Garden Lion
I mentioned the other day that I originally wanted to do the Fluffy lion with the sagriffito technique and I forgot to do it and just started to paint the lion. This time, I did remember and I painstakingly etched into the wood the outline of the lion. It didn’t quite come out as IContinue reading “Garden Lion”

Happy Hearts Valentine Themed Sketchbook
Ok, so I am a wee bit late posting these. This hand bound, hand painted, 20 page sketchbook was a little labor intensive and most of the postcards my mom received from this sketchbook were critters without page embellishments. I just finished all of the embellishments today. Some of these may get bumped out byContinue reading “Happy Hearts Valentine Themed Sketchbook”
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.
