"EXOTIC"

COREL dooodle.

IF/ 'VANITY'

"VANITY" is 

the word-of-the-week on

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY.

This unique flower sprouts little mirrors

from its center.

This little guy is all eyes!

Faster!

Out for a spin.

LIFE DRAWING

Once a month

for three hours.

I pasted scraps of Canson papers

on left over foamcore.

Then I could just walk around the model

to grab a pose.

Ha! They sure look like different models...

"TWO PEEPERS"

"TWO PEEPERS"

on a blue background.

How have I put white into this tiny piece?

Let's see: the birds are transferred  

typo film. The mosaic pattern is tiny

acrylic brushwork.

Oh yeah; I cut through the blue background

to make the strigil designs up top.

A little colored pencil colors the top bird and triangle below him.

About 6 x 4.5 inches.

"YUP!"

THIS PAPER

carries a lot of color

and some

calligraphic brushwork.

I just turned it into a landscape

by adding a sun-ball and leaves.

He is content with his roll across the sky.

Acrylic and pencil on collaged

scans of antique tile.

Typo film for bright lettering.

"BUD"

I REDUCED

one of my paintings to its

simplest line form

and printed an edition of 25 prints.

Added various collage stripes along one side

and

a little colored pencil.

I know so many veterinarians now!

'SILENT'

ALL  STAGE SOUNDS

have stopped unexpectedly

as

Brunhilde storms out of rehearsal!

Who will replace the diva? Who? WHO? WHOOOOO?

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY's word is "SILENT."

Drew this today....in Painter 12.

Remember : EGOMANIACS are easier to draw when they've huffed off-stage!

"SOUTHWARD"

THE WEATHER

in Key West is breezy and bright.

Parrotheads are in town for the sun and music

and it's nicely social at our gallery.

As my other recent posts,

this is a smaller work on paper board.

Embossing, oil pastel, watercolor and ink.

TRIOS

TRIO EQUIVALANT. 

Acrylic and watercolor.

OR THREE SINGERS.

'SUNSET'

Acrylic, watercolor and typofilm.

"STRIPES"

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY

has spoken:

this week's word is 'stripes.'

She could not change her spots, and had been assured

by her friends (principally the zebra and bumblebee) that all males

adored stripes.

"Doesn't it make me look, err, heavy?"

The bee and zebra eyed each other's forms.

The buzzing friend's eyes were inscrutable,

but the zebra spat out a large mouthful of grass

and snorted,"Nonsense!"

NOVELTY ACT

A Juggler.

Acrylic and watercolor.
