in art, design, life and what's goin on.
For a while now I have been thinking of separating the wedding album design aspect of my business from the art and design. As of now Leoa Design Studio will only encompass art and design. Elioso Design will be the name of my album design company and my plans are to add a separate blog for this and transfer everything album design related over to that. I am also (still) in the process of creating my websites. Things just seem to take alot longer than I think they will around here. Between actually doing work for clients, painting, raising baby and sometimes sleeping getting my website finished is usually last on the list. It also doesn’t help that I have taken it all on my own - designing and learning dreamweaver as I go along.
In other art related news - I am just about finished with six new paintings that I am very excited about. I can’t wait to show them. I think that I won’t be offering the originals for purchase because I intend to find a gallery at some point to show them. However, I will be offering prints in my etsy shop. Stay tuned!

Since I’ve gotten so much positive feedback on the photographs I listed recently, I’ve decided to offer a few in my shop. Starting with this one. I happen to have the most adorable paper ever laying around my studio and I think that it makes the photos look amazing! It’s Hahnemuhle Photo Rag that has rounded corners! I just couldn’t help myself when I saw it! I didn’t know what I would be using it for - but this seems like a perfect fit!

I am by no means a photographer. But I do enjoy the use of a camera from time to time. Occasionally, I like what I see…

and just a side note: i tend to be more interested in color and composition than anything technical when it comes to taking photographs. suppose it’s the painter in me….

Somedays it feels like everything and everyone is against you. Other days it feels like the universe is in complete alliance with you. Today is one of the later mentioned days.
First, I finally had a much needed sale in my esty shop this morning! Second, through my blog stat counter I found out that I was featured on this blog by artist Jessica Gonacha. She had some really nice things to say about my art and honestly to read such kind words from a peer is one of the best compliments. It also doesn’t hurt that I think she’s got some pretty great stuff as well, check out her etsy shop.

I always seem to feel a little overwhelmed with all of the ideas and projects I have going on. Just the same, I am adding a new section to my etsy store in the next week or so. Limited edition greeting cards. They will be printed in my studio and left blank inside.

Some parts of the website are up. Mostly the wedding album design section, contact (which has been up for a while), and shop section. I am still working on that and the rest. I will also be putting up a portfolio page where you can view more of my fine art/design work. As much as I wanted this website to be bigger and prettier, this will just have to do for now. I have far to many lists and ideas in my head - sometimes I just have to step back and think about what’s most important. Currently, that happens to be broken legged babies and making art!

This is a snippet of a painting that I’m working on. Not finished yet. The whole piece is roughly 20 x 25 in. but this is only the far right corner. I really like where it’s going and thought I’d share since I’ve been a bad blogger recently. I do have a good excuse though - my 15 month old son broke his leg. So I haven’t had much time to spend on things that aren’t a necessity.
