 You may have seen these butterflies in previous posts. They are collaged onto paper altered with Citra-Solv and have gold mica flakes added. I wanted to put them in my store but I didn't want to frame them because glass is so difficult to ship. Instead I tried mounting them on artist wood blocks with a gloss varnish and voila! These are kind of cool because you can sit them on a table or shelf or hang them on the wall. They have a saw tooth hanger on the back. It's a much sturdier way to display art!

 Here's a little sketch in my sketch book for Illustration Friday's word, "bicycle". What is it about wheels with spokes that is so much fun? You put wheels with spokes on just about anything and it becomes fun and whimsical. I added some crayon and watercolor. It's one of my favorite low tech techniques.
Happy Easter!!!  I love the way children delight in simple things, like balloons that aren't even helium filled. I'd like to recapture that feeling more often myself. This is my newest painting for my shop. There are 3 more underway. All are based on photos of my own kids when they were little. It's odd, but I find that poor photos translate into more interesting paintings than good ones. I'm glad I hung onto all of them.
