Keep Calm - Orange on Blue

Six - Original Illustration

Tear drops? Feathers? Aspen Leaves? Whatever they are there are six of them.

This is a print of my original illustration. It was originally created in ink, then digitally 'magicated'.

It is printed on heavy 8"x10" art paper.  It will be available in several other colorways.

"Hey!"

I spent some quality time at the doctor office this week and had time to create this.  I'm thinking maybe an ampersand, asterisk or at symbol would be a good follow-up.

Sand Dollars

I love my life in Arizona.  Having said that, I miss the Northern California Coast.  I grew up in Sonoma County and spent a lot of time at the beach near Bodega Bay and north.  The beaches are so different there than in southern Cal.  The sand is much rockier and there are huge rock outcroppings up and down the coast.


I am starting a beach series of images drawn in ink.  This picture is the first of what could end up being dozens.  I plan to make my originals available.  They are not colored but they stand well on their own.  The colored versions are done in Photoshop and very customizable meaning if a client wants to fit a scheme they have in their house, I can do that.

Back In The Swing

Our family took some time off to attend the funeral of our nephew.  Kyle was only 15 and his death took the wind out of my sails a bit.  We've been back for a couple of weeks and I have forced myself to be creative.

The first piece I did was not typical of the things I tend to paint.  I'm not at all in love with it but I put something on canvas and made a go of it.  It's called Queen Anne's Lace in Orange.


Last night I painted a very small canvas... 4"x4".  I got the canvas for free at Jerry's Artarama on Black Friday.  I ended up going back to my pen/ink roots but I loved the outcome.  It gave me a hundred ideas for more small sets of paintings.


This one is called "Coffee Tree" and it makes me happy.  It's good to be happy.  The sides are sky blue and the front is light blue.  The image was hand drawn with Faber-Castell ink pens of various sizes.  You can also see it here with more photos.

December Daily Drawing - 1

Inspired by HelloJenuine I have decided to start a December Daily Drawing project.  


The goal is to draw and post something every day this month.  It's a great way to keep the creative juices flowing and not to slack off from doing something that I really love to do anyway.  


You'll forgive me [i assume] for starting a day late and for the occasion where I might post a painting rather than a drawing.


I will post them in all the usual places like here, flickr, Twitter and Facebook.


Have fun and keep in touch!
