Two New Works in Progress

Here is a peak at a couple of new pieces that are currently in progress.


Dining Out


Splashing Thru the City

These were scribbles that were created as I began the illustration of South Broadway. They'll soon become finished scribbles-sketches.

Bright & Ready for Spring

My WILDflowers are featured in this treasury!

Seasonal WILDflowers - 05

These flowers are changing colors and have gone WILD! They love life and want to be FREE, so love the life that they show the world. And whenever your life is less colorful, turn to these flowers to brighten your day. Be colorful! Buy yourself a bouquet for the changing seasons.

This original drawing is now FOR SALE in my shop.

Changing Seasons

Here is a new drawing for the changing seasons.
Seasons change. Lives change. Colors change. Interests change. Oftentimes those things may only appear to change. Instead, they simply renew as the trees do.

Changing Vines

Times change. Vines change. Whether the vines reflect the seasons of change in a realistic manner or not, they reflect the changes in one's life.

This is a new scribble-sketch that is now available for sale in my shop.

Home from the Market

She walks to the market and gets her goodies for the week. This is the only way cooking seems fun!

This new drawing is currently hanging in True Food here in Nyack for my Local Show. It's matted and framed and measures 9" x 9". If you're interested in purchasing this piece, feel free to contact me. [SOLD]

Going Home

These critters are on their way home from the city. It's been a long day!

It's now available as a print in two sizes: 5 x 7   or   8x 10


I've created each print using a high-resolution 600 DPI scan and printed it on French's 100% recycled acid-free cardstock.

I created this scribble-sketch as a preliminary drawing for a huge painting that I'm working on for the wee little babe that's growing more and more each day. I enjoyed it enough that I thought I'd share it with you, too.

On another note: I'm excited that I just received my order from the French Paper Co. This means that I can get my wholesale orders completed and shipped out. Plus, I'm creating several new prints that are being added to my shop daily.

Scribbles Buttons with a Hand-drawn Art Card

I've just begun offering these Scribbles-Sketches buttons with a hand-drawn art card that you can collect, frame, or use as a bookmark. Each drawing is unique, and it may be a surprise which one you receive. However, you get to choose the buttons!

Also keep in mind that I currently have a limited time offer on certain items in my shop on behalf of Mother's Day. The sale will continue through Mother's Day, but if you want something for your mom, you need to order it by tomorrow.

Expecting

Big news: My husband and I are expecting our first baby. I don't look like this yet, but I'm sure I will soon.

Ultrasound Images may be viewed here.

Coffee in the Garden

The seasons are changing and spring is near. Soon I'll be sitting in my garden on the back porch drinking my coffee. Cheers to springtime as it nears!

I created this scribble-sketch late last week and wanted to share that it's now for sale in my shop.

El balón rojo

I haven't been feeling the greatest lately, but El balón rojo has helped to motivate me today. I have a slew of things that I have to complete this week, so wish me luck.

Be sure to have a HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY today! I'll post the labels that I created for our Irish Red soon. And note that I created a new scribble-sketch last week. You can find it here.

a Pain in my Neck

I think I may have a pinched nerve. Basically, I cannot move my neck much. So this tends to cut back on the amount I'll be doing on the computer.

Nonetheless, I just completed a couple of new drawings, and during my time that I'm at the computer, I'll be working on the new packaging for Crunchy Clean. The new scribbles-sketches look a little something like this.

Lumber Jack

WILDflowers - no. 3

...and I'll be adding my submission to the Doodlage contest today.

Wholesale Order

A couple weeks ago, I received my first wholesale order from Sage Green Style, which is an eco-friendly shop that will be opening later this year. I not only sold her my Echinacea Blooms Pink collection, but she also commissioned me to create two other sets for her shop. I'm excited to see how the shop unfolds and what other artists will be showcased there. I'll post again once the shop actually opens. Until then, enjoy these blooming flowers!

Little Time

I've been super busy lately, so there has been little time to post anything new. However, I've been working on a wholesale order, and I'll have artwork from that project to show-and-tell very soon. Plus, I am ready to create a couple new paintings and screen print another design on some t-shirts (and onesies). On top of that, I'll be shipping artwork today and tomorrow; and I should soon be able to announce a new art show that I'll have some work in.

And..... if you didn't realize it yet, I've posted a few new things for sale in my shop. His Worst Day is one of the original pieces that is currently for sale, and more will be available soon.

For now, I must get back to work!
