Mr. Tibbons and his tooth friend Bicuspid have been sitting around my studio unfinished for a while. I got stuck on this project, unsure of what to do next.…
I made my loved one art gifts this year: a hand-painted hoodie and caricatures of our beloved puppies. I would not have the courage to pursue making art without…
Panda eye patches are more optimistic now. Painted the ears and nose to match. Purple is taking 4-5 coats to get the proper rich hue.
Quick painting on a wood panel I found in my craft stash. I’m haunted by the HiRoo’s and their stories. This one has a travel umbrella that allows it…
