Valentine's Day Cards

Instead of giving my hard earned cash to Hallmark, I did my own cards this year. One for my Mom and one for my Wife.

Aspens in Winter

I can finally post this one. This was a gift to my niece who wanted me to draw somethign for her. It is ink on charcoal paper and white colored pencil for the white areas.

Birthday Card

Well if you know someone with a birthday near or on Christmas, you know the drill...No mixing of the Christmas and Birthday gifts...No birthday gifts in Christmas paper...etc.

So this is a card I made for my wife. A Narcissus flower, a December flower. White Coloered pencil and markers.

Aspen Tree Sketch

Sketch of some Aspen Trees.

I like Aspens, I miss them. They were all over in Flagstaff. I need to figure out how to do leaves. Argh. LOL

HAPPY ALL HALLOWS EVE!

One from the past...

This was a piece I did for my wife (fiance' at the time), her name is rose, so I drew her a rose. She liked it so much that she suggested that we use it for our wedding invitations. You could have knocked me down with a feather, I was stunned and elated. It is a piece that I am most proud of and sorry about. About 5-6 years ago the original was ruined by my cats and it was all I could do to have to throw it out. We had no copies of the invitations and I thought it was lost. I had not scanned it at the time. But fortune shone on me and it turns out that my sister had one of the invites and I asked her if I could have it back. It is like finding a lost teddy bear. I scanned it right away. I love this piece but I hope it is not the best thing I ever do...
