Sunny Dahlias
“Sunny Dahlias” 10×14″ Caran D’ache Luminance and Neocolor II on Stonehenge Paper I took my daughter fishing for this piece. We caught the sunny at the fishing dock on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis. We had pretty good luck fishing there over all. The sunnies are savvy but you can trick…

Lipstick
“Lipstick” Colored Pencil on Stonehenge Paper 15×11″ framed to 23×20″ “Lipstick” is about beauty. I always have felt like putting makeup on what I’ve got just looks like makeup on what I’ve got. It doesn’t improve anyone’s chances of being mistaken for a supermodel. Does it help this little toad?…
