JUVENILE

THERE ARE competitions to design fabrics on Spoonflower.com; this was one I did for a juvenile fabric. Except I did it the day after the competition closed.

I was in designing mode as I'm working on a logo for an animal clinic...

FALLING

LEAVES. And a mask of fallen ones in smokey cool air.


I beat myself up for not painting daily but I can at least do a little drawing each day in Illustrator. What; 20 minutes to do this?  Only 'summer' to do next!

SNOW QUEEN

JUST another doodle from sketch book. I've been following some animators' blogs and wanted to play along.

COLOR POP

RUNNING two images today that have similar color combinations.
I once had an inspirational 'color file'; it had clippings from magazines featuring color combinations in interiors or fabrics. Some were just photos of plumage or reptiles and their markings. On my bulletin board now is a shot of shoes covered in a fabric that is magenta, burnt orange and black and a lot of white/gray.

'UNTITLED'/ SOLD VALENTINE GOODY

LATELY I've framed and hung little paintings that, in my opinion, require no title. This is one.
I do refer to it as 'the sweet dog.' It's india ink and gold on an acrylic background.

MOM BIRD

A LITTLE STUDY which repeats the composition of an earlier painting. Acrylic, ink and colored pencil. I'm working on a larger version: oil over collage.
