S is for Seal

S is for Seal

I am doing a show this summer which will feature my illustrated letters. I just realized my letter S that I created awhile ago is more holiday piece. So here is a new letter S as a cute seal in a sailor hat holding a starfish.

Ranunculus Inspiration

Ranunculus on Blue

After playing with pansies, I felt like I wanted to do more flowers. Ranunculus with it many petals caught my interest. Although stylized here, they make a bold statement. So here is a pop of color to brighten any gray day.

Picture Pansies

Pansy Passion

 I use to think of pansies as being old fashioned but I thought they could look a bit contemporary with a different look. So here our some pansies for spring and warmer weather!

April

April

Okay, okay, I know we are not half way through March, but after the snow flurries today, I am pushing for April and forsythia! I know its yellow flowers of sunshine make a brief appearance, but it is the promise of Spring! 

The Letter G Canvas Print

The Letter G

I have started to reproduce my letter illustrations on canvas rapping them on thick stretchers. Although I have some printed out on archival paper and framed, I like the look of them in a gallery canvas wrap. Of course this means going back and designing the sides, but that makes it all the more fun like visiting an old friend. Each letter in the series will be 8" x 8".

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.

Check out society6.com for all kinds of goodies where this lily appears.

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.
