Not so Buddy Christ

Water color paper, prismacolor pencil. 9″x16″. Buddy Christ from the movie Dogma and a random quote I thought was funny.

This is a gift for our friend, Jason, who helped us move to our new Home.

Pain is beauty

Graphite and watercolor on watercolor paper. Black ink used for the hair. This was inspired from a photo posted on Modblog. Rings are pierced into the subjects back and were highlighted with silver prismacolor pencil. Final product sprayed with a clear fixative, this shows up as a glare on the middle red flower.

Guardian Angel

This image is my inspiration. It is a piece of wall art from Design Toscano. I loved it and wanted it for MY walls but instead it was used as a reference for creating my own custom piece.

This is white conte pencil on black cardboard 24″x36″. It took around a week to complete putting in around 3 hours a day.

I gifted this to my husband and it presently hangs above our bed.

Ink wash

This was created using a Chinese writing set with ink sticks and a brush. The ink was layered for deeper shadows. Paper is tracing paper which caused some puckering as the ink dried. Inspiration came from a photo posted on Modblog.

I was pregnant with my second daughter when this was made and it is dedicated to her.

Surreal Dogwood

Acrylic on 12″x16″ canvas. Inspired by a dogwood tree planted just outside my first apartment.

This was given to my In-Laws and now hangs at their house.

Broken Heart Art

 

This was painted using acrylic on a 9″x9″ square canvas. Text bubble was inspired by an actual quote from a member of punky moms forum. Faintly visible to some browsers are lavender swirls on the pink area of the heart pieces.

This sold to the origin of inspiration for $20.
