Here’s a leaping frog full of color and maybe a little nonsense. He is painted in watercolor and drawn with a crow-quill pen. I have colored and added a stylized text to match his personality.
Frogs are a subject of fun, ridicule, and story-telling. Have fun with this. You may need one in your collection.
Here’s the link to purchase.
The boy has the flower and the girl has the lollipop. They are dressed in brown and white and their outfits don’t make any sense at all. What was I thinking? Perhaps they just walked out of a fairy tale. This watercolor is a little retro looking I think and is reminiscent of a time when gingerbread cookies were the rage. ha ha.
I am having fun with my wacom tablet and exploring new fonts. Even though the tablet is old, it still works great. I wish I could say the same for me. Not everything works..but if you get the job done, does anybody really care?
I think this would be fun for grandparents. Here it is in my on-line store.
A Big cat and little cat are having a love conversation. The big cat has camouflage artwork on his body and the little cat is making big body language. Who is talking to who? Who loves who? It could go either way, so have fun with this.
Since I seem to be in my retro mood for the past few weeks, this was a small sketch in one of my many sketchbooks. I always refer to my sketchbooks, whether the sketches are good or not. The important thing is that you get the information down. Usually, the first sketch is the best one because that carries the message across in the strongest and most immediate way. You can always tweet the drawing a little bit and get it to fit into what you want now. This drawing was a little different because I kept it very raw and did not polish it up at all.
I scanned it and made sure I put it on a large white background leaving a lot of space to make room for a big text area. I just made a mask and gave it a transparent background and then painted the cats some and with the direct selection tool, filled areas with different shades of black, greys and whites. I know there are artifacts all over the place but I am moving ahead and will repair the image later. I hope this does not bother people too much.
this is how it looks on products: 
Lambs are animals I have always loved. My mother grew up on a farm and she said they were the sweetest of all the baby animals. I enjoy seeing them in fields or how nice is it to look out your window and be able to see sheep and lambs grazing.
I painted this little watercolor very simply. It is part of a growing interest in my “alphabet series”. I don’t know what this series will become, but I love letters and script and any excuse to play is great.
I am offering this as a photo print. Click here to purchase or see other options.
Have you ever lost something and found it a long time later? Well, here’s one cat I remember drawing way back in 2004. I found this little guy in a zip file that somehow got saved from disaster. So I know he’s not very well drawn but this art came at a time in my life when I almost died. I was recovering from major surgery and was trying to remember who I was as I had lost a lot of my memory.
I remember sitting in a little travel trailer and painting these little cats by the hundreds. I painted some on wood and some on paper. Most were just simple watercolors no bigger than 6 square inches. I did some on scratchboard too. Some survived. They helped me clear my head, get my bearings and be optimistic for the future. I love cats and this therapy did work.
Eventually a lot of my memory came back but I still don’t know what day or month it is most of the time. My friends are very patient with me.
Here is the little guy on some products.
