A Day for Moms
IF- Hierarchy

This piece came together as a series of happy accidents. The khaki and red colors speak to the military theme. The background is smeary like a dirty window or one that is streaked with rain. All that we know about this soldier is his numeric label which is backwards and nearly unreadable. Despite questionable barracks, this young fellow is fresh-faced and appears in good spirits. We can only hope for the best for him.

Transparency transfer

Both the woman and butterfly were rubbed onto a painted background using a bone folder and a transparency that had been printed on my inkjet printer. My printer was out of ink and so both images printed in red only. Thank goodness for Photoshop and color correction! I noticed that it was starting to look like she had a wing on the right side so I pasted another 'wing' in on the left. I love doing transfers and can't wait to try more.

Illustration Friday - Time

It's time for LOVE... and wine, and chocolate and strawberries!!
On second thought, I've always got time for those. I've been doing more of what I call 'scratch paintings' where I use up scraps, paint, glue various papers and scribble in pencil. They come out kind of random but when scanned they make quick backgrounds for my illustrations.
Preschool Valentines
My nearly 4 year old daughter and I worked on her cards this week for her party at school. She wrote the word "Love" and drew the flower. I made the heart and we printed out on white label paper. We both painted the hearts with acrylic paint and stuck them on some ripped music sheets that were mounted on printed cardstock. She signed her name on the back and now they are ready for giving.We had lots of fun and she's super excited to hand them out.
