Love One Another

    Yay! A new post!  I feel on the ball but a little bummed.  Post contest blues I 

suppose.  Since I had no project pending I thought of one myself.  I got together

some items I love from my bathroom  and posted the pic on twitter earlier this week.

                      Here it is.  Most items are vintage.  The cute crab my 8 yr. old daughter made!

If you tweet an illustration inspired by it and post under hashtag #illustration 

I will follow you!  I hope you will follow me also.  I plan on doing these photo collage

inspiration sparkers occasionally and may offer prizes someday soon.  

I had done this little sketch in my mini sketchpad.

                                                              

   I decided to illustrate this sketch inspired by the colors, scallopy detail on the swan,

and the butterfly in the photo. 

Here is the final art, done in acrylic and watercolor pencil.
This was inspired by my chihuahua Daisy and our new cat Naya.
They are not the best of friends, so I envisioned a brighter future for them...

I think I should have used bristol board, the watercolor paper was a little rough 

for the pencil, but all in all I like the result.  I sort of freehanded the border (so it's a tad askew) and added at the last minute, inspired by Peter Brown's (@itspeterbrown on Twitter) work and a conference tidbit he gave.  I like how it frames the sweetness.  Happy drawing and life to you all.
