Orange in blue

Just something weird and fast I did for fun!

This is a character I like to revisit every few years just to see how my art's progressing. Here are the 2008 and 2005 versions.

Some characters...

I normally don't post my commissions on here... but I was just thinking, why not? They're valid.

I do a lot of character designs/portraits for people (mostly on deviantart, and mostly in a digitally-colored pencil-sketched style). Here's a tiny sampling. for many more, visit my DA!

Louisiana Flowers

Hey there!

I did some watercolor paintings and it was requested that I post them here. Unfortunately, however, I forgot to scan them before they were sold. So all I have are these awful phone photos.





The commissioner requested different Louisiana plants... so I did the magnolia (the state flower), water lilies (because...we have swamps) and day lilies (pretty common around here), in that order. I used a type of paper I never had before, that allowed me to apply colors in layers... I had fun figuring it out as I went.

Enjoy!

Reliving the Glory Days

ex-Olympian goes skating with her grandkids... :)

done for this!

Louisiana Irises

This is a watercolor painting I did recently. Flowers are fun to paint...

On that note, I now have an etsy shop. nothing fancy and still a bit under construction, but it has some of my paintings available to buy, and hopefully someday will branch out to include other crafts.

Ooookay! Hopefully I'll have more to share soon.... my art-making this summer has been rather erratic-- lots of traditional work, lots of practice, lots of rough sketches, lots of commissions....

Building a new best friend...

.... because the cat is a little pest





One big fun experiment... so my next goal is to figure out how to complete an image without losing all the lively painterliness I like in the earlier stages.

Cowboy Figure

Hallo!

This is an old painting from last year, but a friend requested that I post it here.

Photoshop! From life.
