Color me Magnets!

So fun drawing these sea creatures on scraps of watercolor paper and mat board . I put magnet tape on the backsides and created them for you to color in or paint! A new idea - for selling at the Sitka Farmers Market this summer along with some cards and prints ! I call them Color Me Magnets :)

Work in progress......

Southeast Alaskan wolf painting I'm working on for fun, I'm also letting this painting evolve in color without doing any color studies ! It is so much harder than I thought but I'm trusting my intuition to make this painting shine -I will post again soon with more progress :)

Fish T shirt Design

     Here are a few thumbnail sketches I drew, my client chose #10 for a kids T shirt design to sell at Sumner Brook Fish Farm in Ossipee, NH.

I created this on Adobe Photoshop, kinda wish I inked the fish by hand with pen and ink and then scanned it into the computer. Sometimes I think traditional media is faster! 

This is the final  2 color silkscreen design -a Rainbow Trout . 

Hope people snatch up this T shirt and other gifts when they visit the Fish Farm!

Remember Romeo the Wolf

 

This is the start of a series of portraits about Romeo the Wolf from Juneau, Alaska! I very heart warming  story, look it up on Google!

 

This is Zorra a doggy friend of mine, I have been her sitter time to time and made his painting as a gift for her Mom. She has inspired me to paint Romeo so here I go! Stay tuned to progress!

Highlights from my day job!

These are original Hand Painted Panels I designed at Fairweather Prints studio in Sitka, Alaska! This is the fun part of my job!
Each piece is a silkscreen design that I created by hand & on the computer. The black designs are silk screened on fabric and then I paint the colorful line work, like in Halibut & the last 2 images. The Raven and the Bear are Christie Jones designs that I spruced up with my hand painting!
 I also created this Bear wall hanging digitally, to show a sample of a fun project you can make with our Hand Painted panels!
You can find them for sale at Fairweather Gallery in Juneau, Alaska and on the web at http://fairweatherprints.com/?page=store  Enjoy!
