Thanksgiving

November was a crazy month...a friend stayed in the studio for a week, escaping a house with no power, het or water due to Superstorm Sandy...then the last two weeks spent out of town visiting. I had to think something up on the fly.

Grace and Ernie 2

A second portrait of the two dogs for one of the owners. Watercolor 8x10".

Gift

2" square. Watercolor with glitter paint (that doesn't really show in the photo). Pendant attachment hasn't been put on yet.

Happy Halloween!

The was actually drawn on the iPad with the Ink app, colored in Photoshop on the big computer.

Hvit Rotta and the Sultana

Watercolor with gold And silver ink. 5"x7". Based on an aceo I did a while ago, I've been wanting to rework the scene into a larger piece for some time. This will be displayed in the CCCA's "Small Works" show over the holidays.

The iPad

Well I was going to upgrade my Kindle Fire when the new one comes out in November, but I changed my mind and decided to get an iPad instead. What made my decision was the large selection of art apps it has. I downloaded quite a number of them including Sketchbook Pro (above my first attempt with that), Sketch Ink (might have the name wrong--simulates pen & ink drawing), ASKetch (simulates charcoal drawing) and Inspire Pro (which simulates oil painting). Now the learning begins.
(Plus it's a whole lot of fun to have).

Bastet

Bastet is the ancient Egyptian cat goddess. This was done as a donation for the Art for AnimalKind auction. Watercolor 8"x10".
