Inktober 2021

 



Poms on the brain

 



























































2023 UPDATE:
I worked on these in the beginning of 2023, repainting a lot and adding even red nail polish in an attempted to get the deep jeweled saturated color I wanted. I titled them PomPom Studies 1 & 2. #2 was shown at MFA's Circle Gallery (Annapolis) as part of my wall in the 2023 Mélange exhibition, and #1 was accepted into MFA's 2023 Member show (also at Circle Gallery).

Inktober 2021!

It’s that time of year again! Here are the prompts and the first 4 I’ve done. 














Playing with pomegranates

Playing catch-up here on the blog. How amazing that I posted every day for a year! As I start spending more time on my next commission, I am doodling pomegranates as they are meaningful to the client. 




+ 2 more house watercolors

 After doing the acrylic painting of the John Dodd house for that commission, I wanted to see if I could do a watercolor. I ended up doing two. The client chose the acrylic, but I’m pleased with these and they were great learning experiences. 











Can you tell what is different between the two besides the coloring of the trees? One of these things is not like the other….


Lookin’ pretty good in a frame! The acrylic is the one that’s been sent to Sacramento  I’ve entered the watercolor for the Maryland Federatipn of Art’s upcoming Light And Shadow exhibition. Fingers crossed!

Beginning a new commission…

 Playing with an idea for a #contemporary #kitchen piece based on an old family recipe that makes triangular #cookies with fruit centers.
