N is for Nightingale

As shows approach, I start to review older designs to change things that start to bother me. In the older one below, I thought to create more of a feeling of night as the sun sets revealing the moon. The bird also seemed to large in scale. Since the nest also ties into the letter N, I thought to make it larger. 

That is what is nice about working digital. You can keep playing and make changes to what you create.

Finally another idea for the letter N.

I have to say this gets harder and I really struggled with this one. 

This Newfoundland dog sits at attention with a pot of Narcissus and his buddy Noah the Nightingale perched on his noggin.

N is for Neptune - Update

N is for Neptune

Yep, I am at it again.

I looked at a design I did a while ago, as shown below, and it did not look quite finished. 

It did not quite pull together for me.

I guess that what happens when you gaze at one's creations while sitting in a tent while doing an art festival. We become our own critic. So I set about to add a bit more drama as well as pull the color story together a bit more.

It will be interesting to see if this one will get a better response with it's new update.

Yes, it is another letter N. 

Maybe it is I am on a roll, but when thinking up the idea for N is for Nightingale in my previous post, the idea of using the Greek god Neptune also came to mind.

Every time I do a show, I realize I need to expand my selection of letters. A friend named Nelly had stopped by at one of my shows early this summer, and needless to say, my letter N selection of two options was not blowing up her skirt. 

So this is my new stab at another option of the letter N.

N is for Nessie

I have been puzzling over what to do for another letter N. 

It has been difficult. I mean I had a brain freeze. I was looking through the dictionary to see if I could get any inspiration, but all I got was a headache. So then I just started making different letter N's. Upon doing a lowercase script N, I saw it. NESSIE! Phew! These are getting harder and harder to do!

Have a great weekend! Tomorrow I rest!
