Colorful Doe
This is a sketch that I created with some of my new sketchbox materials and loosely inspired by the work of Gustav Klimt. The doe is actually cut from a piece of paper that my 4 year old painted. Shhhh, don’t tell her. I really want to make more collage pieces like this. It SOLDContinue reading “Colorful Doe”
Sleeping Fawn T-Shirts!
Hello! Well I finally did it and I’m testing the waters to see what you all think. I have been throwing around the idea of having some t-shirts printed for awhile now. It makes sense to put something out there that is functional and beautiful. 😉 If you are interested in one of these superContinue reading “Sleeping Fawn T-Shirts!”
Process
I thought I would share a little bit about my process today. When painting forest scenes, branches, pine needles etc., I like to use a #1 round brush and a liner brush.

Littles In the Snow
We actually had a good amount of snow in Alabama last weekend. I’ve never seen a snowy forest but I would like to imagine that it looks something like this. Here is another post for #illo_advent. Peace, love and joy everyone.

Wishing you a very happy holiday season filled with peace, love and joy! I created this illustration just in time for Day 5 of #illo_advent.

Blue Eyes
I finished this commissioned portrait today! I always hate signing the work. It makes me so nervous, even though I use the tiniest brush possible! Seriously, I think it has 3 hairs. Check out my web site if you have a minute. I updated the design and I think its a little more user friendly.Continue reading “Blue Eyes”
