Suspicious Owl...


He knows something is wrong... but doesn't know exactly what... Watercolor and acrylic ink!

Happy Wednesday night! :)

What did I do today?


 My "Awwwww" face. This baby grizzly bear was SOOOO flipping cute!! We went to the critter zoo about an hour away today! Saw parrots, lemurs, cougars, lions, ligers, and a grumpy tiger roared at us! We fed camel and goats and zebra-donks and cows and donkeys! It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!1!

Textured Turquoise Postcard

I made this 4x6 postcard a little bit ago... I wanted it to have a lot of texture so experimented with lots of different things. Doesn't it look a bit different than my normal style? But I still like how it turned out.
It's got stamped metal, wire, crumpled paper...
Even some sparkly microballs :) Before I painted the whole thing turquoise with acrylics and added gold pigment powder, I pretty much hated the colors.
Can you see why I painted over it? :) Looks better turquoise, huh? Anyhoo, Happy Thursday!

Also: I get to go to the critter zoo tomorrow and hold a baby grizzly bear!!! I'm so excited.
