Illustration Friday: Urban

My submission for Illustration Friday's "Urban" is a colour pencil drawing called "Homeward Bound". This is a colour study for a painting by the same name. Have a happy weekend!

Illustration Friday: Egg

My submission for Illustration Friday's " Egg

" is one of my Home Town die cut greeting cards. This card  is a shoppe that features Easter items  and like all of my Home Town cards it stands on it's own and when you collect all 5 you have a little town :) The original is Liquitex acrylics on Canson AirBrush Paper. Each card is a different die cut and there are 10 different buildings in total for holidays, birthdays, important anniversaries or simply just to say I am thinking of you.

Happy Easter and Happy Passover!

Illustration Friday: EYE GLASSES

I had to put on my strong  eye glasses to actually see her in the tall blades of grass.Suddenly I could see her so clearly!  She was swinging, smiling and having a wonderful time. Her name was Adora.

My submission for Illustration Friday's "EYE GLASSES" theme is a paper sculpture illustration called "A is for Adora".

I have been working on Hanukkah images this season. This is a holiday that needs a little more colour! Here are some valgal HomeTown Hanukkah Houses. The images are slightly distorted because I photographed them on a curved sheet of paper. They are diecut to make garlands, cards and gift tags. The holidays are quickly approaching so no matter what you celebrate, have a very good one!
