Queen of Hearts -Guest Heart Thursday

I have had a high fever for nearly five days.  So, since I'm down with the flu, I've been doodling--this one I drew especially for my Sissy and for Guest Heart Thursday.  I find that when I am in pain, or not feeling well, when I doodle I'm nearly totally distracted from how bad I feel.  I've been doing a LOT of doodling lately.  

Happy Guest Heart Thursday and have a lovely day, everyone!

Toez Gets Bellz -Guest Heart Thursday

I painted this little 2.5x3.5 inch picture of Toez the Polydactyl Cat, when she was full on cute in kittenhood.  She has learned to use those wonderful mitten paws of hers just like a human does.  Even as I type this she is sneaking between me and the keyboard to nestle herself in such a way that typing can become difficult!!  (meow)

Here's a picture of our tiny Toez the day she came home.  Isn't she just darling?   (grin) As you can see, she was totally irresistible!

And she STILL is!  Even though she's since grown to the size of a small bobcat.

Leaning on Her Harley

At the request of a friend of mine, who wanted to see this piece, I'm posting a picture of one of my first big commissioned pieces.  I apologize for the unevenness in the photo--it was really hard to get the coloring right with my camera!

It took almost eight months of preliminary drawings--when I was finally finished, it was HUGE.  I mailed it off in a box 45x36x5 inches!  Under separate cover, I included a smaller version, matted and framed, along with a hand-bound book, which included all the preliminary sketches.

It was lovely to work on such an extensive project with a person who knew exactly what he wanted.  It was an amazing experience.

Have a lovely day, everyone!

Valentine Doodles -Guest Heart Thursday

This is an odd little watercolor doodle I painted when my little niece was visiting.

We had SO much fun that afternoon.  Everyone should have the chance to paint pictures with a five-year old!  (grin)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  Joy, peace and love to each of you.

Blue Green Forest -Guest Heart Thursday

This winter has been especially hard.  With the long, rainy, gray days of winter in the Pacific Northwest this season, I find myself longing for green woodlands and spring flowers.  I have seen some amazing pictures of bluebells carpeting the forest floor and was inspired.  Hence the bluebells beneath spring green leaves.

Yes, this Blue Green Forest has hidden hearts, but something else is there.  Can you see it?

Have a lovely day, everyone!

Heart Flower -Guest Heart Thursday

Last week I found an old sketchbook from the 1990's.  This is one of my graphite sketches.  It appealed to my eyes and I thought this heart flower would be just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday.
