More Ideas

Here is a photo I took in the spring. I plan (sometime in the near future) to paint this. I think it will make for a really interesting subject.

Shop at ETSY

In case you didnt know, my artwork is for sale on the internet through ETSY.

Take a look at the newest editions. There are 6 Artist Trading Cards, all original watercolor and ink paintings, 2.5 by 3.5 inches each. These pieces have not even been added to my website yet!

Too many ideas.

As a treat for my website visitors I thought I would begin posting photos and ideas I have for future artworks.

Like this one. A columbine from my garden. I intensified the colours in this photo because I want to start working with more blue in my paintings. Normally this flower is violet and white.


Hey, here is a challenge. Let me know if YOU have an idea for a piece of artwork. If your dieing to see me tackle a particular subject, or if you have an interesting quote, word, story, myth that you think would be fun for me to tackle let me know. I just might do it :]

These are portraits of me done by artist James McPartlin. You can see the full versions on his website http://www.jamesmcpartlin.com

Update: James is going to be creating a new portrait of me. Keep an eye here or his website for the finished work.
