Works in Progress- Amy Crehore, June 2016



Forgive the lack of blog posts, but I have been quite busy.
I recently finished painting an illustration for boingboing.net 
(which I will show you when the time is right) 
and I am currently working on this piece of bathers (progress shown above) 
for one of two group shows in Sept. (Chicago and L.A.). 
Watch this blog for more details soon!
Also, here's the beginning of a 
commission for a very special collector (girl and monkey):


Online shop with special items and originals coming soon.

Biscuit Paintings by Giorgio De Chirico




 How many "Metaphysical Interiors with Biscuits" did Italian artist 
Giorgio de Chirico do, I wonder? The top image was painted in 1916. 
He is one of my favorite painters and these biscuit paintings 
are fabulous.

Framed and Shipped to L.A. Collectors

 This week I'm framing and shipping a few "sold" works to 
3 notable Los Angeles collectors.
The frames that I chose for all of them are beautiful solid wood, made in Italy.
(see photos above and below)
 Below: Catalog for the "ephemeral" show at Jiro Miura Gallery in Tokyo, Japan 
opened to a painting of mine called "The Waiting Room" which sold during the show in Japan 
(also to a collector living in Los Angeles).

A Victorian Christmas to Die For

Here's a great link for Victorian Christmas cards  -
"Frog Murder and Boiled Children" at bbc.com 

 I've been looking at Victorian illustration for a very long time. 
You can probably see some influence in my work.
I am working on a commission right now that is 
not too far off the mark. But, I really hadn't been thinking about it 
until I saw the bbc.com link this morning.
Here is the work in progress currently on my easel:

And here is my decorated tree this year (2015):
Wishing you a wonderful holiday!

I am making a resolution to blog a bit more in 2016. 
I had tens of thousands of readers before they abandoned google reader 
and google blog search.
Blogger also made it harder to upload photos without using google chrome.
But, I am going to try again, because I have never abandoned my readers and fans.
And, although I am also on social networks, some of you are not.

HAPPY NEW YEAR from LITTLE HOKUM RAG!
