Pink Flamingo!

Throwback Thursday!

So much pink! Pretty bird on wood. Hello, flamingo. Actually was purchased by another artist, Ursula Vernon, at a convention/show we were both at. I had a little bit of a moment when that happened, because her work is so awesome.

Angry Owl

Ah, this guy! One of my favorite pieces. On a really beefy canvas, too.

I need to handmake more canvases from brick moulding, because it made for some amazing surfaces to work on.

Pretty Birds

I've been going through my older artwork as I set up a new studio space, and I found these photos.

At the time I painted these, I was living in Erie, PA. I do like the style of these, and I think I could learn from them and make new pieces in a similar style. They're mixed media, watercolor, acrylic, and colored pencil. While I like some of the intricate details, I also like my more recent, larger pieces that have a touch more spontaneity and motion to them.

"I Will Keep Your Secrets" Notebook

Belted Kingfisher.

What do you prefer? The scanned notebook version, or the cleaned-up-for-print version? I think I may do a tutorial for notebook cleanup, since a lot of people doodle or seriously draw on these and would probably like a nice record of them!

This is for a CF benefit in September. The notebook and some of my paintings will be auctioned off.
