The second collection is called the "Blue Eyes Collection." It features a "big blue eyed sistah." Each face can be customized regarding hairstyle, hair color, directions of the head shape, position of the blue eyed pupils, and the color scheme of the neckline and bust area.
The original "Blue eyes" acrylic hand painting was completed in 2019 as a part of an art expression class within a support group and was completed in under 2 hours. Many people liked the original canvas panel which was an experiment so Ms. Blocker decided to create a whole collection of ten pieces surrounding this Sisterhood.
The first two "Blue Eyes" paintings are using the same "Mont Marte" brand canvas quality as the original 2019 version. Buyers will feel confident to know that a stencil is being used to create a consistent sizing of the face. Only 9x12 canvases are being used to effectively showcase the small face of the Blue Eyes Collection.
As a rape and kidnap survivor, Ms. Blocker is using art to continue coping with past trauma and has opened up an Etsy online store and art gallery. The website is https://www.etsy.com/shop/ApplebaumStudio
All paintings are being created with professional acrylic paint, and Ms. Blocker is looking forward to experimenting with oil paint and watercolor. In addition, she is also looking forward to being featured in a storefront gallery. She appreciates the continued support from her community.
