to the sky...

The reason I haven't posted in three weeks is that my husband went on a 5 day field trip to California, then I went for a week long field trip to New York (which was awesome!), and then I was playing catch up for my classes. For this piece, I illustrated the song "To the Sky" by Owl City for my class assignment. These fuzzy little guys just couldn't wait to take to the sky. I painted it in Photoshop. Here are some of my ideas from my sketchbook. I liked some of the vertical compositions, but alas, the assignment was to do horizontal.

Here is a painting I did not too long ago that I am very happy with. I entered it into to competitions in hope of getting in, but alas, it was for all for not... Nevertheless, I am still pleased with it. Watercolor on 190lb. Arches watercolor paper. She is a selkie, a seal that turns into a human. Some one has stolen her sealskin so she can't turn back into a seal.
