Family Portrait


Today I've been working on a family portrait for my step daughter. I may not be quite done with it but here's where I am for now...
Hope she likes it - portraits always make me nervous:)

Dreadlocked


I drew a little doodle at my desk yesterday and decided to
use it as reference for a painting last night...

Monday night sketch...


A quick little Monday night watercolor sketch on a postcard that I'm sending to a friend for her birthday...
I went to the most wonderful concert a few weeks ago and can't stop listening to violinist Alasdair Fraser and while I'm in the studio listening I thought I might as well paint something...

Peonies


I'm happy with this one - I really like the simplicity of the setting. It is somehow a very comforting painting to me:)



I haven't done one of these little acrylic cattledog paintings for awhile and it was really fun to paint this one on this gray cloudy Sunday morning!

balloon lights...


I don't know what these kind of lights are really called but I've always liked them...

Peapod


Here's a little watercolor sketch - a friend of mine at work is very pregnant so I've been playing with ideas for a congratulations card...
