Charcoal on board

This was a bit difficult prompt. I dont want to draw just brick of wall or similar. So i choose to use photo where my wife is with ”brick” of ice as reference

Robot doodle with another favorite pen: Sailor 1911s EF, Royal Tangerine. Pilot Black ink on 4x6 note card.

teeny, colorful flowers

Standing on a block (while two men sit up top), The horse is deep in thought, wondering "Where can we walk?" He's distraught 'cause he knows that there is nowhere to go, And it does no good to tell them, they'll just say "I told you so."

I drew this in my Baron Fig Portals sketchbook while on the plane. We were flying on Turbulent West Airlines.

WIP and having a blast. What could it be? The answer coming in the near future. #doodle @shawnimals @rotofugi #ocean #mixedmedia #plushform #robot #shark #porthole #nautical #outerspace #space #fish

Taking a break from the abstract to sketch the Grevilleas growing in the backyard.

A different kind of mouse than I normally make. I am taking a year long class w Danielle Donaldson and we work on a different animal each week.

Conjoined flower twins sway frightfully in the morning breeze.

Watercolor Flowers

Repping the hood, as they say. Renton. 425. Weird place to have settled down but at least we have big birds and kids riding them.

Charcoal on gessoed sketchbook paper

These were old sheets of practice alcohol ink on yupo.

The bold white initial letter is sitting on a blue pen and ink hand drawn illustration with a watercolour background.

Oil pastels on board. I used terpenoid to blend the pastels like paint on the canvas. From my latest art class.

I never understood the power of dots and lines until I did this art! A simple change in the line from straight to curved shows projection of a hand. What a beauty!

For this piece I used acrylic paints and acrylic markers. My inspiration was my love of tattoo flash and traditional/neo-traditional tattoo designs. I grew up flipping through pages of tattoo flash catalogues and the art inside was a huge influence in my own art. Some of these pieces are my versions of popular designs and some are originals.

Teaching painting is a great task to ask of a person who doesn't paint. I do not paint. I teach the manipulation of media through experience. "Learn from doing!" I say. Monochromatic pastel exercises help my students to get a handle on the media. We explore value and composition and the handling of media. Sometimes happy accidents occur. This was my example to the teens on composition and value. It is a journey.

Peony flowers from my garden earlier this year. Bartzella Itoh peony. A bit heavy-handed in my opinion, but I still like the outcome.

For Valentine's Day, I wanted to paint my husband and me. I think it turned out great. We'll print it and put it up somewhere in the house.

This sweet little star fell out of orbit.
