In the Depths of Thought

Over the past several weeks I've been juggling a lot of work and grabbing a moment here and there to take an online class from the amazing Pauline Agnew. I've taken several of her courses and I always feel that I grow as an artist under her teaching. I'll be blogging about more of my pieces in the coming days.

Fancy Red Hat

Sometimes life calls for a fancy red hat.

 

This was created on a piece of scrap wood that I'd used as a paint pallet and a pen tester for quite some time. It is rich with texture. I stared at it for the longest time before I added the face and other details and the red at the top kept insisting that it become a hat.

Original available here for $25.

Makes Getting Things Done More Fun!

I came across a small spiral notebook that was being discarded and I snagged it. I lay down some simple flowers and leaves and, ta-da...total re-do! I love crossing things off of a "to do" list and my new little notebook will make that even more fun!
