Mini-Guide to Limited Palettes

As part of my Kickstarter for SKETCHING HERE & EVERYWHERE, I added a guide to mixing colors as a stretch goal. Many people who are experimenting with the mini-palette asked what colors I liked.

IT IS FINALLY AVAILABLE AS A FREE DOWNLOAD!

Whoooo Goes There! Many Paintings of Owls...

I recently did some illustrations for a book about owls. It was a very enjoyable project and I was given permission to share some of them.

There is something enjoyable about illustrating raptors, owls in particular. Perhaps the attraction is in their big luminous eyes.

The book will not be out for a long time. I will post when they are available.

Deer and Squirrel! (Or a whole lot going on!)

I am really busy painting at the moment and I have a lot of exciting projects in the works but it will be a while before I can show any of it (next year) so in the meantime, a couple more cool paintings from Little Red Bat. I love the pose of red in the deer one, but she is very tiny...

New Items in Etsy Shop!

I just uploaded a bunch of new images to my Etsy shop. You can see the rest by clicking the link in the sidebar. All the little paintings are framed and ready to hang. I will add more as I have pockets of time. The subject matter is pretty random. I sketch what I feel like at that moment.

The frames are an eclectic collection mostly picked up at garage sales.
