Posted on November 22, 2012December 26, 2012 by F.Magdalene

Juliette in Cream is an handmade light skinned doll with extra long black hair. Her features are hand painted. Her hair has been hand sewn in and her dress has been hand sewn. She is made of 90% recycled materials including her soft plush insides, her shoes and the extra soft, textured yarn hair.

Juliette is about 11 inches tall. She’s wearing a cream colored dress with pink hand painted trim. Her little shoes are gold, her white socks have gold fabric glue trim. On her little cream dress is a lace doily collar with a tiny pink bow. Holding the lace doily collar in place is a tiny little button.

Juliette’s hair is extra long so that you can pull it to the side, pull it up or leave it down as you wish.

Cocoon – Series Paintings

Posted on November 11, 2012October 30, 2017 by F.Magdalene

Iâ€™ve delayed in posting these pieces because I wasnâ€™t sure how to explain them. I wasnâ€™t sure what to say or if I should say anything at all but I believe Iâ€™ve finally found the right mix of words to explain the series of paintings called Cocoon.

First, a little background information: I have Lupus and the symbol for Lupus is the butterfly. Where thereâ€™s a butterfly there was once a cocoon. The series focuses on inside the cocoon. The color of the support ribbon for Lupus is purple which is why there are shades of purple here and there in the paintings. Lets move ahead. Truthfully, I’m scared to death about my health. It is this fear which has motivated the series of paintings. Continue reading “Cocoon – Series Paintings”

Marabelle Black Americana Handmade Art Doll

Posted on October 28, 2012February 11, 2013 by F.Magdalene

“Marabella the Lovely One” is quiet and shy. She spends her mornings picking wild flowers and sitting under shade trees watching the birds. She sits tall and perfect in her little red checked dress with buttons and cream colored bloomers. She’s got rag ribbons in her black hair which can be worn very short or extended in areas for a more shaggy yet adorable look. Her shoes are black with white laces created with fabric paint. Her eyes are full of feeling, wide and open as she takes in all the beauty around her.

DollÂ stats: 18 inches, hand made, hand painted features, solid black skin with blue eye shadow and long eye lashes. Her features have been hand painted, her hair was sewn in strand by strand. Marabelle is proud to be made of 90% recycled materials. A small signature appears on her bum with the number 33. Marabella is doll number 33 in the Charlene Doll Collection.

Artist Thoughts: Let go and let art

Posted on October 28, 2012October 28, 2012 by F.Magdalene

I’m finding more and more that I like abstract paintings. I visit galleries online to see how they’re doing it, how they’re setting themselves free to do their abstract work. I call abstract freedom because when I look at them its almost as if theÂ artistÂ said, forget all that is tangible, all that can be explained away and let me put on canvas my very soul.

Lucid

Posted on October 5, 2012 by F.Magdalene

Sometimes a girl has to go Avante Garde and that’s exactly what I did with this piece.

This painting called Lucid was created by using wet acrylics allowed to flow into each other to create a surreal, colorful yet shadowy, mysterious atmosphere. The blue face is part of the sky line and everything flows from her. From her head rises white clouds that crack and become mist that surrounds a shadowy black figure which is also her hair. The clouds flow over him, around and above him to form a bare white tree. The white tree and the shadowy figure stand on the a mix of yellow, green and blue earthly shoulders.

Lucid is a small painting at 4 inches by 4 inches. It was painted on textured card stock. Continue reading “Lucid”

Artist’s Thoughts

Posted on September 14, 2012 by F.Magdalene

What I thought I might do on this blog is from time to time toss up an entry under “Artist’s Thoughts.” I’ll do short entries about what goes through my mind when I’m painting, when I’m not painting and all sorts of things that I think in relation to art. The entries will be simple and to the point. I hope people will feel free to comment and throw in their two cents worth.
Here’s the first one.

Sometimes there’s no motivation to paint a specific subject matter, and I don’t seem to get myself over to links that offer inspiration. What I end up doing is coming up with simple ways on my own ofÂ ‘get my paint on’.

Let the River Wash Over Me

Posted on August 26, 2012September 2, 2012 by F.Magdalene

This is an original painting in acrylic and ink on reclaimed canvas. The painting shows a female face at the edge of the canvas. She’s holding her breath under a sea of color. Her hair is red and yellow flames of fire that never extinguish. Even though black and turquoise water rush over her, she will resurface.
