This is my latest Inktober 2017 post. I’m going to create a page on my web site with my favorite sketches, at the end of the month. This is too much fun.

This is an illustration that I created for Colour Collective. If you are not familiar with them, they are a page on twitter that posts one color for the week. Artists can then take that color and incorporate it into a work of art using any media. You are then asked to post the work by Friday with the hashtag #colour collective This color was “timber wolf” gray. Its a great way to get the creative juices flowing.

Look at this little cutie. I really LOVE this wooden frame with the hints of turquoise in the bead work. Inquire at info@marneestudio.com. Thanks friends!

These turtles were named for their large head size, used to crush shell-fish such as conchs. The most common sea turtle in the US was at one time a threatened species. Today they are protected by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.

I have new representation! This piece was recently finished and dropped off at Marnee’s Studio, a new art space and gallery located at 2353 Airport Blvd in Mobile, AL.

If you are local, please come to the opening and support this space! If not, work(s) can also be shipped! Contact the business owner (Renee) for more information.

The work comes with a deckled edge, float mat, glass, backing and barn wood frame for $350
This illustration was inspired by a South American folk tale called “The Wings of the Butterfly” in which a girl gets lost in a forest and meets some interesting creatures along the way.
“Dear Chimidyue,” said the butterfly gently, “that is the way of the forest. Among your own people, things change slowly and are mostly what they seem. But your human world is a tiny one. All around it lies a much larger world, and you can’t expect it to behave the same.”

This is a custom work finished in time for Mother’s Day. The subject matter is a silhouette of the current owner’s statue of Mary (the blessed mother) in her garden, with a view of her backyard….as her favorite bird (a red cardinal) flies by.

A new custom work completed! I love making the deckled edge and including that in the frame job. ❤
