Wildfire 🚲🏇

I’m very excited about my latest artwork that I completed last week. Why? Because I managed to get the proportions right without using a photo reference! I did have to look up the ratio of the size of cannon to forearm when I saw that I had the cannons too long. Then I saw also that the hooves were not big enough. Because this is pretty much a watercolor painting (a tiny bit of colored pencil on the kid’s pants), I was able to make adjustments and was excited to do so without damaging the paper as sometimes happens when things are overworked. 

When posting to Instagram, I was looking for music to put with the post and came across the song Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphy thar I knew from the 70s.

 Here’s another analog watercolor painting enhanced in Using Procreate. This is from my Tarot Card project  but I put an apple on the coffee cup sleeve just for you!

And the original

Original is on the right  I think I may add back the yellow to the moon....

 I just really like this detail and the composition of it cropped this way.

 “Dear Santa, I have been extra good this year. So I have a long list of presents that I want. Please note the size and color of each item. If it seems too complicated, make it easy on yourself: just send money. How about tens and twenties? All I want is what I... I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share.” —A Charlie Brown Christmas 1965

Hi all.  Well, the video from yesterday went up on the site ok, but my email was blank when I got it. Bummer. I’m sorry if you thought there was no post yesterday. I’d figured if it was good online it’d be good in the email... and my emails don’t come until late evening, so I didn’t catch it. But it’s here on the site if you want to check!

Oops. + Ghana detail

Sorry folks. I’d written the post, but forgot to add the art when I finished! That’s what I get for working late. SMH. So here’s a bonus, a detail from the piece, + two pieces of wisdom/info: 1- Painting feathers is hard! 2- Yes, the necklace pendant elephant is made from a fork.

Just a quick note that I have added a couple of pages to the Blog website, showing some of my non-apple art. The jewelry in this photo are all gifts from my bestie while she lived in Ghana. So of course I stuck them in an apple.
