New Mexico Street Scene

NM-street-scene-web

Street scene in New Mexico. Truthfully, it could be any town u.s.a.
It’s the colors that make it all about the southwest.  And don’t forget the planters with big agave spikes reaching upward.   I don’t know about you, but I love strolling down this kind of place.

This artwork is for sale through my online shop.

Illustrations

This is a drawing/illustration for a coloring book. This is my version of the world I would like to enjoy while I color.colorbook-girl-forest-web..jpg

The process of taking a line art illustration that has been drawn by hand on to a piece of white paper is more difficult than it would appear.

I would love to spend days coloring the line art with different pallets, depending on my mood.  But actually, that’s what artists do all the time, don’t we.

Illustrations for fun

secret-place-webI have been illustrating since I was 10.  It is just something that I have always done; like cooking.  Many people told me that illustrating was not as legitimate as painting. ugh.

Now, fast forward many years later and I  realize I was on target after all.  Don’t believe what you hear and little of what you read.  I will always illustrate and it’s fate that I combine several styles. I am a mix and have always been a mix.

Here’s a work in progress.  Check back to see  how she goes. wip-colorbook.jpg
