Evolving Design

P is for Pretty Poppy

When sitting in a tent at an art festival selling my art, my art falls under my ever critical eye. This design has now gone under a second change. It was like I had not finished the first revision.

As you can see below I had changed color of the back ground and revised the poppy, 

but it stopped there. 

The butterfly and the background pattern stayed pretty much the same from the original.

The middle piece was only a transitional piece. It still needed to finish evolving to its new look as I stared at it in the tent. I hope for now that it is done. But who knows. Maybe a year from now, you will see yet another new version. 

Revisiting the Letter P

P is for Poppy

Every once in awhile I revisit a design I have done to see if it could be illustrated better. In this case it is The Letter P which I designed years ago. I am glad I did in this case. Here is the new updated version. 

R is for Rose

R is for Rose

Okay, this is the fourth letter R that I have designed! But 2 of them are, well not feminine at all, and one is definitely for kids, so I felt I would take another stab at it.

So if you like roses, or your name is Rose, this letter R is right up your alley.

Of course, I like to add a few ladybugs for luck!

 

Make a Wish

Well, I was going to design a daffodil, but I wound up with a dandelion.

I think I need a wish for Spring to be on its way.

 

The Letter F for a French Fox

A French Fox holding a flower  finally came to mind for another illustration for the letter F.

Seeing Tulips!

Yippee! Spring is Here!

From the bleakness of a long Cleveland winter I am thrilled to finally see my tulips make their appearance. So of course, I had to do an illustration of tulips to celebrate their long awaited arrival.

Ah, March!

Good bye February! Hello March!

I am counting the days till spring. This winter has been exceptionally GRAY. I need sunshine! Here is hoping with the oncoming of spring this March that we will be greeted with more blue skies and rays of sunshine to chase the winter doldrums away!

Consider the Lily

With all the whites and grays of winter I think I needed something bright and cheerful.

Here is a lily that I did with a new background.

You can get a tote bag, or a cover for you lap top or cell phone. Even a throw pillow!

Anything that will take away the dull colors of winter.
