and a little throwback thursday!

adorable little Mei-Lin was created back in february to commemorate 2016's year of the monkey. holding her lucky orange well, she was too cute not to submit into this week's IF theme of what else...."orange".

PRINTS HERE and other goodies featuring her sweet face HERE. 

{it's september so i can still say, "gung hay fat choy!"}

the making of "the lucky one"...step by step!

another peek into my step by step creative process....this one for the painting entitled, "the lucky one". done to commentate 2016's year of the monkey, this little cutie was lots of fun to paint.

for a look at the album and explanation of the step by step process, take a click over to my Facebook page and maybe give it a "like" if you already haven't...and would be so kind. :)

the ORIGINAL painting is FOR SALE! contact me if interested. or send me a message through my Facebook page. PRINTS available here.

 speaking of PRINTS, i'm in the middle of opening up a S6 (Society 6) shop which will feature my paintings on cool products from tote bags to tapestries, clocks to (duvet) covers. i'll post the link as soon as i get around to finishing setting up shop.  meanwhile, click on over to the S6 homepage and check out some other really wonderful artists. always awesome to see hard working, talented people have their masterpieces transformed onto products we can buy for ourselves to give away as gifts.

ok...so apparently i have a *thing* now....

for drawing CUTE baby animals :)

as i stated earlier in the week, i'm trying to work on selling (or shall i say "parting with") some ORIGINAL artwork. and i thought i great way to do that would be to "part with" some sketches/drawings right out of one of my sketchbooks. and, i have many of those...;)

here we have a cute little baby cheetah...with his dragonfly friend (because i couldn't bear for him to be out there in the jungle all by his little lonesome self, of course). he is FOR SALE HERE:
