Illustration Friday: Caution

Beware of fat flying cats who taunt neighborhood pooches!

This is a repost of my very first "IF" back in 2006 for the word "trouble."

The name of the illustration is "Taunting Spot."

Animal Wednesday : Tennis Anyone?

This is an old old old old illustration I did when I was sending out greeting card portfolios. It seems every Golden Retriever has a tennis ball obsession. I like the photo card of the Golden who has about five balls in his mouth at once! Ever seen that one?

Happy Animal Wednesday you guys!

Animal Wednesday : The Eyes Have It

This is a mini painting I did for the gallery and is now the only painting left at my etsy store. I love white kitties with different colored eyes. I'm pretty sure they know how cool they look!

Happy Animal Wednesday!

Cactus Monday #2

Here's a little 6 x 6 inch canvas I painted this weekend at the studio especially for Cactus Monday. I used a photo I took a few years ago as a reference. I've listed it in my Etsy shop to keep the other paintings company! I call it "Cactus Meditation."

Update...it sold as soon as I listed it. A client of mine saw it and wanted it for her daughter, so I took it off Etsy.

IF : 100%

No matter if it's a beautiful sweater, scarf, hat, mittens....whatever, 100% wool makes me itch!!

(This was done a couple of years ago as a Christmas card design..."Fleece Navidad!)

IF : Superstition

" Carrying an acorn will bring luck and ensure a long life."

I love it when a painting I just finished happens to fit the "IF" theme! I painted this Thursday for my friend's birthday. She loves acorns, oak leaves and Ravens. Yesterday I had no computer access due to some glitch at the towers, or whatever. It was hell for me because I wait all week for Illustration Friday! I still could have gone to the studio to draw or paint something, but no, I frittered away the day in withdrawal. Today though, I hope to do something superstitious in my Moleskine! So check back on my moleskine site if you'd like.

Have a super weekend!

IF : Momentum in Nature

The soft free-fall of a feather swoops from side to side, being carried by it's own momentum, soon to be swirled into the ripples of a pond gathering it's momentum from the tossing of a pebble.

Two quiet forces of nature equaling a feeling of peace.
