Paula--What I'm Working On At the Moment

One of several projects I'm presently working on is a big batch of black and white line drawings for some Sunday School curriculum, an example seen in the angel, above. I am keeping the images very simple. That's hard for me to do as I have a tendency to over-work things, so this is a good exercise in the "move along now!" style of drawing! It's an on-going project so I will be having fun with these right on up until early December.

What I'm working on at the moment - Anette

At the moment I'm busy working on 2 children's books. I can't tell you much about it yet, but you can read a bit more in my blog.

Here's a sneak peak of one of the sketches of the main character.

Inspiration from August - Anette

I had a lot of fun when I decided to finally make something out of the big canvas I've had stored in my office for way too long. I wanted to do a Jackson Pollock inspired all-over painting, so I put the canvas on the floor and walked around it "throwing" on paint. I definitely need to make this kind of art more often. It was so fun!

Chickadee

The One of A Kind Show has a contest every year to choose the artwork for their reusable shopping bags. I had a quiet week so I whipped up this entry, a chickadee on a branch. I thought it would be nice for winter. I didn't win, but I did win a runner-up prize of two free tickets to the show. I go every year with a friend so I'll be happy to use those.

Contests can give you mixed feelings sometimes but if you look on the positive side, it was a slow day and it motivated me to do some new artwork. Which is always a good thing!
