Illustration Friday: Old Fashioned
I'm an old-fashioned girl at heart.
I love vintage wallpaper and good old-fashioned shelter mutts that win my heart.♥
acrylic paint and colored pencil on my favorite medium, scrapbooking paper.
Love it, love it, love it!!!!!! Your image is wonderful and I'm liking that paper alot too!!!! Beautiful name for your pet, it's my daughter's name. Hope you are having a great Monday!
Hello little miss perfect!!!!!!!!!!!! What a stunning portrait this is! I have seen this before but now that I have seen Emma I KNOW it is just like her! Amazing! I do hope you keep this one (know what I mean)
Lo, this is a wonderful image of Emma and I do so love the paper! Thanks to you dear friend I now have some. You are a doll and a sweetheart. Kiss that Emma and of course Bliss for me.xoxo
And you've given me super inspiration in using scrapbooking paper. I have these water colour pencils I unearthed a while ago and wanted to use them against a designed background. I have a whole lot of scrap booking paper, but never thought of using them for this.
This is a place where I share my art and my heart. I hope something I create resonates with you in some positive way, whether it be my images, my words or both.
I'm always grateful for your visits and your comments.
If you have time, please browse "Find me here too!" to see more of my art and photos.
If you see an image you like, please ask before using it. All images are copyrighted and property of the artist. Thank you.

She looks like a little princess too - can see why you adore her so much! Beautiful illustration - you have such lovely papers to choose from!
now that made me smile wide - lovely way to start the day.
awww, so sweet
Emma is an old fashioned name for an old fashioned girl's very fashionable dog. Great sketch Lolo. I can see the life in Emmas portrait.
Beautiful! I love how you're painting on patterned paper.
OOOOOH MY What a treatfor the eyes! This is beautiful. I love the flourishes at the bottom...:)
I think 'Sweet Emma' will win everyone's heart. She's beautiful and so is your painting.
She is the sweetest dog! What gentle eyes...
And you've given me super inspiration in using scrapbooking paper. I have these water colour pencils I unearthed a while ago and wanted to use them against a designed background. I have a whole lot of scrap booking paper, but never thought of using them for this.
Thanks so much!
Wonderful texture!Great image:)
