" Windblown" By Erica Voges

This is very whimsical and not my usual style. It is available in my etsy store http://acrylicandsteel.etsy.com for only $35 ( which is a great deal for origional art!)

I also had a surprise operation yesterday. If you would like to read about it please visit my primary blog, www.acrylicandsteel.blogspot.com

I am doing well, but I am sore and tired. Hope everyone else is well!

Accessorize by Erica Voges

This pretty little bird reminds me of my trip to Michigan a few years ago. I was pregnant with my daughter autumn and it was FREEZING. It was cold and gray for most of the visit, but it was a lot of fun. I also was fortunate enough to see several cardinals out the back window of my in-laws house. They were beautiful.

ACEO preview

"hi! I'm Erica Voges(Ringia) and I paint, make stuff, play roller derby, and take care of my new baby. Just thought I would put a face to the art :) "


A few days ago I started some ACEOs. I will be listing them in my store over the next several days and giving you all closer looks at them as well...


I may even decide to do a giveaway, my first one ever :)

But I thought you may want to preview the finished pieces.

***PS if you want a SUPER close-up of the aceo's click on the pictures :)

All work and no Painting...

I have been spending MOST of my time working, taking care of my pretty baby girl, trying to figure out how to be the new travel team captain with KillerQueen, making arm warmers and making a muslin mock up of the wedding dress that I am making.

I really love doing all of these things but if I don't get some painting in from time to time I am NOT a happy camper, so I treated myself to some aceo-making this am.

"Lip Service" Acrylic Painting by EricaVoges

"Not a Morning Person" by Erica Voges

I am having another of many mornings where I just can't seem to wake up and this painting seems like a good one to represent that.

It's so Nice...I want to color the same picture twice.

I
Ink Drawing...


Blue Octopus print

Purple Octopus

These are available as prints in my etsy store for $12.50 each. You may notice that they are VERY similar. The way I made these prints was by doning the origional drawing and printing copy's out on marker paper. Then I colored them. I really like how they turned out. (the prints are NOT done on my home printer.)

I also did this heart, becuase I was not sure If I wanted it left black and white or if I wanted to color it.


I am wanting to make appliques with Iron on transfers out of this, and put them on arm warmers, shirts and things.

"Artists Block" by Erica Voges

When I started this painting I had NO idea what to paint, as the title suggests, but I made myself sit down to the canvas without a plan, and this is the result. It has been a favorite of many ever since.

"Moonlight Tryst" by Erica Voges

This painting is a great deal because it is on flat canvas. You can check it out in my etsy store!

"Blackbird?" By Erica Voges

This is on display right now at a Duke City Derby fundraiser show.
