A fox and her babe

I have not been painting this week...since I am working on an illustration class which is taking up my time (but very enjoyable).




I painted this a couple of weeks ago...



 
 
 
Happy Thanksgiving everyone !
Have a blessed day

Working on more....

I am taking a class at Craftsy. It is by a children's illustrator Lynne Chapman and has helped me to loosen up a bit.
I love to paint but always want to realistically depict the animal or scene.

This class is  about illustrations that suggest the animal and then giving them human characteristics.

Craftsy has a lot of classes (this is not a paid endorsement) and they are worth checking out.


 
I have an idea for a fox so I will be working on that next. It will be a total departure from my norm...but that is how we grow...right ? Step out and find out !
 
Have a blessed day !

A few more Alphabet paintings

Hope you are having a good week ! I went to a knitting group yesterday, I knit on and off and I know going to this group will increase my production-plus there is a great social factor !

I have painted the alphabet and sell the prints ($10.00).

 They all started because my sister wanted them for her playroom in her basement for her grandchildren...



Thought I would put a few more on the blog...

Have a blessed day !

Children's Paintings

I recently started working on paintings that could be put in a child's  bedroom or play room.

The first one I painted is a slightly "fractured " version of Hey Diddle Diddle.

Needless to say they are exhausted from the night of folly and... well the picture tells the rest.


Of course there is no dish or spoon on the picnic blanket !

This painting is available for $45.00. I am going to see if I can make a few prints ($10.00 each).

Have a blessed day !

Bella

I have a good friend whose cat past away recently and now she has just one little cat named Bella.


 I painted a portrait on a  rock (smooth and tumbled from Lake Champlain) of her Bella.


On the back I wrote the word Blessed.


Hope you have a blessed day !
