A Special Day ♥

Flower Girl mixed media/photomontage Hi there! It's been a few days since I've posted. I have been hiding out, working very hard on a new body of work, so excited for it! This is Flower Girl I thought she would be appropriate for today's post. Today is my 4 year wedding anniversary! I am happily married to a wonderful man who is so supportive of everything I do, including my art. I love you Gordo . "I announce and declare my intention to give you my deepest friendship and love... not only when your moments are high...but when they are low... not only when you remember clearly Who you Are... but when you forget... not only when you are acting with love... but when you are not...". "It is my intention to stay with you forever.." Part of our vows from the book Conversations with God . ♥

Faces n' Fashion...

Face # 14 11x14 mixed media Face # 15 11x14 mixed media Face # 16 11x14 mixed media Face # 17 11x14 mixed media Face # 18 11x14 mixed media Hi there!

I have fallen behind, so 30 Faces in 30 Days has officially turned into 30 Faces Anytime *wink,wink . Man, it's difficult to keep up with them especially when you tend to be a perfectionist - grhh. But I am determined to complete my 30 faces regardless of how long it may take. I have some plans to create something fun with all the faces... stay tuned! For these faces I wanted to have fun with fashion, textures and color while keeping a looseness to the drawings. I had so much fun with these and decided I will create more (after my 30 faces) and start playing with postures, poses and fashion. I'm a sucker for fashion but never really worked on fashion illustration before - yes, another thing to add to my to do lis

Dog-Chicken...

Hi there! Hope you had a great weekend. I did, cold but good. So why Dog-Chicken ? Well, I first thought of chicken for last weeks IF's topic chicken and then combined it with some illustrations inspired from Carla Sonheim's, The Art of Silliness 3 class. Carla Sonheim is also know for her popular book Drawing Lab for Mixed Media Artist which I will be running out to get this week. Anyway back to Dog-Chicken, I enjoyed creating these illustrations on their own but then... I cut, I stapled, I mixed, I matched and –– voilá. I got... Dog-Chicken Chicken-Dog Girl-Chicken Owl-Girl Fish-Owl There were so many funny variations these are just a few of my favorite. This was way fun and a great exercise for ideas! A fun project to do with children too. I know I could have cut these up digitally but it was more fun physically cutting them, I'm very much a tactile person. This could make a great little book or perhaps these will become future characters? Hmmm... Do y
