Quick sketch, complete with glitter from a photo that caught my eye. I’ve been doing a lot of painting lately, but I seem to be running out of subject matter… suggestions?

Valentine’s Day is coming up, and that means chocolate! mmmm chocolate! Oh, how I wish… I wish… I wish… I could eat one of these for breakfast everyday. It would go so well with the imaginary Starbucks White Chocolate Mocca I picture in my mind while I’m sipping my blah grocery store pre-ground swill. mmmm that would be heaven.

Laid back fashion. I just love the green and red contrast. She is so fabulous!

The above is one of three commissioned paintings of a cute hair salon in Asheboro, NC. Took me a bit longer than I thought it would… those bricks got the best of me. Of course if you happen to be in the area, drop in on Dot!

Comfort or desperation?

This is an oil painting I started as a commission for a friend. I have since changed direction (something more abstract coming soon), but his loss was my gain. I finished the painting with a little blonde girl, instead of a brunette. I’m going to hang it in my hallway next to her bedroom. Dream big my little one, dream big.

Thought I’d test out a fashion drawing with a dark background. I think I’m on to something here.
