Cockatiel Painting Details
Mini Cockatiel Painting WIP
Everyone rejoice for I have PROGRESS PHOTOS!
Yes, it’s true. While painting my latest mini, I remembered to stop and take a few snaps. Please enjoy the process this little guy went through.
Detailed, finished pics to follow. 🙂
Mini Seascape Painting #3
Here we are with my third Seascape! This time we’ve got stormy skies and a calm lapping of the shore.
Sorry. No progress photos. Which, by now is getting downright embarrassing. I will do better next time. I promise!
As always, if you like what you see and would love to support me further, please check out my Etsy and Redbubble stores. 🙂 Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/AmandaActonArt?ref=seller-platform-mcnavRedbubble: AmandaActon.redbubble.com
Mini Seascape Painting #2
Introducing another Mini Seascape painting! As you can tell, I have again failed to take appropriate progress photos. Oops! But at least I have something. 😉 I really enjoyed the dynamic CRASH elements in this painting and I hope you do too.

Bristlenose Catfish Painting
Introducing Yellow, the Catfish in a ever so slightly cuter, acrylic painting form. Yellow was super fun to paint and I can’t help but adore her big round eyeball and mischievous expression.
The fins were also a fun moment in creation and I love the build up of layers that just make acrylic colours POP.

Mini Seascape Painting
Quick little update to show off this mini Seascape painting I did, and the reference photo used. Waves are a gloriously strange, see-through, roiling, reflections-going-in-every-direction, phenomenon and it makes for a fun mix of colours and effects.
I got really into the zone with this one and forgot to take progress photos, but sometimes painting is like that. I’ll do better next time. 😛
If you love looking at this little wave crash as much as I enjoyed painting it, you can find lots of fun print options up on Redbubble: redbubble.com/people/AmandaActon/shop

And here is the finished product! The Original is for sale on my Etsy Store and prints can be found on RedBubble.
Process: Self Love Spell Sketch
A little gallery of the process from initial sketches to finished. And yes… at some point I get super engrossed in the drawing and totally forget to take progress shots. >_< 😛
Poem: A Spell for Self-Love
Rose quartz and Daffodils, candles and self,
under the moonlight I gather my spell.
A bond once filled with emotional health
has been reduced to a torturous hell.
I hug myself. From my heart I thaw frost
(and cradle the broken pieces with care)
Rewrite history to salvage the lost
and capture my love in a well laid snare.
Oh Goddess I lay bare my intentions,
I assure you they are nothing but pure
I’d appreciate your interventions,
To help me stop feeling so insecure.
Undo the heartache, painful and tragic,
Renew self-love with this act of magic.
