Macaw#1

This is an acrylic ink ATC done using the Wetcanvas RIL donated by StalkstheDawn. I am glad I work more on birds. Before, I only do flowers and I was not sure I can do animal. My friend, Jeanne, encourages me to try more birds and I think they come out great.

Home Grown...Orchids

Our yellow&red orchids have bloomed recently. We are grateful to have them in our humble garden. I am sure they love us so they take turn to bloom despite I do not give them special orchid fertilizer. I don't want to let their beauty go un-notice, so today I did a plein air little art card from it.

This weekend Iris had a high fever and a cold so we also been very busy taking care of her. However, I still manage to squeeze in some short sessions to sketch and do small art cards while she was sleeping. She seems to get a bit better now. Here are some of the works done during this weekend. Enjoy.

Pepper#2

This is a life-drawing ATC size using acrylic ink on a 140 lb Winsor Newton watercolor paper. It was sent to a Wetcanvas member in New Zealand. I still have another one in the same series traveling somewhere to the USA. It was fun to try doing more work in acrylic ink. I am still new to it.
