  • Bee Girl

    Inspired {of course} by… The lovely bees I'm helping to keep this year!  So far, I haven't been brave enough to actually get hands-on and pick up one of the frames.  But I'm just fascinated by the mass of them.  Amazing how they hold on to each-other in kind of a "bee chain" when we

  • A Daisy & a Ladybug

    Playing around with an 8×8" canvas.  I like how the funny bug came out.  🙂 Here's a close up of the quote in the corner… I'm not sure if I have the wisdom to completely believe those words?  A quote on happiness seemed to fit there, but I'm still mulling over my thoughts on that

  • Mushrooms in Multiples

    It all started with one little mushroom drawing.  The shape really appealed to me, so I just kept going.  These are all 5×5" canvases. As summer inches closer, my mind turns to camping.  Since I can't quite go yet (snowing today!) I thought I'd do some camping art.  Take a look at the fun things

  • Mushrooms

    Happy Friday!  I started out trying to draw a bird this evening, but oh my…that went hilariously wrong.  I'm clearly no competition for John James Audubon, or even for a coloring book artist.  :o)  So – I'm on to a mushroom series instead.  ♥

  • Girl in a Drawing Room

    So…what do you think?  I had been wanting to try out some "wallpaper" in the background of a painting and I'm pretty happy with how the whole thing came out.  I especially like the paper texture… It's got a bit of a sparkle that shows up really well with the glossy gel medium over the

  • Girl with a Balloon

    Feeling kind of quiet today, but I wanted to share this afternoon's painting.  🙂 Despite the blowing, drifting snow ~ I'm still dreaming of spring.  It will be time for gardens & barbeque picnics before we know it, right?  Hope you had a lovely weekend! ♥

  • Starting to think “Easter-y”

    A chick perched on a chic!  I started sketching this girl last night in a cute spring dress and it just seemed like she needed a chirpy chick on her shoulder. Watercolors are my medium of choice lately.  I enjoy the process of "coloring" without worrying too much about the details. Then with a few

  • Owl City

    This is an image I've had in my head for awhile and I'm pretty happy with my first attempt at getting it on paper.  Have you heard of Owl City?  I started to say it's a music group, but really it's the musical project of a one-man-band, Adam Young.  He does a song called Fireflies

  • Makeover

    Now she's brunette!  I kept looking at the blond girl from yesterday's post, and the black outline around the front of her hairline was really bugging me.  Since I couldn't soften the line, I figured if she had darker hair it would be less noticeable.  :o) ♥
