I would love to find a story to illustrate!




These are just some illustrations that I have been working on in between working on my canvas and waiting for my new computer to arrive! Now I wish I just had a story to illustrate! I was playing around with backgrounds and cutting and pasting images. I am going to do some doodling for some words for these and add them later....Just in case I goof, my painting won't be destroyed....lol

What's on Your Easel?




This landscape of the small town which I live is going to be entered into a local Heritage contest. I painted a small one first, now I am attempting to do it on a 16 x 20 canvas. The straight lines are a challenge for me. I hope this painting reflects my style of simplicity and flow. Its so hard to get the look that I want.
Thanks for looking.

Just Doodling Around!



Found some vellum and some markers and just started doodling! I love the smooth texture of the vellum to create the flow of my hand to just wander around the paper.

Calligraphy

Happy New Year everyone. To start the new year off I thought I would take a dabble in Calligraphy and play around a bit with new lettering. I can't wait. I will post some samples when I am done.
