Portrait in Pen

My son commissioned this portrait of his girlfriend. I sketched this from a photo, using a pen. I incorporated my son's drawing of the flower, photocopied, darkened, enlarged, then cut and pasted them onto the drawing. Commissioned things and working from a photo are not my favorite things, so I worked on this almost nonstop till it was done--into the wee hours of the morning--I shouldn't have done that. Then the next day I see where one eye was ever so slightly crooked--can't leave it--have to fix it--so after all that staying up way too late--I CUT the eye out and glued it back in! (I felt somewhat exuberant--wickedly happy--almost giddy cutting into the drawing) So the photo copies are the final end result in this case. Have a good long weekend.

Angry Kite

I once held a class on making these small and easy to fly kites, thanks to a kite design by, Cory Brown,"the kite guy" This one was made from the inner waxy paper from a cereal box. The tails are cut up caution and danger tapes.

Succulent III

My granddaughter and I have been working in the yard during the summer. We found this succulent in a place where it had been forgotten, so transplanted it in a pot right outside our door. It has been looking so much better and it seems to be growing fast! While painting this, I noticed it moving--not that I saw it move, but I noticed the leaves were in a different position from when I began.

My Son's Trailer II

Today was the first day of preschool for my granddaughter. I painted almost the same painting as my previous post, but from a slightly different angle. After preschool, my granddaughter painted along side me. She wanted me to post her painting. It's called:

A Princess Dancing at the Ball on a Red Floor with Steps

It's good to be back!

My Son's Trailer

I showed this to my son this morning and he wants this painting to hang on the wall of his trailer. That struck me funny. If I had somehow painted the inside of the trailer with this painting on the wall...A painting within a painting within a trailer... I may do another on this subject matter for any camping enthusiasts out there.
