Emotions/Feelings Series (featured artist Stephanie Ledoux)

Its been awhile since I have posted anything. I recently moved but I still found the time to do some art. I am working on a series right now about emotions. The medium is watercolor and I've always considered myself more of an acrylic painter. I am slowly getting the hang of it. The pieces don't really have much technique, but I think they are cute. I created at least 1 for each letter of the alphabet. Unfortunately not all of them are finished, here are the ones that are:


mental associations and reactions to emotions, and are subjective. For example being influenced by personal experience, beliefs, and memories. A feeling is the mental portrayal of what is going on in your body .
-Debbie Hampton

Emotions are lower level responses occurring in the subcortical regions of the brain. they alter your physical state. Emotional reactions are coded in our genes.
-Debbie Hampton

Stephanie Ledoux travels the world sharing her talent with the people she meets. The way she portrays the people  she comes in contact with on paper is brilliant. Many artist can draw a person and have it look like them. Stephanie Ledoux not only draws her subject realistically, but captures their soul. When I look at her drawings of the people and places she has seen I feel as though I am actually meeting them or experience the place for myself. I don't know of many artists who can do this. I look forward to her posting new pieces on her blog.
