Illustration Fridays Challenge is ....."Fearless"

This weeks challenge was the word "fearless".  I immediately thought of all the upcoming graduation party's coming up soon.  Its so hard as parents to watch your children grow up and leave the nest.  Congrats to all those graduating soon.  If you like it, and know of someone graduating soon take a peak in my Etsy shop.  I have this card up for sell.

Red Head with a View

Today I finished up this little painting. I have been experimenting with colored pencils and oil paints.  I found product that I love called Liquin Original from Windsor & Newton. It smooths out the colored pencil and oil paints, and dries the oils pretty quickly.   Down below are a few photos that I saw on a blog a couple of weeks ago. For the life of me I can't find out who posted these pictures below.  If anyone remembers who these pictures belong to can you let me know?  I thought I would use them as inspiration for "Red Head with a View".

Colonial Mexican Fountain

Well, Its been awhile since I've posted.  I get into a rut, and then I snap out of it.  This little 9 x 12 painting was fun to make. I used oil paints which I've always had problems with in the past.  I love the brilliance of oil paints though, and I would love to master them better.
