At the start of last week I was severely lacking in inspiration, so I decided to theme my paintings for the week.
Ever since I painted the circusy girl that is now in my blog banner and avatar, I have wanted to do something else circusy, so I ran with it and now there are 6 circusy/carnival themed ladies ;o)
All these ladies are now available in my etsy shop.
This harlequin girl is my favourite of the week, I love everything about this one :o)
Fragile Heart: SOLD THANK YOU!!
I decided to paint a tattooed lady but I wanted her to have a more 'modern' look about her if that makes any sense?
Decorated Beauty: SOLD THANK YOU!!
This juggling lady was a lot of fun to paint, she is really cheeky looking :o)
Remember to play:
This showgirl lady took ages to paint, so many layers and changes of body shapes etc but I love the finished piece, she is another one on the super expensive cradled wood panel, such a joy to paint on though :o)
The show must go on: SOLD THANK YOU!!
A fun little lion tamer girly on an aceo card, I think I had a 'Lion king' song stuck in my head when I was painting this one ;o)
Pride: SOLD THANK YOU!!
Last but not least is my Clown girl, As a young child (and into adulthood) I had a huge fear of clowns, (brought on by my parents taking me to a clown convention with thousands of them there, scared the crap out of me for a long long time)
I managed to stop my fears by doing research on clowns and how they live their lives, why they do what they do etc, it made me feel differently towards them, I still don't love them but i'm not scared anymore :o)
Childhood Memories : SOLD THANK YOU!!
Thank you for coming, the show is over for this week folks ;o)
See you again soon

Wow, you did some excellent job! They are all special and different, every one has a story! So lovely! I love the last one - clown girl because she is not what I expected to be, I love when imagination takes place :)))) Hugs! Dominika
ReplyDeleteOh Micki! These are so lush, so deep and colorful!! That scratched background in the Tattooed Girl's painting is just great!
ReplyDeleteSo easy to love them all...though, I agree the Harlequin drew my eye first :)
Gorgeous, gorgeous!!
your tattooed lady is my favourite - although i must say it’s hard to pick just one... i mean the clown girl is a bit fabulous too. and the fragile heart too... oh i love them all:)

ReplyDeleteDarn it, I missed out on your tattoo lady! All your paintings are amazing Micky! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYUMMY! I love them all....again! I know I say the same thing over and over and OVER again, but I'm serious! I'm going to win the lottery one day and I'm shipping your talented little self over here and we'll have a big painting party ok???? :) Would love to spend time painting with you!
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but fragile heart and the show must go on are my favorites!! You're paintings just get better and better! Although I still treasure my postcards I got once upon a time ;o) xo Michele
ReplyDeleteOh Geez! I love them all! I think my favorite is the tattooed girly! They remind me of the HBO series on TV called Carnivale. It was really eerie. I watched all the episodes over the summer.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work, as usual Micki. My favs this week are 'The show must go on' and 'childhood memories'. I can't decide between the two. Thanks for sharing. :D
ReplyDeleteHi Micki, this is my first visit to your blog and I'm enjoying every moment! I love your use of colour and your faces are so filled with emotion, lovely!xx
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Such lovely paintings! Love Fragile Heart and Decorated Beauty! Your colors are so wonderfully combined!
ReplyDeleteMicki you are so prolific! (Having just typed that I think maybe I've said it before...) I love that you produced all these from a theme and they are all so individual.x
ReplyDeleteMicki, You just ooze talent my dear! These girlies are wonderful! The harlequin - Fragile Heart is my fav too!
ReplyDeleteJessi xox
These are so funky and different. I love them all!
ReplyDeleteMicki - what wonderful work... and oh so productive! I tried to pick a favourite.... but I couldn't. I love them all!
ReplyDeleteHi Micki, I love your art. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLove them all. Very unique and fun.
ReplyDeleteyou seem to get better and better and i love the painting decorated beauty i first saw it on flicker and was wow !!! but now i see i have a new all time favourite ...The Show must go on, so much in her expression, its captivating
ReplyDeleteThese are GREAT! I wouldn't know which one I like best
ReplyDeleteWow!! I really love the first two!! Oh, and I really like "the show must go on" too. These all have such depth and beauty. I can't believe your parents took you to a clown convention! I think that would scare anyone.. yikes!! But I like that you researched them... brilliant. It's easier to be scared of something you don't understand.
