Creative Tuesdays - Children

Michael's Stores (the Arts and Crafts retailer) is running an art challenge in the US and Canada if anyone's interested!

Welcome to Creative Tuesdays!  Michael's current theme is 'Children'.  This piece is called 'Horse Love', done in my (9" x 12") sketchbook in watercolour crayon and pencil.  It's based on a recent photograph of my niece and seemed to fit well with our CT theme.  I had done a portrait here of her and my brother when she was a baby.

Paint Party Friday - Elephant Love

Michael's Stores (the Arts and Crafts retailer) is running an art challenge in the US and Canada if anyone's interested!

Welcome to Eva and Kristin's Paint Party Friday!  I am calling this piece 'Elephant Love', done in my art journal (8 1/2" x 11")  in watercolour crayon.  It was inspired by a photo I saw in the newspaper.

Creative Tuesdays - Stars

Michael's Stores (the Arts and Crafts retailer) is running an art challenge with fabulous prizes, if you live in the US or Canada.

Welcome to Michael's Creative Tuesdays.  The current theme is 'Stars'.  My mixed media piece represents the hopes and dreams we all have, spilling from the hand.  May they all come true for each of us!  Don't forget to add hard work, strength and determination to the mix and above all, believe!

Daughter L helped me glue gun the little (gold and silver) stars over my journal page (8 1/2" x 11").  The hand is done in watercolour pencil, outlined with a waterproof marker.  I ended up showing a couple of photos as they look better than the scanned version.
