With this being the last day of November (YAY DECEMBER!!), I thought it was a good time to post this drawing of a little autumn themed girl I named Hazel (because I need to name EVERYTHING). She is done in graphite and colored pencil made by my FAVORITE pencil maker, the fabulous Derwent Company. Seriously, these people make the best pencils ever-no matter what type you're looking for. I own them all. Really. Obsessed with Derwent. Those Brits make some really handsome looking pencils. I digress...this drawing was done with the Coloursoft line of colored pencils and their graphite pencils as well. Love me some Derwent.

Hazel has a summer sister by the name of Mirasol found here. Both are available FOR SALE as original drawings. NO prints will be offered.

ONE MORE DAY OF FREE SHIPPING ON EVERYTHING IN MY SHOP!! SALE ENDS 12/1 AT 11:59 PM (EST).

Happy Fall!!!

celebrating my second favorite season (winter being the first, of course-snow lover here....) by having a SALE on EVERYTHING in my shop. prints, compact mirrors, original paintings and drawings are all included in that 20% off. why not do a little early Christmas (yay!!!) shopping now?! from a girl who is always ahead of the game, Christmas shopping in late September sounds very appealing....but then again shopping always sounds appealing to me. ;)

i almost forgot....

HAPPY HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

trick or treat, love pippa...and licorice :)

welcoming in fall is my sweet little character pippa...and her black bird friend licorice. pippa (who we all know is really ME-hence the uggs she usually has on) is dressed in her pumpkin costume and ready to hand out candy to all the little trick or treaters at the pumpkin patch. with the help of licorice, of course....;)

i wanted to do a painting of this, but time does not really allow for it. so...i took out my favorite *tools*...the tinted graphite pencils by derwent. OMG....i am so in love with these pencils. it's ironic because i seem to be known for (for a lack of a better phrase) for my use of bright and bold color in my paintings. yet, i am totally crazy about the look of tinted graphite. and, i'm truly a pencil girl at heart so these pencils really make me happy. AND...they are water soluble as well, so i often use a water brush pen (like a did here) filled with clear water and very gently add some water to the drawing and....POOF....magic!:)

anyway, not that i have gone off on my tangent about these pencils, i want to say that pippa here is available FOR SALE as a LIMITED EDITION print in my etsy shop found here

next on the table...

a custom order for a sweet little autumn baby named genevieve, the nursery is green and brown, so most of the finished painting will contain shades of green, with the oranges from the pumpkin and leaves being the contrasting color. it will be finished with a lovely satin ribbon for hanging (most likely in a nice cocoa brown color to match the nursery).
