My favorite way to spend a moonlit evening...with music...
strumming and singing!

School is Cool
I made this for a gal that collects 'row houses.' She asked for a school house theme. The funny little girl cracks me up. She's actually pasted on with a raised backing - my attempt at a little 3D effect!

Darkness Peering
KaHeD's request for the Summer PAT (Pick-a-Theme Trading Cards Swap) was a crow. Sorry, couldn't resist the Poe quote (ok...so I really didn't try too hard...).

Lemur on the Half Shell
Lemurkat, a friend from IllustratedATCs.com, asked for a rendering of a Lemur in a classical setting, akin to her 'Mona Lemur' painting that she adores. So, here, with apologies to Botticelli's Venus, is our demure little Lemur being blown in to shore on her shell. Click on Image to Enlarge.
Janice
My friend, Lattezar, requested (in a "PAT," Pick-a-Theme trade) an interpretation of a muppet. Here's Janice - I always loved her attitude..."Peace, man..."Click on Image to Enlarge
Portrait of IceKat
Summer PAT (Pick a Theme) for Icekat, who requested an interpretation of her amazing, and wonderfully complex character of the same name.

Eve
I doodled this bookmark for my sweet daughter who was reading, while lounging on the couch in my studio as I worked. The book?... "Eve" by Ted Dekker. Sweet Daughter loves mysteries! :)

Fairies!
Is it just me (...smelling too many uncapped markers), or does the first one look a little like she could be Eartha Kitt's relative? Anyhow, with this little set of fairy-girls, I had tons of fun experimenting with my prismacolor markers. I just added a few new colors to my collection. Can you guess that the soft green was one of them? :) Interesting side note: I have some markers in my assortment that are over 10 years old - and they still work great!! Pretty cool!

Complimentary Cats
These little felines are on their way to Australia where they will be part of an ATC swap called, "Complimentary Cats!" As you might have guessed, the object of making 'complimentary cats' was to create a color scheme with complimentary colors using cats as the subject matter. Fun, fun!! I enjoyed making 'Grape Kitty,' Strawberry Cat,' and 'Tangerine Cat.' I can't wait to see what my partners have done!

Respect the Tail!
July 1/1 swap created for ANg, whose profile states that she likes Mermaids with large, a-hem... shall we say "backsides."
I guess I got the big butt right, since my friend's hubbie suggested I call her a "Mer-whale." To which I say, "Hey, dude...
Respect the Tail!"

Remembering Molly
I don't know why I haven't experimented more with watercolor pencils. Had lots of fun with them on this. Unfortunately, the scan doesn't capture the subtle olive color of the background. Click Image to Enlarge

Gypsies!
Did these for the Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves ATC swap over at Illustratedatcs.com, and after seeing the assortment of hobos, snake charmers and street people that the other artists painted, I can't wait to get my returns!! I love swapping!
