Elizabeth Unfinished

Here is a sneak preview of my new painting of Elizabeth I. Lots of detail went into the drawing and painting of the costume today. She is holding a galleon and behind her will be a stormy sea.

Queen Of The Damned

8 x 10 inches, watercolor, 2010.

Cassie and Mannie

Every year the EBSQ have a Pet Portrait Swap - you pair up with another artist from the site and swap portraits of each other's pets. I haven't taken part for a couple of years but this year I agreed to swap with Tracey Allyn Greene as she is a big cat lover and I have the new kittens (and she does lovely work!). This painting is of two of her cats, Mannie and Cassie. They had been abandoned and were lucky enough to be found and later adopted by Tracey. I tried to convey how contented and happy they are to be with each other and with Tracey!

Robert The Bruce

3 x 5 inches, watercolor and gold ink, 2010.

Commission.

A portrait of Robert The Bruce, who ruled Scotland from 1306 to his death in 1329.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil

7 x 10 inches, watercolor with gouache.

Commission.

I was asked to create an image incorporating the singers/musicians, Robert Smith (The Cure), Sting and Morrissey as the three wise monkeys with elements of Victorian Gothic and "Dia de los Muertos" imagery.
This was the result!
