New Scripture Artwork

My Own Style

I have always loved this quote from Lee Damsky...just so awesome! I created this by using paper as my base then adding some acrylic (background) and dye ink to add details. 

Love Me Some Flowers

I did these using dye ink and paper 

So True!

New work made from paper...I used dye ink and rubber stamps for the background. 

Sprinkles

It's a Saturday with sprinkles on top kinda day. Here in Houston they are called sprinkles but when I lived in Boston they were called jimmies. What are they called where you are? 

Come Away With Me!

Wanted to do something fun.

Monarch

Love, love Monarchs!

I decided to do a Monarch on a flower.  This is all paper except I used acrylic on the background.

Lady In Flowers

This is actually much smaller than the original (my scanner only scans 9x12). She is all paper except the background which is a color wash of ink.

Simple

I decided to do some paper animals in cars. Sometimes I need to do some really simple things and this was a good project for that. All paper...all goodness.

I have a few more but they aren't finished yet. I hope I remember to post them. 

Carrot Car

I did this bunny and carrot car using paper scraps. I don't know what it is but I am just not loving the background. I can't let it go so I am probably going to change it. 

I have several more animals and cars that I am working on so hopefully I will get the background figured out. What do you think?

Birds, Birds, Birds

Here are some birds I did from book paper, acrylic and paper. They are a lot of fun and I always enjoy doing them...time to clean off the desk and get busy on something new.

I will have these for sale at White Linen Night in the Heights in August. It's been awhile since Ive attended so I am happy to see all the artists again.

Print Give A Way!

Guess who slipped a disc in her back? Yes, me. How? I have no clue! Maybe to many Karate Kid Crane Kicks with my boys (yes, I seriously was doing them)

Well, it's been hurting for awhile now but the past three weeks have been killer. I've been taking it easy and catching up on my pile of unread books. 

So it's time for a give a way...double fist pump!!

A Good Book Can Change A Person's Life

paper, dye ink

Have you ever read a book that completely changed your life? If so let me know... leave a comment for a chance to win this cool beans print. It's mounted on a block so need for a frame!

I will post the winner on Wednesday at 4:00 pm CST

Total fact randomness... J.J. Audubon's The Birds of America, published in 1840, is the most valuable book in the world. It sold for $8,802,500 in March 2000—the highest price ever paid for a book.

EEK Creepy Critters

The creepy critters will be coming out very soon!

Red Birds

Here are some red birds Ive been working on...love this red paper! I have been spending most of my time in the studio nowadays working on art for White Linen Night in the Houston Heights. This event will take place August 7th from 6-9pm.

I have several other pieces I need to show you but my scanner is in the repair shop.

I am in LOVE with my Art Panels by Etsy seller Andrews Reclaimed. They are manna from heaven people and I wish I had a thousand of them.

 

Working On Background

Here are my notes for my sea creatures piece. As you can see I have my paper down and I am starting my background using this great acrylic blue called Cornflower. I really watered it down because I wanted a lot of the green patterned paper to show through. I don't have a picture to show you but I used white acrylic and dry brushed the background and added the country tan for texture using bubble wrap.

I have the little sea horses and jellyfish already cut out and ready to go. I just need to get the background done...I am on my way.

I am almost done with it so I will show you more in the next day or so.

GREAT ADVENTURES

New Art Papers Happy

Today I made a trip to my favorite art store Texas Art Supply to pick up some new papers. I was in paper heaven because they had some new papers I had not seen. I have to practice self control because the papers really add up. I could go crazy in the paper department in that place.

The Gray Matter

All this paper and I don't have any gray. I was working today and needed some gray but thousands of papers later realized I didn't have a single sheet. I even went to my scrap bin and it was completely empty. Looks like a trip to Texas Art Supply is in order. yeeessssss!
