Etsy Shop

Finally after years upon years of saying that I would create an Etsy shop, I have finally done it!
My hope is to add at least one thing to my shop every month. Next up is Valentines day so I should have some valentines day cards up by the end of the month in time for February 14th!

advanced style

So a friend had recently posted a video about older stylish women living in New York, which is to be a documentary coming out...here is the link...

Within in the first 10 seconds I knew it was going to be great! All I could think about while watching it is how colorful these women looked and how much I wanted to draw them..so that is what I have decided to do! Here are the first two drawings I have done so far, and more will follow :)

Trying out some new sketching techniques...

Boat!

Valentines day

The seasons

Rapunzel

Rainy day! Finally got back into the swing of painting traditionally,
and I am happy with this piece!

Illustration Friday - Acrobat

This was my first thought. To all the moms in the world who juggle multiple things at once ;)

This is a drawing for the story of The princess and the pea.

My first drawing of a series I plan on doing, on birds! The next bird I do will be a peacock

A painting done on white canvas with black acrylic paint

A diary design with the theme secret garden.

A design for flip flops!
(with my attempt of showing what it would look like on a real pair of flip flops)

Just playing around with a few things. This piece isn't fully finished, but for the moment I'm happy with it.

Another strange image that I made...just fooling around and this came out of it. I think it kinda looks like it could be an emperor or something.

I was erasing an image when I was left with a shape that looked like a face. So this face came out of it and I was happier with it then I thought I would be. I plan to do a series of these.

This was a place mat I designed and made as part of my thesis.
I'm happy with the result :)

A cat having a tea party with his toy mouse!

A painting of a night landscape done with acrylics and fabric

A lamp I painted for an Art Jam auction.
