Illustration Friday: Caution
Well, raccoons always say to me, "feed me, cuddle me." However, I know that's absolutely the wrong thing to do with a wild animal, so I must always caution myself not to listen to that sweet beseeching look in their eyes!

Two flower sketches
I did these two sketches on two different days, the first one yesterday and the second today. I didn't have the opportunity to post the first yesterday, so I decided to include it today.

Leda and the Swan, my gothic lolita angel version
I started this painting in 2003 by doing two drawings based on Leonardo da Vinci's unbelievably gorgeous drawings. I then did a pencil sketch to canvas inspired very loosely by his.

teddy bear with a rose painting
Allow me to introduce Smalbert:
The painting is an 8x10 acrylic on canvas. I painted him as a gift for my mother, she loves both teddy bears and roses very much.
As a challenge to myself, I've decided to try and do more sketching. Here is one of Smalbert's friends:
