IF_Fluid

So, I'm pushing it a little for fluid, but melted chocolate will have to do :)  The fairy was an idea for a project and didn't get used. I thought she was kind of sweet.  She reminds me of Spring.  I'm finally feeling somewhat better and busy, busy trying to get caught up. 

Happy Valentines... a little late

 

Well, I'm a little late. I wanted to post this yesterday, but I was just too sick.  So, I am celebrating Valentines a day late ;)  Below is my son's first digital painting. He wanted me to share it with you. I hope that it is one of many to come. You see, he thinks that he can't draw and I've been trying to convince him otherwise.  He's so creative and has great ideas, he just can't seem to get them on paper.  Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Valentines day.  I spent mine with a box of Kleenex, hot toddies and Chilean Sea Bass ;)

IF_Forward

So, here is the colored version of the sketch that I did for IF's prompt Twirl. I actually made it before midnight on a Thursday! ;)

I think that I got lucky and he works for forward as well as twirl.  He is going to be part of the artwork on a valentines card/mailer.  I am so bad about marketing that I am trying to push myself to make a more diligent effort at it.  I would just paint and draw all of my time away if I could and leave the marketing to the wind ;)   You all are so supportive. I appreciate all of your comments on the sketch.    Thanks for stopping by :) 

IF_Twirl

 

I'm working on this for a Valentines card.  I only had enough time for a sketch for this weeks IF.  I'll update with color so check back to see the finished version :) Sorry to make this so short,  but I'll be back soon.  Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas!

    I hope you all are having a great holiday week.  Myles says Happy Holidays to everyone so I thought it was fitting to post him here as I wish you all Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! I hope to see you all in the new year :) 

Ces's Acorns

     I have met some of the most wonderful people since I started my blog.  I have so many gracious and supportive friends.  I just wanted to say thank you to each of you.  I feel so blessed to have met each and every one of you.  Ces is one of those dear friends whom I treasure and she has been generous enough to send me some of her beautiful work, so I wanted to reciprocate.  I painted this for her, because she loves acorns and draws them often.  Other friends have sent me work too and honestly I have been remiss.  I have not sent them work in return.  That is because I really don't think of anyone wanting a gift of my illustrations.  I was going to send Ces something that I had already done, but couldn't think of an image that I thought that she would want.
     So my dear friends, if you have sent me work in the past or even if you haven't, and you would like an illustration from me, please email me and I would be honored to send something to you.  I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season. You all are the best!

So, just some fun and playfulness. I was taking a little break on my projects and playing around in painter 12 and photoshop.  I rarely find time to post for Illustration Friday lately, so its nice when I can find time to do one.  Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments :)  Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving.
