Always trying to figure out profiles; I find them so difficult!

Peacock

Seem to have a bird theme going on, huh?

Confused fowl

We have a whole bunch of peacocks up at my stable, and there were two males that were QUITE intent on showing off their plumage to a few distressed looking chickens. (They clearly had no interest, and were very confused why the male peacocks were trying desperately to impress them). The rooster, however, was completely unconcerned.

Bird Show at Cactus Gallery

Join us this Saturday for the Bird Show at Cactus Gallery in Eagle Rock, CA! I have a few pieces in it- a bit last second, but I'm glad Sandra was able to make room for me so last minute! Here are (some!) of the pieces in the show- they're all sketches/pieces from my blog, but framed / mounted on wood panel and finished a bit more...

Painted Elephant

My submission for this week's Illustration Friday's theme, "Wrinkle." When I thought of wrinkles, I thought of elephants, and was inspired by the chalk ceremonial paintings that are done on elephants in India. Enjoy!

Peacock, color study

Went back to try and re-work the earlier peacock with color, but didn't like the composition, so tried a different angle and approach- really like the marker/ colored pencil combo. Very happy with this result! I need to get some light colored markers for more background color bases (more than yellow, orange and green, anyway)

Living in unpacking world right now- too tired to think too much about what to draw!
