It’s been a strange summer so far. This is reflected in my trippy new paintings below:

Midnight Gospel Clancy in Wonderland original painting features a trippy tie-dye inspired rainbow spiral watercolor background.
Our band, The Loverfaces, recorded quite a few songs in June. Here’s a few fan favorites:
I’ll admit this is not my best singing ( my nose is like 90 percent blocked because I have a cold) but my chickens and the weather were cooperating and I’m practically glowing.
I’ve always loved True Affection by the Blow. This is my cover on Ukulele. My pet chickens are clucking in their tunnel and seem to enjoy the music.
Yesterday I went on a creativity rampage and added dozens of new adorable notebooks, mugs, tote bags and more functional art gifts to my art shop.

blue graffiti style chicken prints and more
I added even more cute artsy gifts today as well.
People love to watch me painting at live events (my painting is typically corporate event entertainment in Asheville) so I thought it would be fun to film my pet portrait painting process…as a speed painting.
This pet portrait is of Minnie, my parents’ mini pincher dog. Not shown is me priming the wood beforehand and sealing the finished painting after it dries…and of course the decades I’ve spent practicing my art 🙂

I also painted a miniature watercolor of an orchid, below. In the above photo you can see the sign I created for The Loverfaces. I don’t fancy myself a watercolor illustrator, more of a wildlife artist who LOVES to paint animals (when I’m not painting on people) but I have fun dabbling. I primarily work with acrylic paints and paint that is meant for skin.

This weekend we got to see our friends (the quarantine “rules” have been lifted somewhat here in Asheville)…and their adorable pets. Here I am reunited with Iago, my favorite cat friend.
Very unflattering photo of me but the look on Iago’s face is worth it
Last year Chad and I wrote a song called Fly with Me. Last night we (The Loverfaces) performed the song (and many others) for a home concert via Facebook.
This is the wooden sign I painted for our concert:

And Chad drew this picture to go with our song:

Normally there would be an adorable dog or two jumping on us but since we are quarantined, we are on a forced break from pet sitting. I miss my dog friends so much!
In the meantime, I have been singing to my pet chickens…
Of course I painted their portraits too:
