Love gives you wings

These creatures came from sketches done in my morning pages. They started out as a random shape, that I move around until I find something I can work with in that shape, and then pull a creature out of it. Wally the owl is obsessed with hearts and loves Valentine’s Day. He loves hearts decoratedContinue reading “Love gives you wings”

Sea Hearts, Swan and Duckie

Violet, the tiny sea dragon, doesn’t have wings but longs to fly like her airborne cousins. Swan and Duckie are the best friends ever. Duckie always rides along on Swan’s back because, well, he’s afraid to swim.

Esmerelda and the Pink Diva Bird

Esmerelda is a shy daydreamer who would love to dance ballet with a large ballet troupe and hopes to someday be a prima ballerina. The Pink Diva Bird dreams of singing opera at La Scala in Italy. She practices her scales every day and loves to dress up. These creatures came from sketches done inContinue reading “Esmerelda and the Pink Diva Bird”

Happy Hearts Valentine Themed Sketchbook

Ok, so I am a wee bit late posting these.

Thank God that year is OVER!

Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to 2021. I am not going to rehash 2020. It had some good points where we got to spend time with our daughter and Cleo. But it had bad points, too. Who knew we were going to lose Cleo so young. We lost some family, friends (not to the pandemic)Continue reading “Thank God that year is OVER!”

Christmas Art Countdown – Day 23

This is my dove that I did using as a mono print. Then I scanned it into Procreate so I could tweak it slightly and play with the lettering. I have several different lettering versions but my husband liked this one best.

Christmas Art Countdown – Day 19

This is another reinvented piece from 2018. I am really excited how I can take images from my sketchbooks and recreate them using the digital tools. The snow in this one looks so much more alive.

Christmas Art Countdown – Day 18

This Angel is a new improved version of one I did back in 2018. I was going to start from scratch but I have sketchbooks full of stuff so I pulled this one out for an upgrade. The original version had glittery gold paint for the halo and a few other tricks that I canContinue reading “Christmas Art Countdown – Day 18”
