Illustrations for a friend

My friend asked me to draw her a few little illustrations for a story she  wrote. These are fairly small, and just drawn with graphite and a black fine-liner, but I thought you might still enjoy seeing them.

It has been a long time since I've drawn anything just with pencils and graphite. I forgot how fun it is... but I also miss the color and depth I can give a picture by adding watercolor! We will see what comes of this little project... 

Best of 2011 paintings

It is fun for me to go through my now fat folder of ACEO paintings to see which ones I am happiest with. While there are others (such as some of the flower paintings, the chameleons, and the paintings of my boys) that I love very much, the paintings that have sold the most prints on Etsy are the following: 

Thank you all for a great year of supporting my art. I hope you keep on checking back here, as well as in my Etsy shop (see link on the right of my page) and my facebook page to see what new originals and prints I am creating and selling. 

Oh, and did you know that I will soon start selling some of the originals from my Everyday Art project?! If you have a favorite that you are interested in purchasing, please eMail me to see if it's available...
