags:
And here's the one for the Greeting Card:
Phew. I'm exhausted! Taking a tea break before getting back to work on my next piece. Cheers!

Wonderfully whimsical and adorable as always!
I’ll have a look tomorrow at the golden trees near my home, for maybe some shys hide there and are afraid that the leaves may fall down very soon!:)
These lovely characters are such a nice surprise – as always!:)
Actually, I think there are some shys there, not many, but maybe you’ll be able to see a couple hiding beneath the golden tree leaves
xx
I’ll take my camera…:)
Oooooh, how utterly delightful! I could sure use a yellow tree. I think I have a whole colony of little shys. They tickle my belly like butterflies.
