Strange Eyes

Yep…just keep seeing owls EVERYWHERE…are they the “thing” right now?
Of course i am just making owls even more popular by drawing ALOT of them,
i find them quick and easy to do…and recognizable by all.
The owl is acrylic paint, ink and old book page text.
I then attached that to an old London road map and tea dyed linen
that i stitched and painted, on cardboard cereal boxes. 8″x11″

Mother Nature

Mother Nature. Thank you for the beautiful spring weather you have given us!
 I could not decide what kind of hair Mother Nature would be happiest wearing…
then I thought, she might like to wear her own creations
like flowers, leaves, grass and yes, even weeds!

Spring Partridge

This 4×6 cardstock started out last December as my Christmas cards,
but after many layers of paint, collage and inks…
I wasn’t luvin’ it…so I put them away for a winter nap..
.and the partridge in a pear tree became flowers in the Spring !

Six Squares

Had an extra book page gesso’d…
So I played around with some watercolors, black conte pencil and black thread on the sewing machine.
(didn’t plan it…but it coordinates with the Winter Trees )

Here are 4 more 4×6 quickies! I purposely made myself not dedicate too much time
to each one. I just randomly used up some bits and pieces in my fodder collection
and put them together…and I think they turned out pretty good…enjoy!

Toadstools and Little Owl

My eldest son’s girlfriend is a collector of owls
(not the tacky, junky, hoarding type…but the tasteful, cute, pretty ones)
…so then I started to see owls EVERYWHERE…
so I had to have one! Thx Mars!

White Daisy Garden

Winter in this part of the world can be very dreary and wet.
Gray skies stay waaaay too long. Cheered it up for me with this one.
