A Boy, A Book and Glasses

Cherokee, Old Blue Eyes, Pony/Horse

Painted for a challenge on Reference Photos for Artists FB group. The horse had glaucoma, so I tried to capture the look in the eyes.

The Rite of Spring, Abstract

Challenge on DPW to let loose and give the "feeling" of spring.

Citywalk, Man, Boy, Dog.

Something from my imagination. Just scribbles that turned into a scene.

Another Book Theme ACEO:

Apple, Books and Pencils.

Playing with my Tradio Stylo TRJ Pentel ink pen that is NOT waterproof and bleeds in fun ways that I really like. Not trying for perspective here, just loose watercolor and illustration of a theme. Books bring back school days for me. Does anyone read real hardcover books any more? Or write with wooden pencils? Or know what a real paper spiral notebook looks like? These could be relics of the past soon.

Day 15 of 29 Faces

Day 15:  ACEO: The Schnoz

Schnoz refers to the large nose on this guy.  I remembered the term from watching Jimmy Durante on TV as a kid, a very young kid.  They referred to him then as The Great Schnozolla.  

ACEO refers to the size - 2½” x 3½” - also called an ATC or artist’s trading card. Signed by artist. Complete contact info on back - comes in a protective sleeve.  The photo looks bigger, but it is truly the size of a baseball card.  Original, not a copy, painted with acrylics on heavy paper.
