Boy with Airplane

8x8" Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas ($68)
I've been painting so many girls lately I decided to try a boy.  This one looks more like an older boy rather than the toddler I was trying for.

Girl with Purple Bunny

5x7" Acrylic on watercolor paper ($45 with cream mat in black frame)
I'm playing more with backgrounds lately.  Not sure I love this technique but I'm going for a more understated background so the foreground takes precedence.  This bunny reminds me a little bit of a bunny in a children's book I read to my kids not too long ago.  I like the way the shirt turned out.

Bird On Her Shoulder

3.5x5.5 Acrylic on watercolor paper (SOLD)
Another bird girl, I'm not going to make up a story for this one though, you can use your imagination.  This painting is matted with a 1" white mat and framed in  a 6x8" white frame.  More pictures of the frame to follow.

Bird On Her Head

Acrylic on watercolor paper - (SOLD)
Why is there a bird on her head?  I don't know, it just felt the need to land there. Or, maybe it is part of the hat (thought it is a bit large to be part of the hat...). She obviously likes birds, just take a look at her shirt, so she doesn't mind having it on her head. This painting is matted with a 1" white mat and framed in  a 6x8" white frame.  More pictures of the frame to follow.

Pouty Dress-up Fairy Princess

6x8" Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas ($52)
This one was done before "Daydreaming Flower Fairy". They are still a work in progress, the next one will probably be a bit different too.

Daydreaming Flower Fairy

8"x8" Acrylic on gallery wrapped cavas ($68)
I've been wanting to paint figures for some time but have been trying to figure out a way to draw them to my liking.  I love this artist. Her style is whimsical and delightful. She gave me quite a bit of inspiration for finally coming up with my own drawings for figures.
