+o+ Seven Beauties +o+
"Seven Beauties"
Acrylic Paint On Canvas
18" x 18"
October 2012
$300.00 CAD
PRINT
$20.00
I absolutely love my new piece "Seven Beauties" which is made up of a pattern that contains seven beautiful women intricately woven together. My inspiration for this piece began when my sister gave me a book about the artist M.C. Escher. He was famous for his intricate pattern work and prints. I was completely blown away as I looked through the book and knew that I would be inspired by his style in multiple artworks to come. This piece in particular is inspired by M.C. Escher's piece "Eight Heads" which is shown below. I hope you love "Seven Beauties" as much as I do and feel inspired to share it with your friends.

I am very excited to have been accepted into the EHP Christmas Arts & Crafts Show. While exhibiting my work at The Sunnyside Beach Show I was approached by a lovely woman who had spent some time in my tent. She gave me an application for the EHP show and said that she felt I would do very well there. I felt very honoured to have been singled out amongst the hundreds of other artists at the show and was excited at the potential of showing my work again. I quickly applied and soon received word that I had been accepted! I am hoping that with the holiday season approaching I may be able to make some sales.
At this show I will be selling ...
1) Original Artwork (old and new pieces)
6) Note Cards
7) Post Cards
8) Bookmarks
Your HELP is needed! In order to make this event profitable I need to spread the word. Please help me by sharing this blog post with as many people as you possibly can!
Thank you all for your continued support and I hope to see you at the show!

Right Piece
I am so happy to share with you my new series "Courtship Of The Waved Albatross" which was created as a gift for my amazing mother, Jennifer Prud'homme. I used my own photography of the adorable waved albatross' that I had taken while volunteering in Ecuador in 2008. Ecuador, like the waved albatross, is absolutely stunning and the culture is very warm and inviting. I was sad to leave but excited to share my photos with my nature loving parents. The adorable albatross couple doing their mating dance and kissing was one of the most memorable moments of the trip. The scene will look amazing in my parents home which is already filled with birds since my father, Gilles Prud'homme, is an established master carver. I hope my loving mother feels a sense of peace and warmth when looking at these beautiful birds and I hope you do too. :)

Alexandra & Bogdan -_- Commissioned Portraits
While showing my work at the Sunnyside Beach Juried Art Show & Sale I was fortunate to acquire a two portrait commission from a patron named Bogdan Labecki. The proudly Polish man requested a portrait of his daughter, Alexandra, and of himself. He really enjoyed my other works on bamboo board and thought it was a unique idea. Thus these two portraits were created. I think they turned out beautifully and I hope that Mr. Labecki enjoys them as well.
For information on commissioning a portrait or piece of original art please contact me at Info@MalindaPrudhomme.com.
Please continue for more photos including the finished portraits side by side with the reference photos. :)

Lalique's Dragonfly ~ A Birthday Gift For My Sister
"Lalique's Dragonfly"
Oil Paint on Bamboo Board
6.7" x 12.7"
October 2012
PRINT
$20.00 CAD
Though I have finished many new art pieces previous to this one and have yet to share them with you, I thought I would start with my newest piece as it was specially made for my beautiful/unique/awesome little sister's 24th birthday present. I chose to do my own representation of Rene Lalique's "Femme-libellule" (Dragonfly Woman) because Meagan and I had the pleasure of seeing the corsage ornament in real life at the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal. To see photos of the museum and the original dragonfly please click HERE. It was also an obvious choice because Meg has a fondness for dragonflies and even has a tattoo of one on her calf. I hope she enjoys her present and I hope you enjoy it too! Happy Birthday Meagan!

/// Beautiful Ambiguity \\\
“Beautiful Ambiguity”
October 2012
Acrylic on Canvas
18” x 24”
$300.00 CAD
PRINT
$20.00 CAD
This piece reflects my thoughts on culture, discrimination, and beauty. Many different races were used as references in order to create this stunning painting of a gorgeous woman. The beauty of this multicultural woman represents the beauty found in each culture. More importantly, it represents the beauty that can be created when cultures come together, not only to have children but, to grow and learn from each other. The loosely painted and multicoloured skin speaks volumes about the importance of skin colour and that it is in fact not important at all. The colour seen behind the wisps of her hair as well as the iridescence of her eyes (better seen in person) represent her essence. Thus, her beauty is not derived from the colour of her skin, eyes, or lips … it is found within her multifaceted spirit.

Chainmaille Bracelet I
+Chainmaille+Bracelet+I+.jpg)
"Chainmaille Bracelet I"
Made to order
$35.00
This is my very first bracelet in my "Chainmaille" series and is quite a bit more delicate looking than my necklaces. The entire bracelet is made up of 3 different chains (two gold and one light copper) and 7 elegant beads (3 copper, 2 silver, and 2 gold). The bracelet incorporates both chain and beads in a delicate way. The bracelet is 7” in length but has an extra 1.5" of chain in order to fit comfortably on any wrist. It fastens with a medium sized gold lobster clasp to match the luxurious gold chain and beads. As a last touch, another copper bead is attached to the extendable chain giving it a beautiful look as it dangles delicately from the wrist.
This piece was created as a custom order for someone who was looking for
something special and specific. If you have a piece of jewelry in mind but do
not have the "know how" to make it please contact me! If you allow your request
to be reproduced for others I only charge for the supplies that is required
for me to make it. However, if you wish that your custom piece be "one of a
kind" and uniquely your own, I do charge for the time that is required to design
and make the piece.

Chainmaille Necklace III
"Chainmaille Necklace III"
Made to order
Made to order
$60.00 CAD
This is the third necklace in my "Chainmaille" series. The entire necklace is made up of 7 different chains that have been expertly braided to form one thick statement chainmaille necklace. The two gold chains within the braid give the necklace an elegant pop of colour that allows the weave to be easily seen. As a compliment to the colours of the chains a large peacock feather floats down one side of the necklace and is attached with gold wire. The peacock feather adds a pop of colour, interest, and an exotic feel. Though the piece looks very heavy its weight is actually quite comfortable. The necklace is 23” in length and fastens with a large gold toggle clasp to match the luxurious gold chain in the chainmaille braid. This piece was created as a custom order for someone who was looking for something special and specific. If you have a piece of jewelry in mind but do not have the "know how" to make it please contact me! If you allow your request to be reproduced for others I only charge for the supplies that is required for me to make it. However, if you wish that your custom piece be "one of a kind" and uniquely your own, I do charge for the time that is required to design and make the piece.
