Owl with mouse

I love owls! Especially barn owls. I painted the background first, in acrylics. Than I painted the owl on top with black and white acrylics, and pen.

This is a painting of a tribal mask from the northwest that belongs to my aunt.

Love Apple Farm

I lived at Love Apple Farm in Santa Cruz for 3 years. Much of my art is inspired by this wonderful place.

Face sketch

Stabilo all, acrylic paint.

Pencil sketch on gesso

Pencil, gesso and a touch of pink acrylic on a page from my Winston dictionary (1945).

Baby Barn Owl

This quick little sketch in my art journal is a baby barn owl. I made it to test out the Stabilo Woody pencil (crayon-like). I love owls! I'm not sure about the woody, but I couldn't live without my black Stabilo All pencil!

Short hair girl

I made this girl for an altered book swap. It's on recycled paper (order form for Edward R Hamilton book seller) and I used a black Stabilo all pencil, gesso, a small amount of thio violet acrylic paint, and a brown Stabilo all pencil for the hair.

My son said, "that's a girl?" Yes son, girls can have short hair.
