This week I need to focus on some wedding stuff… So I will just be posting some of my drawings each day. Nothing special, but I want to keep up the posts :)

I was so happy to have ample time to draw today I went traditional. I really wanted to draw sea turtles after our Hawaii experience, so here they are! Pen, ink and gouache. Hope you have a great weekend!

This was done in an hour, much quicker than I would’ve liked, but I’m off to work! Enjoy.

I tried many new painting techniques with this and I’m fairly happy with it. This was pen and ink, scanned in and digitally colored. I am still trying work around retracing the whole drawing digitally in order to change the line color. I would also like to add transparencies, but for now, this will do.

Whenever I’m packing, my kitty mews at me and tries very hard to unfold my clothes and subsequently my travel plans. I understand though, she hates to see me go, but it’s okay because I always come back.

Sometimes birds crave good music! As I painted this triptych I imagined her strumming alone, with her eyes closed and the birds gathering around her. Do you think she will open her eyes and discover them? Or will they disappear?

I painted this on re-purposed wood over the past month for a show, it was a lot of fun.

Here are some alternate and detail shots :)

We’re leaving on Friday. Meanwhile I have all this work to do – can’t stop daydreaming about it though. I hope when we return I’ll have more time to draw everyday. Busy-ness is overwhelming sometimes.
