Seeds in the wind

From Illustration Friday challenge scattered, which my thoughts have been...I am still trying to do at least one painting a week.

Making Chocolate Chip cookies with Mom

I posted the pencil sketches for this a while back. I've finally finished the art. Will be going up on my web site during the week.

Frankie Frankenstein

As a young monster, Frankie loved Halloween best of all & dressing as an angel was his favorite thing to do. He just needed to learn the difference between good and evil (his heart was still young and pure and held no evil thoughts)...

The New Kid...

The new kid is seated in the first seat in the first row...I don't think this is going to work for Fred. He looks a little frustrated!
I'm still working without Photoshop & have to edit my images in my camera's program, but I'm getting used to it, so it doesn't take as long. I'm still having trouble creating small icon sections of the work (for Illustration Friday and for Childrens Illustrators. Anyone have any suggestions? I can't seem to figure out how to make a perfect square and at the size needed without spending a long time with trial and error. Also, getting a good contrast isn't working in this program, so I'm having to work my piece harder for a better contrast (maybe that's a good thing!).

Happy First Birthday

Alli was very fond of chocolate. When her mother put the cake in front of her, she didn't hesitate to dig right in.

Since some house cleaning was done with this anniversary, I'm going to post this on my blogs with a general invitation for watercolor children's artist to come over and join. 25 seems like a good number, and if I remember correctly we are a few short.

Please stop by my blog and let me know what you think of my daily doodle challenge. I've missed a few days here and there, but going into month two, I am still going strong!
