This and That

After the calendar, I decided to search for more candies and interesting labels. Do you know how hard it is to find interesting candies in regular grocery stores and c-stores. I finally found an import store. The lady bugs are chocolate, not sure where from. The milk n honees and mars are from Italy. The lobster candy looks like from Russia and I am most curious about what kind of candy that will turn out to be! The bananko also looks Russian. Loved the herding cats label and it is from South Africa. I hope you enjoy.

Every Day in May

May has been an incredibly boring month at work. Evidence of this can be seen in this desk calender. Pen and ink and watercolor completed while sitting at my desk at work. Surprisingly, the last three days have been busy and this month may be saved after all. This is not exactly every day in May. I started late, as a challenge from a coworker, and I have obviously finished early. It has been a lot of fun. It has given me ideas for future paintings and has entertained coworkers and customers.

Pears yet Again

Some more pears from last fall. I have been painting daily. I just do not have anything to post yet. I have an every day in May that I have been working on. I will post that in a few days. That has led to some spin offs that I have not completed yet. Does any of this make sense? Sorry. The upcoming posts will be too big for the scanner so I will need to figure out how to take some decent photos. More to learn!

Venezia

I once entered a contest with this watercolor. I won third place and an artbook. That is my claim to fame. Ha!

Pelicans

I am officially declaring this past week as the most boring work week of my life!!!!

These pelicans found their way to my business cards(The backside). They are from a photo I took while on vacation to Florida. My photo does not show much detail because of the strong back light. Must do more to figure out my camera! These are a couple of the things I did to keep from going crazy.

Stay tuned for every day in May that I am doing on my desk calender at work.

Too Big for the scanner

My apologies about the quality of this scan. I just finished this painting and it won't fit on the scanner unless I bend it or cut it and I am not going there. Trust me, it looks a lot better in real life. This is on Cartiera Magnani hot pressed watercolor paper with pen and ink and watercolor.

Pen and Ink

This is one that I did in my journal. I am fascinated by capitals. They are really fun to draw.
