Children of the Corn

Autumn is here! Time for soup and sweaters. Almost.

With that on the brain I began a little sketch of cornfields and scarecrows. Alas, I finally put a bird on something.

"A Solitary Life" - diptych in progress...

 

(yikes! what a terrible photograph)

(more paint and now some ink)

 

This weekend I will be hard at work finalizing stitching and ink work.  To be continued...

 

 

 



Snowscape in June

Summer in Portland. They say it starts after July 4th. Until then I'll continue to paint landscapes reflecting my current mood.

Saint Stephanie

Happy Birthday Stephanie. I swear I'm not painting these because I'm too cheap to buy a present!

Happy 3-0 Sweet Sister

My little sis celebrates the big thirty today. In honor of her special day I present to you:

"Saint Colleen"

All of My Friends Are Saints

At the beginning of the year I was talking everyone's ear off about my latest Icon project idea. That got put on the back burner while I worked on even MORE trees.

So last weekend I finally started a portrait.

Saint Lara - work in progress: watercolor, ink, decorative paper, and thread

Would you like to have your portrait done? Feel free to send me a 3/4 view or profile picture, preferably bust up and no teeth (I suck at drawing teeth). Make sure it's a picture of yourself that you love.
