Fuchsia - Sunday Scans

If the Fuchsia flower had a face, this is what she would look like.  No wonder the hummingbirds flock to kiss her lips!  This original pocket art drawing is only 2.5x3.5 inches big!

Foxydoodles - Sunday Scans

Here is one of my little Foxydoodle drawings.  I love foxes.  When we were small, I remember watching red foxes leaping above the grasses in the field across the street--in just this way.

I also remember a lady who came to the house with a tiny fox cub nestled in her arms.  "Have you lost a puppy," she asked.  She'd found him beside the road and didn't realize he was a fox!

This is the first three of eight Foxydoodle ACEOs which will be up for sale soon in my Etsy Shop.

Forest Dreaming - Sunday Scans

I often draw faces with forests and mountains surrounding them.  Each face brings a different scenario to my mind.  In my photography I often see faces in clouds, trees and traced along the folds of hill and mighty mountain.  Sometimes my imagination translates from reality into fantasy.
 
Here you see one of these whimsical drawings, which reflects my great love for Nature.

 I am so grateful to our Creator for His amazing Creation.

Dancing Free - Sunday Scans

I LOVE watercolour.  I like the way the brush feels in my fingers--I love the way the colors spread across the paper.  There is something magical about the feel of a color-plumped brush about to spill brightness into a black and white world. This is one of my very first watercolor paintings ever.

Above you see the pen and ink version.  I love inking designs onto the paper--as you can see, detail is something I really enjoy.

Best Buddies - Sunday Scans

This is a portrait of Charlie and Daisy.  For a couple of years my neighbor and I would walk her dogs each morning.  I fell in love with happy-go-lucky Charlie.  Daisy, bless her heart, is a weasel.  She loves to eat and will sneak into my friend's kitchen to snag whatever she can find.  Charlie is big-hearted and though tempted to join Daisy, often does not.

Of course, these two are the best of buddies!  I still get to see them now and again.  Charlie still loves me and dear Daisy is still a loveable weasel.

Beautiful - Sunday Scans

Here is my attempt at Art Nouveau, a style made famous by the artist Alphonse Mucha.  This watercolor painting is the size of a baseball card--these tiny pieces of artwork are called Artist Trading cards, otherwise known as an ATC, or ACEO card.

I love Art Nouveau--the style pleases my eyes.  So far, I have not found any kind of tutorial on how to draw in this style so I'm on my own.  If anyone out there has any tips on how to draw Art Nouveau, I would love to hear from you.  I have so much yet to learn!

Twitterpated - Sunday Scans

I finally got around to coloring one of my Catfish ACEOs.  Isn't she cute?  It is obviously springtime and this small catfish is in love.  In real life, my tiny model was a noble fighter.  Born with significant birth defects, Riblet is still one of my favorite little cat friends.

Amber and Onyx - Sunday Scans

I couldn't resist drawing my talented artist Friend Amber and her delightful sidekick Onyx.  I thought it perfect for Sunday Scans.

Here is Amber with the stuffed version of Onyx.  This talented lady came up with her own design for a real-life Onyx.  SO inspiring!

As you can see, dear Onyx is a bit of a character.  He is always getting into trouble.  He makes me smile.

Happily Amber sells her Onyx dolls along with original ACEO art card at AnimaeGirl.

Big Eyes - Sunday Scans

This ACEO/ATC-sized drawing was inspired by our black cat Snow, or as she came to be called affectionately, Snowbunny.  Fiercely loyal, she mothered our children as though they were her own.  Her eyes shone with love, humor and wisdom.  So often I felt if she'd had the right vocal chords she would have talked.  One could see the intense intelligence in those huge speaking eyes.  She seemed to understand exactly what was said--if she could, she would have replied.  I am sure she would have given me some great advice!  She was very nearly human.
