No Missteps

 


I have been playing around with watercolor and had fun shading this piece in different colors.  I am happy with how it has turned out and found the perfect frame for it.  It has been sold in support of Medical Mercy.  Thanks for looking!

The King of Conster-nation


Marketing a piece is its own time commitment.  Lately I have been creating a number of small pieces for trade.  This is definitely a multi-media piece-- watercolor, distress ink, alcohol markers, gouache and Posca pen. It is an ACEO, so is 2.5 x 3.5 inches. I am happy with how it turned out. Hope it brings a smile!

Nothing but Love

 


I have been working in ACEO size lately (2.5 x 3.5 inches).  I got some new, decent, watercolor paper and some distressed ink as well.  This is distressed ink, watercolor and acrylic ink on watercolor paper.  It has been sold in support of KCS Animal Rescue.  Thanks for looking!

They call me Sarah, but that's not what I call myself

 


I have shifted to using watercolor lately hoping to save myself some time when working on these smaller pieces-- it hasn't helped...  I still fuss and fuss and fuss with a piece because of all the little imperfections.  The pieces are as stubborn as I am LOL.  This piece has already been sold in support of the Veterans' Foodbank.  It will be going home with a wonderful collector who lives in the Crowsnest Pass.  She will dwell in a house of angels.  Thanks for stopping by!

This piece was commissioned by my sister and is on its way to Idaho.  It is acrylic, ink, and torn paper on mixed media paper.  Funds will be used to support artists still living and working in the Ukraine.  Thanks for looking!

Rabbit Roo

 


I am really happy with how he turned out.  I used acrylic, ink and torn paper to pull him together.  He is happily on his way to Idaho and has been sold in support of artists still living and working in the Ukraine.  Thanks for hopping by!

Visionary


This little ACEO is off to join her sister in the Crowsnest Pass.  She has been purchased in support of artists still living and working in the Ukraine.  Thanks for dropping in!
 

Lucy (Big Brushes) has found a home

 


While I have loved having her watch over me in my studio, this angel has found her forever home.  She is off to live in the Crowsnest Pass.  All proceeds will be donated to the Calgary Food Bank.  Thanks for following along.

Busy Girl



I am very grateful that an Australian artist loved this little ACEO and purchased it in support of artists still living and working in the Ukraine.  I haven't had a lot of time to be creative lately, but am happy to have been able to make time for some smaller pieces.  Thanks for looking!

Stepping Out

 


With my mom being sick, I won't likely have a lot of time for being creative.  This little piece will be traded to the same artist as my recent dog drawing... Hope it brings a smile!

Getting It Together

 


I recently joined an ATC Trading Card Group on Facebook.  I had seen some wonderful chicken ATCs and asked if the artist would consider a trade for this card--she said yes, so this should soon be headed to the US. As always, it was a process-- graphite, pencil crayon, watercolor paint, Posca pen, acrylic paint and torn paper on watercolor paper.  Thanks for looking!

Busy Bee

 


I have been busy with bees.  I have made a number of ornaments and some wooden hearts lately with a bee theme.  Some have been sold for SEVA and some have been sold in support of the Food Bank.  These will be sold in support of a charity of the buyer's choosing.  Thanks for your support!

Spirit Bear

 


I had fun creating the bear itself and then stressed completely over the totem element...  Never sure where the creative process will take me, be always happy to have something find its way.  I am hoping to sell this piece in support of the Veterans' Food Bank.  Thanks for taking a look!

A Wintery Night

 


I had fun creating this little ACEO on my cyanotype print paper.  I decided it has a Van Gogh feel to it, hence the title.  It has already been sold in support of charity.  Thanks for stopping by!

Boo Kin Walking

 


This piece has been almost 20 years in the making (LOL).  I created and bisque fired the clay head almost 20 years ago and it was going to be for a night light... "Fast" forward to today and I find myself playing with branches and wire.  I was tempted to keep him, but he has already been sold for the Food Bank.  Thanks for stopping by!

Looking For A Forever Home

 


I just finished this piece and am hoping to sell it in support of the Food Bank.  As usual, I stressed over every stroke and rubbed off probably more paint than I left on.  I should definitely practice more of this style so I can skip the rubbing off at some point (LOL).  Thanks for having a look!

Moonlight Messenger

 


So much for a loose, light-handed approach to a painting...  I totally agonized over every stroke in this piece (LOL).  At any rate, I got it to the point that I could live with it.  Now it is looking for a new home in support of the Food Bank.  Hopefully it will call out to some art loving heart!  Thank you for taking time to check out what I have been up to.

Dream Piece

 


I really like how this piece turned out.  It is made from pine, handmade collaged papers, paint, wire, amethyst and glass beads.  The colors are more vibrant than in the photo.  It has already been sold in support of Doctors Without Borders.  Thanks for stopping by!

Faenza Fawn

 


Somehow I always seem to make extra work for myself (LOL).  This piece is acrylic paint, Kroma Crackle, encaustic, ink and chalk pastel on paper.  It is part of my never but always as planned art process-- basically I keep going until I have a piece I can live with.  I am hoping to sell this for Doctors Without Borders in support of the earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria.  Thank you for stopping by!
