Newest Animal Paintings on Studio Quest

Learned Rhino 

Zebra Lines

Updraft

Still working on a series of fun animal paintings for the fun at heart or a child's room.  Hope to add new ones in now and then.

Blue Elephant

The third in what I hope will be a series of zoo animal prints for kids.  Fun.

Pink Giraffe

Pink Giraffe

What colors go together and why.  I know that there is a color wheel and all the talk about certain colors go together and other don't, but I find that it is far more fun to just go with what feels right.  I know Giraffes are not generally pink, orange and gold but thought it would be fun to make them so.   My goal was to create the "feel" that I had while visiting the zoo as a child. Seeing through the eyes of a child make life anything but boring!

Circus Parade

Flamingo Circus

Flamingo Circus Mixed Media

Flamingo Circus Postcard

Baby Shower Invitation

Just completed the second in what I hope to be a series or circus parade prints.  Each print has an element that shows up in the next print making it ideal to hang together as a set.  I only have two completed at this point and the next will have the elephant's trunk incorporated into it.   I have also include additional works I have created from my original watercolor of Flamingo Circus (a mixed media work a postcard and party invitations) to illustrate that once you complete a work it is not necessarily done!

Canival

Carnival

With summer in full swing and all the fun activities that go with it I just had to play with this photograph.  I used a photo oil paint finish and love the bright bold colors.  Colors that remind me of childhood and fun times.
