The Sweetest Thing mixed media painting

I'm still fiddling around with new methods of painting. Here's the latest, entitled 'The Sweetest Thing'. This is a 5x7 piece, done on 140 lb. cold pressed watercolor paper, with pencils and watercolors.

The Dreamer 3 - New Acrylic Painting

Here is a small 5x7 acrylic painting on canvas board I completed a short while ago. It seems I've been drawing and painting quite a few of these flowing haired ladies lately, and so have decided to create of series of them called The Dreamers. I have another on my desk nearly finished that I'll be sharing with you soon.

'Feel My Love' - Mixed Media Painting

While discussing a possible commission for a dear friend's daughter, I had a sudden image in my mind of working a pencil likeness over a music sheet. I wasn't sure if it would work, so I took an antique photo that touched me emotionally and began working. This is what I was able to come up with:

'Feel My Love' ~ 5x7 mixed media painting, utilizing acrylics, pencil and watercolors on an antique music sheet circa 1890, attached to a canvas board painted a deep purple and protected with a matte varnish.

Wearable Framed Paintings

I've been trying to come up with a new way of doing pendants, and after the last batch of Halloween goodies I was really and truly inspired with the pendant frames I'd found. But I didn't feel I'd get the detail I truly wanted by going with acrylics, so I switched to pencil and watercolors. And here are the results:
Before framing...





And framed and varnished:

I loved doing these, though I think I may need to get myself a good magnifying glass soon!
