Different Strokes for Different Folks

I had three partners for this particular swap and for each partner I was to create an ART Themed Postcard. Well in my mind ART would be anything hand drawn or painted. Sooo., I looked up the profile of each of my partners and this is what I created for them.

My first Partner likes the Vogue style and Make-up so this is what I sent....

My next partner likes Nail polish bottles...

and last but not least my third partner likes Primitive art and therefore I created this...

I hope each of my partners will enjoy their postcards. I can't wait to see what I get.

Rainbows and Kitten

Trying to inspire the sun to shine here in my wee corner of Va. I have decided to make some kittens and rainbows. I really do like the way they have turned out and might even use them in my comic strip!
Let me know what you think!

MACRO Swap

I am part of a swap at Swap-bot.com. It is MACRO art.

MACRO (adj) is defined as: very large in scale, scope, or capability

I started sketching these out quite a while ago and ended up doing several. I just can't decide which to send in for the swap.

Here are the one's I have completed...

Which is your favorite?

IF ~ Expire

The topic for Illustration Friday this week is EXPIRE. Here is what I came up with...

I am so glad to see the snow melting and the Easter lillies sprouting out of the ground, but is sure is sad to see Mr. Snowman melt Expire!

Project 365 Day #77

Here is what I have created for day #77. It is 70* outside here and I was just thinking how wonderful it would be to get back to my most favorite place ever.... THE RIVER ... just to relax and soak in the sun rays.



This is done in prismacolor marker and black sharpie. Size 4.5 X 5.5
I was really happy with it until I added the dark green outline to the lily pad. I tried to soften it with a clear blender but it just wasn't working so., I have to leave well enough alone. :-( Still practicing on my furry friends to make them look more realistic.... practice practice practice....!!!!!!

Singing song birds

When I woke up this morning there was the beautiful sound of many many song birds singing. I wasn't able to see them due to the thick fog surrounding the property but hearing them was just what I needed.

Here I drew a few birds that I know are in the area and singing...

Phoebe

This is Phoebe, she is a hummingbird I was watching on line for a few days. She is located in California somewhere. She was nesting on two eggs neither of which were fertile. It was a sad thing to see her leave her nest but I have her tucked in my memory and in my journal.

I am still not good at birds but like my hand study., I will keep practicing until I get these fury lil friends looking real.
