Heron Dreams

I figured I had better post something, anything so you all know I'm still here!

Summer has been busy. Family visiting, job hunting, etc.

This is an old collage I did for notecards. My mother was from New Brunswick and the locals were referred to as herons. I think of her every time I see this collage.

This is for Robin, too, who recently posted about the one she encountered.

Tomorrow I see KJ, Mim and Suki !!

More later...miss you all!♥

Illustration Friday: Toy

There's something about rubber duckies that makes me smile!

Even the fish are attracted to it. Or perhaps they're trying to figure out what he's doing in the ocean. Don't lose your duck down the bathtub drain!!

(After I painted this I noticed the word "atoll" above the duck. What a coincidence!) 

Have  a "ducky" weekend everyone!

Illustration Friday: Dip

Snake dip anyone?

I love symbiotic relationships.

A little weekend whimsy to wish you a happy spring ♥

Illustration Friday: Subterranean

The ever-popular Mud Guppies!

I just felt like doodling a pattern and this is what appeared.

 Pebbles replace bubbles, dirt replaces water and the roots replace coral.

I think they're blue from lack of oxygen.

 Who knew? Happy weekend everyone ;)

Illustration Friday: Unbalanced

This really doesn't look anything like the idea that was in my head!

Oh well, let's just say I killed some time playing with paint and colored pencils.

Perhaps I'm the one that's a bit unbalanced!

Illustration Friday: Flawed 1

It turns out the secret ingredient in the winning cioppino recipe was a flawed cod. (I personally love them beer-battered and fried with lots of tartar sauce!)

I hope to be back later with a BETTER entry!! Oy, what a reach.

Cactus Monday: Floundering in the West

No matter how many times I've been to the desert, it always amazes me when I see those silly fish fly by. I mean, where are they going and what's their hurry?

Happy Cactus Monday Cactuteers!!

Animal Wednesday : Owee-Zowee!

This is a collage I did last year or so. Now it's sold as one of my most popular cards at the studio and on Etsy. It's a small example of my sick sense of humor! Happy Animal Wednesday!
