Winter's Princess - WIP

Repainting the seasons. It's been several years and I always enjoy the four seasons, living in Iowa I get a lot of inspiration.

This sketch is winter. I'm going larger, 10x14, and they all will be fairies this time around. Not standing, but flying or floating.

I'm looking forward to my new techniques involving colored pencil and the ability to now draw them without reference for the poses.

Auctions are Back!

I have returned to setting up auctions, yet not on Ebay. There's a new creative community I would love to introduce to you called FuzzB.com. It's a mix between ebay, etsy, facebook, and myspace. There are SO many items listed, you could spend hours there. I highly suggest taking a look.

My auctions are listed there, three original pieces. There were no winners last month for the "Summer Breeze" aceo so that has gone up for auction.


"Summer Breeze" 2.5x3.5 original watercolor painting, min. bid $7


"Valentine's Night" 5x7 original watercolor painting, min. bid $15.00


"Faith Fairy Blessing" 5x5.5 original watercolor painting, min. bid $7

I thought about going back to Ebay, bit it's been some time I don't see much of an original painting market now that we have Etsy. But I truly want to offer works at full rate and at a rate that could be lower, giving the customer more choice.

So please go visit FuzzB.com and take a look at all they have. Don't forget to take a look see at my auctions while you're there. Have fun!

You can watch the progression of this paintings development here on the blog as she turns from lines to life, and any other updates that come along. Be sure to follow the blog to make sure you don't miss anything. There are three months in summer, and three more seasons (including this one) to go in my series. Spring has been finished and passed. This one is "Summer Breeze". The next aceo will be listed one day after the drawing. I'll give you three guesses as to what it'll be. ;)
