This summer has gotten off to great start...I have completed two portraits for two wonderful families.  Each portrait is graphite on paper.  I have begun a large commission piece that I am really excited about...a painting! Photos to come as soon as it is completed! 

Today's New Doodle and A GIVEAWAY!

Today's Doodle of the Day is in honor of SPRING being here in full force! I'm an avid gardener, so this piece is just what I needed to celebrate the abundance of growth going on outdoors. :)

ALSO:  Music City Moms is hosting a giveaway for a chance to win a custom piece by THE HEARTH! Make sure to enter soon, the drawing will be this week! :)  http://musiccitymoms.net/forum/contests-a-giveaways/2239-the-hearth-custom-artwork-giveaway

HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!

Today's Doodle! :)

Today's doodle isn't a commission, it's purely a happy little drawing that came only from my sporadic need to draw an elephant! :) it's 11x14 and is prismacolor on paper. :) ENJOY! 

Today's New Doodle and a quadruple commission!

I recently had the opportunity to give back in my own small way to someone who has influenced me in more ways than I can count:  my high school teacher. :)  I made a very special 'doodle' for her, and am excited to send it her way.  I also was able to complete a quadruple commission for a family in New York....I was given the honor of creating each one of their children a special piece of art with their name on it.  All work is prismacolor on paper. :) 

A Doodle A Day Today: Meet Rockadoodle!

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon drawing with an incredible artist (and my fabulous friend) Randy. (please visit http://righthandillustrator.wordpress.com/ to see his amazing work!)  Unfortunately, I was having one of those days....I couldn't draw!! uggghh! I tossed out two drawings, and really ended the day with only one small (unfinished) savable sketch....Completely discouraged, I returned home to surprisingly find a 'second wind' so to speak...and had the urge to draw something different. A few hours later, here he is: Meet Rockadoodle! This piece is prismacolor and acrylic on canvas. :) Such a relief to end the day on a happy note with a doodle that surprised me!

A Doodle A Day x 3! :)

I have just recently finished three new "doodles," all in prismacolor on paper. The third piece is for a sweet friend who has a daughter with the middle name JOY. :) 

First Commission of 2012!

I just had the honor of drawing a portrait of my sweet friend Emily's two children. This was my first ever portrait in graphite, and I am quite pleased! I HOPE SHE LOVES IT!!
