I'm so excited to share this original traditional toned drawing, "Corazón Onírico" (Dreamy Heart). Created with colored pencils on beautiful toned paper, this one-of-a-kind piece captures a magical moment between a sweet, big-eyed Latina girl and her unicorn.

If you look closely, you may see my pencil lineart for my big eye Harriet Tubman painting that I've transferred to the wood panel.  Alex sanded the panel for me for a more smooth surface to paint on, but there are still some rough areas.

Portrait Art of Me by the Wonderous Rose Adare

When artist Rose Adare had her campaign to fund her west coast tour, I jumped at the chance to buy a portrait by her.  Rose did this art based on a photograph of me that I have in my auctions near the bottom here.  It is drawn in pastels.  I gave this portrait as one of my Christmas gifts to my mother, she was thrilled!  To see more of Rose's extraordinary art, please visit her on facebook here and her webpage is here.  She is an amazing and inspiring artist!

I met Christopharo years ago through his brother, artist Alex Ledante, and I have been an admirer of his art; but, it is only recently that I have had the honor of seeing some of his most recent works firsthand.

Christopharo has some of his traditional art up at Loft Beats in Pomona as part of a group show and has a solo showing of his 3d artwork in the foyer at Club 340.  The shows are running until the end of the month at least.

The art of Christopharo has a strong traditional foundation with an innovative edge.  Both his traditional art and his digital art sing with beauty.

With all of his contemporary flair, his art has a classic art nouveau quality that I am deeply drawn to.

If you have the opportunity to see his 3d art with 3d glasses, it is well worth it; but, even without the glasses, his art is powerful and lovely.
