Birds in a field

What could be more fun than taking three white 5" x 7" canvases, painting them three pretty colors ...


... to eventually become these? (For a friend's charity auction; final price, to my friend Becky, $65. Thanks, Becky!)


Creative process: Sometimes messy, always a good time. In the background are some notecards I used for inspiration.

More cartoons, by special request







A few more cartoons, also for a nursery. The first one is probably my favorite! (The shading on the edges is from the scanner; I can master colored pencils, but not technology.)

Back to the Days of Pooh


Catching up: A gift for a friend's baby shower. Little Robbie's nursery theme was, obviously, Winnie the Pooh. These two sides of the unframed canvas were lilac and yellow; the other two sides are blue and green. Not an original quote, but an original design, and really fun to paint! (I am way behind; the baby is more than a year old now!)
