Christmas Bugs


I drew and painted these jewel scarabs for my sister and brother-in-law for Christmas!! I'll try to get better pictures of them when I return to Spokaneland. This will suffice for now.
Pen and watercolor.

Orange and Blue





I painted these little fishies this summer..... I miss warm weather. Also, I think I'm might be able to reconcile my love for color with my lack of talent for painting with acrylics. This, I should think, is a step in the right direction!
Also, I just love these colors. Orange and blue look smashing together. Here is my painting, inspiration, and a couple of freebies just cause they are so cool.

The Eye of Collum Cille







My little brother sent me a glass ball and I had the audacity to ask him what it was good for. I discovered the answer. It reminds me of the glass Eye of Collum Cille in The Secret of Kells (a lovely film).

When in Portland....



... get a great illustrators directory! 3x3 Illustration Directory. Thank you used bookstore and boyfriend.

This is such a useful tool! It has selected works from hundreds of contemporary illustrators ranging from advertising to children's books. It was only slightly inspiring. Hence the "girl dreams of her covers coming to life"... drawn on the drive home to Spokane :)

Illustration


Full-fledged scenes are not my forte. This is a start I suppose.
Pen.

I have realized (finally) that I will never be the best artist or anywhere close. So I am content to be the best that I can be and not only be content, but rejoice in and develop my own distinct style. Praise the Lord that there is such a range of expression in this life.

Snow Creations




Snow is the best medium to use because a) you don't have to pay for it, and b) you can't really run out of it.
This is my snow lion.
