Over the past few years I have been making toys for my family members. I thought I'd share a few here. These friends stand 4 inches tall and are hand stitched from felt. they often made me laugh out loud as I was making them, their clothing and the items they were carrying. I love love music and musicians make such wonderful painting subjects, so I decided to do a series of paintings. I decided to do a series of dancers. I loved their graceful forms. All are 16x20 on cold pressed watercolor paper. I just sold this painting to my friend. I loved the reference photo which was of her and her daughter 25 years ago. I am glad she liked it. This is my second attempt at this painting. I used cold pressed watercolor paper this time and made it smaller - so 11x14 with a white mat.
I did a series of paintings of grey horses as a structure to remind me of being powerful. Here are a few. They are all on cold pressed watercolor paper. The bottom one is a 3x5" sketch. The other 2 are 16x20. This year I played with wreaths for my holiday cards. I did a bunch of versions. Here are 2 of the best ones.
A friend kindly let me take photos of her, wearing a scarf my friend made, that we used on my friend's facebook page. She looked so beautiful and sweet in this pose, that I had to capture it in a painting.. 16x20 painting on cold pressed watercolor paper.
