"Forest Friendships"

Hi!  I have completed another watercolor illustration with my Niji waterbrushes and Yarka water paints.  I must say I really like this combination of tools!  I haven't really settled on a name for this piece, but have decided to call it "Forest Friendships" until I can come up with a better title.

It is a fun little piece that I have thoroughly enjoyed working on.


Happy Day!

"Five New ACEO's!"

I just love ACEO's!  When you have a little bit of time you can create a little piece of art.  An ACEO creation can be created just about anywhere, snuggling up on the couch, sitting in a car, camping, in the middle of the night when you can't get back to sleep, filling in time at a local art show .... they have to be an artist's best friend when one has only a bit of time and not enough energy to work on something larger.

That said, I have been squeezing in little ACEO's here and there for the past week and finally got them photographed and ready to list in my Etsy Shop later on this week.  In the meantime, I thought I'd take out a bit of time to share them with my friends.

"A Floral Knot"
"A Knot of Shamrocks"
"Three Tortoises" (already listed in my Etsy Shop)
"Mushroom"
"Mushrooms and Fern"

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and letting me share my artwork with you.

"A Zentangle Sunset"

After I had completed "A Zentangle Sunrise" my hubby asked that I illustrate a tree with more personality and friendly mushrooms. Of course I was simply delighted to fulfill his request, especially since his birthday is just around the corner! The finished result is titled "A Zentangle Sunset" which I am happy to share with you as well.



The original drawing was executed on a size 9"x12" sheet of art paper and took about 4 days to complete.  I have listed it in My Etsy Shop as an authorized art print (printed on 8.5"x11" sheet of acid free paper) and in the reduced ACEO format size (2.5"x3.5").  


I really like how this piece turned out and hope you like it as well.



Happy Day!
