Afew posts back, I wrote that this picture would not make it as a print. It just didn't translate well onto the computer because some of the mixed media elements didn't scan well. Thanks to some encouragement and some digital altering it has worked! I like the digital version as much as the original. I should never say never! Sometimes I hate computers, but mostly I love them.
Also, I have created a link to the Ripplesketches blog. If you want to see my art cards there, just click on the picture below of the jellyfish. It's not too late to buy some cards there and contribute to the gulf cleaning effort. There is some great art still available.

Kelly Light is an illustrator from Long Island who has come up with a wonderful idea for helping the wildlife affected by the Gulf Coast oil spill. Artists donate art cards; 2.5 by 3.5 inch original works of art, which can be purchased from her blog Ripple. All the proceeds go to help the wildlife AND the cards are only $10 each! What a fantastic idea! Here are my two submissions. They are watercolor, marker and the oil droplets are made from a lino cut stamp. They can be purchased at the Ripple blog. Go get them!
I was considering making a print of this picture and when I saw the Illustration Friday word this week I thought it was perfect. Here you can see the light waves from the moon bouncing up and down. The grass and the water are also rippling. Even the tree is waving. Wave, ripple bounce...I suppose they're all related.
I just found out about the Ripple Project so I will do a small art card for them too. |
