Easton Chalk-The-Block Event

Every year  for the past three years my sister and I have participated in the Easton Chalk- the -Block event held in September. This year my sister and I decided to do a piece around a Botanical theme. My sister did research on various plants and choose a plant that is very unique. It's called the Corpse flower which stinks and it only blooms once a year. We thought it would be fun to draw this flower and incorporate some kind of humorous aspect to the piece. The end result ended up being the flower with a Gnome reading a book and holding his nose while seated on a mushroom right next to the stinky flower. The piece was 10 feet by 10 feet. Below is the finished piece.

Snow White and the rest of the gang

 I am proud to say I finished another art piece for my fairy tale series. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a great fairytale. So many films have been made of the tale with there own little twist. I decided I would create my snow white in a more abstract manner to give you the jets of the tale with as few elements as possible. After completed the snow white piece I decided it would be interesting to see all the pieces together as a college on the wall. I was so excited to see them all together on the wall. I think this would be a lovely collection in a child's bedroom with the various tales and frames. So fun!! Would love to do one for Belle and on one for Frozen but I still haven't come up with a clear concept yet.... any suggestions??

Artistic Kaleidoscope- Theme #3

My sister and I created a Facebook page and group called: Artistic Kaleidoscope where artist can create works focused on an overarching theme. We select a new theme every few months. The current theme was Another Place Another Time: If there was an answer he would find it there. The theme came from a page in the book: 'The Mysteries of Harris Burdick', By: Chris Van Allsburg. I thought if would be fun to do my own interpretation on one of  the phrases in the book. The book is truly worth checking out. It has great illustrations. Below you will find my finished piece and below that you will see the illustration from the book.
