Junie's: Portrait in progress

This is a watercolor in progress. I had to post it because I wanted some feed back. This is a portrait of my Dad. Skin tones are extremely difficult, and I still need to put some shadows in, as well as his glasses. If I can only find the motivation to finish it.

Junie's: EDM Challenge #20

This a tribute to my dad. He was a really awesome person. He was a jack of all trades, but specialized in carpentry. This still life was done with watercolor. This painting is as if he had just come home from work and has a paint can, paint roller, wrench, hammer, screwdriver, his work glove, ladder, flannel shirt, and work hat. I still love the smell of fresh paint because it reminds me of my dad.

Junie's: EDM Challenge #76

This is a watercolor, of what was originally a white rose, but I love the color blue. I love all the flowers that are out in full bloom.

J's: Zentangle Project Red


Zentangle Project Red (Series of 3). First in series. A zentangle is a stream of consciousness drawing that flows around itself, there are many variations on them as well. This zentangle was produced with Copic Multiliner pens (.1-.7 thickness), and Prismacolor markers (30% Cool Grey-70% Cool Grey and Crimson Red).

Junie's: Frida Fruit Study


This is a watercolor study, of an oil painting that Frida created. I had an assignment of duplicating a master study still life. I liked this one because the colors are a lot more vibrant then most still lifes. I really didn't like having to copy the piece, but it turned out a lot better then I expected, and I may end up doing some more work with personal still lifes.
