Drawing this over the last few days has been a fun way to pass the time. Harry, as usual, was a very willing model. Wherever I go he is always at my side so eager to make me smile.

Harmonic Distortion
I have been quietly working away at this full sheet Transparent Watercolour for nearly a month now and finally finished it yesterday.
Everything we see is an illusion. Even our perceptions of reality are illusionary and are usually distorted by our beliefs and ideals.
Sorry I didn't share the WIP photo's with you all as I painted this but I felt it would spoil the fun of the final illusion if you knew from the onset what was there. How many musicians can you count in the whole painting? Click on the image to see a larger version and to see all the fun distortions of the musicians in the clear bell shaped glasses.

46th Louisiana Watercolor Society's International Exhibition Acceptance
'Animato Assai' has been accepted into the 2016 Louisiana Watercolor
Society's International Exhibition. It is such an
honor to be included with so many amazing artists!
I love to include snippits of real music hidden in my music series of paintings. The music flying off my subject's hair in this painting is from the song 'Happy'. It seems very fitting this evening.

Sweet Heart-Ted
With Valentine's Day just around the corner I couldn't resist painting this miniature Ted watercolour.
Little 'Sweet Heart-Ted' is seeking a home where he will be loved and thinks nothing would be sweeter than coming to live with you. Will you be his Valentine?
