Here are some cute little creatures I have been drawing and painting lately. At first I thought they had deer like antlers, but now I think that they are soft and that they move. These little creatures remind me of axolotls, all soft, squishy and cute.

Deep Sea Mermaid Colour Study

Yesterday I dug up an older drawing that I had been wanting to expand on. It’s a study of several deep-sea merpeople. I knew they would have glowing bioluminescent spots, but I couldn’t decide if they should be pale or dark, so here is a colour test of the pale version. I’m going to do a dark version as well, then perhaps a larger picture.
I also did this sketch of Tia last night while in bed. It’s from a picture I took of her as Mz. Honey.
Flights of Fancy

I have been hard at work the last three months working on my latest show, Flights of Fancy. I think it turned out pretty good. It is a collection of my watercolor storybook illustration style work, lots of pieces that I have posted here and a few new ones. I also made glittery clouds that hang in the window, and added branches dripping with stars and sparkles. In the centre of the room, there is a plinth that has cute little moss-scapes. There’s so much glitter everywhere! The opening reception was really nice and well attended even with the rain. We had a lovely spread of food, with home-made mini cupcakes and banana bread, candy, lemon squares and cream puffs along with the usual crackers and cheese and stuff. Yum! Yum! Everyone seemed to like it. It was really awesome to see kids eyes light up when they see it. That makes me really happy!
oh and some mushrooms. The largest red on is the size of my hand! The single on is slightly larger than my thumb tip.

Checking the theme for Illustration Friday today, I saw that it was the word “journey”. Then I turned around and saw that this painting I finished a couple of days ago fits perfectly! Yea! It’s going to be a part of an upcoming show of my illustrative watercolors and some installation pieces.
I am not going to say anything about it because I would like you to tell me the story that you see.
click on the pic to make it a bit bigger.

The Glass bead making class was so much fun!!! I can’t wait to make more. This first picture is of the beads that I made the first day.
I made the red beads for January 15.
I have not picked up the day 2 beads, but they are pretty cute. I made a purple octopus for January 16 (my B-day!) unfortunately, I dropped it and he is now a quadrapus. 😦 I’ll post it when I get them back.

Hello!
I am back and I am posting a picture. Yippi! So today, I was finally able to give Megan her birthday present. That’s it below. She loved it! She had the exact reaction I had hoped for.
