NYHAVN REFLECTED !

                                                         11 x 14  Ink Pen and Watercolor

Here is the link for where I made my drawing from  HERE

This piece was done for a project called the Virtual Paintout that takes you to different spots in the world and this month is an Island in Denmark called Zealand using Google Maps.
It's quite a fun way to find a location to draw.

" Au Printemps "

12  x  9   Ink Pen and Watercolor

This is the last one I did for my daughters bridal shower. I enjoyed drawing these. Our trip to Europe and especially Paris was so nice. I recommend anyone to go at least once in their life.

"THE FLOWER STAND "

                                                                12  x  9   Ink Pen and Watercolor

Here is the second piece of art I did for my daughters bridal shower. Her theme was black, white & French. This was a lovely flower tent selling gorgeous bouquets and loose flowers. They even had a chandelier at the ceiling of the tent. It was so lovely to look at.

" La Fille se Marie "

12  x  9 Ink Pen and Watercolor

This was done for the Bridal shower of my daughter. It is from a picture I took in Paris where these round things are used to display the latest movie posters. As I was drawing it I noticed that it had a young woman pulling a suitcase so I thought I would change it a bit and make the tittle reflect the event  translation " the girl is getting married "

The tree was not in bloom at the time but I choose to make it about spring time. The start of one's life which relates to the start of a married life. I had it framed and it looks very nice.

" PIP "

I encountered this lovely and so sweet pup called "PIP" as I was coming out of an art store. I could not help myself and said I would love to draw him. Well a few weeks later I got a call from his Mommy !

When I went to deliver my drawing someone in the street called out to him and said "Hi PiP" .... his owner did not even know them. I can understand the attraction from everyone. He seem to be  FAMOUS in these part.

" THE COUPLE "

8 X 11 Ink Pen

Yesterday I got a call informing me of a free portrait class by a very good local artist held an hour later.  I jumped at the opportunity. When I got there I realized it was an oil painting class and the only things I had on me was my trusted ink pen. We had 2 models to choose from, husband in one room wife in the other and 2 hours with some critiquing and breaks in between.

I felt like I needed to draw both so I hurried a bit to get them done...... lol

" JASPER "

                                                      8  x  10  Ink pen and Watercolor

This sweet little girl is part of my family and when you have a talent I think sometimes it needs to be given away. So this was my present to her parents.

I used to draw in pencil first but it is rare now. I had to push myself out of the boat sort to speak and start drawing directly in INK. It's a bit scary sometimes but it gives a certain look to the work that would not be there if I erased some of the line.
What about you ?
Do you go over the edge (artwork that is .......  ) sometimes too and what is it you do  ?
