"Phoenix in Flight" by Leanore

I painted this Artwork using in Photoshop CS3 in 2017. It started as an exercise in restricted color palettes and ended up being one of my most popular pieces to date. I started this painting by using a random color generator to get a palette of 5 colors. I used a lot of color theory but managed to only use the colors I had available, and any that I could create by blending them together, to make this artwork. The subject was what came to mind when I got a good look at the palette. I didn't want to paint a Phoenix at it's death or rebirth stage, because that seemed overdone, so I went with the concept of what it just looks like living it's live. You can watch me paint this painting in a speedpaint video available on Youtube.

This artwork is featured in my First Art book, available for purchase in the shop!

I have a 3 part "Let's Make an Art" mini-series in the editing phase... Which is great... other than the fact that it means I have to re-watch 2+ hours of myself talking and drawing in order to edit it down into 3 coherent chunks of watchable content with even a mild entertainment value. I posted a Behind the Scenes Exclusive to my Ko-Fi supporters. It's neat. Anyway, that's all for this little bloggy woggy. I dunno why I typed that. No, I'm not procrastinating on editing... why would you...

I've Been Thinking... is that ever good?

I have no shortage of places that I could post my nonsense. What I do seem to have a shortage of, is attention span. I often forget to post to, write on, or update things. However, I've recently been getting much better at that sort of thing. Maybe it's an improvement in overall mental health. Whatever it is, I'm not complaining. That's what brings us here, now. I keep forgetting that my website is more than just a shop for me to sell prints in or a portfolio to post my art to. It's a whole...
