I made a new front cover. It is for a sci fi book that is going to be published soon. I felt that it was a good a time as any to make the front cover. I went for a nice Sci Fi look. I wanted to show that the protagonist was a cyborg. I could say more. I want to wait for the book to get published before saying more. For now, just enjoy the front cover of this book. My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.

I went with Catula with my family. My mother had gone to this restaurant ages ago with a work friend. She was curious to see how the restaurant had changed after the pandemic. The place has a lot of cool statues and artworks to see. They come with price tags. So, if you are itching to buy art, this is something to consider. I didn’t come for the art. I came for the food. The bread basket was delicious. It was truly the highlight of the experience. We ordered three appetizers. The portions are small, and they are worth 10...

I made new pouring art. I painted it on a wooden panel. I hope you find it amusing. The first painting I used a mold to make the colors.

I think this is about it as far as my new art is concerned. I...

Today, I wanted to review some cute paintings by Leon Comerre. Comerre was the son of a school teacher.  He was interested in art since he was a small boy. He got his big break when he submitted his art to the Paris Salon. I think that is everything worth mentioning about this painter. Now, I will review his artwork. The first painting shows a beautiful "Egyptian beauty". She is part of some of Comerre's orientalist paintings. Orientalist is a type of style that focuses on the orient. In any case, the girl is resting in her bedroom. The decorations...

acrylic, painting, pouring -

These are the new pouring arts of the day. I photographed two painting details. The ones you see are the wet versions of the paintings. The artworks always look extra nice in their wet forms. I always paint the sides of the wooden canvas. It just saves me a lot of trouble in the ending. It is such a paint to try to get at the edges. I lose a lot of paint trying to make it to the edge.  I am frugal like that. The first painting was done by putting the colors in the middle. I swiped outward...
