Happy Black History Month! Big Eye Original Garden Guardian Fairy Painting...

 

This big eyed garden guardian and I would like to wish you a Happy Black History Month.  

It's the tail end of Black History Month, but I'd still like to share this lovely maiden with you. I believe in the beauty of all skin tones.  I painted her for the Diversity and Inclusion: The Influence of African-American Art in Southern California at the Ontario Museum of Art Exhibit.  When I did a little research, I found that it was traditional in Black History to put blue bottles in the garden to protect it.  I decided I wanted to paint one of my garden guardians for the show with a blue orchid as a connection to the protection of the blue bottles.

Happy Valentine's Day! Original Big Eye Harley Quinn Portrait of a Renegade Painting...

 

Harley Quinn and I would like to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!

"Portrait of a Renegade" is one of my most recent paintings and the original big eye painting is spoken for, but prints and LE ACEO prints are available upon request.  This was my first time painting graffiti and one of my first Holbein Duo Water Soluble oil paintings.  I very much enjoyed the process.

Rough Tiger Sketch Refined a Bit... Chinese Lunar New Year Animal Art

 

I'm pretty behind this year on my Chinese Lunar New Year Animal for the upcoming year.  Here is my rough sketch of the tiger refined a bit.  The paws have grown a bit since you have seen him last...

Next comes transferring to the panel and working on the background.

Happy New Year! Three Rough Sketches of Tigers...

 This year I'm ringing in the new year by working on a tiger painting for Chinese New Year.  Here are three rough sketches, I've decided to refine the one in the lower right.  Mainly the paws are a bit smol.  It's been a while since I've completed a painting, this one will be a challenge, but I love painting animals, so it's one that I will enjoy.

Happy New Year Wishes!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Original Angel Cat Animal Painting...

 It is Christmas day and a hush has fallen over the neighborhood, which isn't always the case.  For me there is beauty in it.  I hope you have a merry Christmas if you celebrate it and happy holidays that bring you some measure of joy.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving! My Photograph of a Grateful Squirrel at Descanso Gardens...

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

It occurs to me that I don't have a lot of fall art, but I did take this photo at Descanso Gardens of a very grateful squirrel. They were quite happy that the people were putting squash decorations out, or rather snackos...

I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

Happy Halloween! Big Eye Fantasy Scarecrow Toned Drawing...

 

This big eye scarecrow and I would like to wish you a happy Halloween!

She's a toned drawing that I am working on.  I'd also like to make her into a painting, but I ran out of time for this year.  Although I do love Halloween all year long...
