Tusk Time elephant

6x6 watercolor over ink line sketch with Micron 01 pen, drawn and painted yesterday on Masters 70 lb paper.  I like how this paper accepts color splotches; it does not blend as traditional paper so never know what I'm going to get as an end result, such as with this zoo elephant.

Cat in the Pumpkin Hat

6x6 watercolor on paper with drawing using Micron 01 pen last night.  Every now and then doing whimsical pet portraits is just plain fun.  Except this black imaginary fellow looks humiliated to say the least.

Woody Woodpecker

15x11 watercolor vignette on Canson 140 lb cold press paper, done yesterday.  We have one or more of these pesky birds outside our mountain cabin, happily pecking away at its walls.   An abstract background was fall colors of leaves, grasses, and twigs.

Blue-eyed Chef

6x6 watercolor over ink line drawing on Masters paper done a few days ago.  I used one of my chefs collection figures to do the face which looks nothing like the little model.  Daniel Smith paints used.
