Yellow Bird

Well here we are starting a new year... 2015.... I love how that number sounds, way better than 2014. May this year be filled with art, happiness, the accomplishing of productive thing's. For me I keep my eyes on the prize,and hope to always, always do my best at whatever task's and responsibilities I have. In between the work art refreshes me and keep's the creative side from being overwhelmed by the daily tasks. It takes planning to make time for art just like anything else you find important , but it is well worth it and a true enjoyment. Yellow bird is another page in my sketchbook and I hope this year allows for many more bird's and such.

Happy Tuesday!

El Tigre

Ever since I saw Pee Wee's Big Adventure I wanted his awesome tiger he sported on the handle bars of his bike. I've looked online an haven't found one thus far..bummer. Meantime I love tiger's and old circus animals and images, probably because my great grandfather was a lion trainer and his son my grandfather was a monkey trainer and did wonderful shows and was an artist as well who painted his own prop's and scenery. It was a child's dream to spend time with my grandpa and be behind the scenes with him at the zoo. Anyhoo I'm getting all nostalgic and I just really wanted to come up with a fun tiger drawing that I can possibly print on fabric and make myself a garment. Here's a few with some potential, either way I enjoyed this days sketch.

Birdie on a Bottle

I'm a bird lover, so no doubt you will see many in my new sketchbook project. I feed lots of little tweet's on my back deck and thus have constant inspiration. My Grammy and I made little terrarium's and other little nature craft's when I would come stay  over and this watercolor remind's me of those lovely times with her.

Happy Tuesday!
