Stockings

Starting to think holidays. This looks lovely as a print. It was done in gouache and digital color.

Words of Birds

For something different, I did some practice of my hand drawn texts. They are all names of birds. I like the way these words look as a repeating pattern. There is a little image of this below.

Postcards for Anthropologie kids event

These ghosts and the spooky llama were used for postcards to a children’s pumpkin painting event at the Anthropologie store in PA where I work. For me, its too cool to see my Illustration work representing our Anthropologie store in this small way.

Spooky Llama

A spooky Llama with a mask, holding a basket of pumpkins. Painted in gouache.

transportation

Just a quick little gouache illustration. I realized that the water skier’s one ski isn’t really in the water but I feel this is what it would look like if I was trying to water ski.

Beneath the sea

Sun Flowers

My most recent painting of figures. Gouache and acrylic on watercolor paper. I’m happy with how vibrant this piece turned out. I wanted the background to look more painterly so I layered down different yellows and oranges of gouache paint. Originally I did not have the blue sky in this painting. The top was just additional yellow. It was a little to much yellow in the piece, so I covered it in blue sky. The sky complemented the yellow and orange well. Two small clouds I added to make it more sky-like. I hope to get a few more paintings underway soon. Maybe so fall inspired things.
