Another Step On New Miniature Painting ACEO

I've added the ink wash background to my latest miniature painting. Now I'll start to layer on colored pencil.




I am pleased with the start of the young Miss Duckling. I haven't chosen a name for her yet though. Here are some of the suggestions so far:


"Miss Henrietta"
"Duckling Delilah"
"Little Miss Quackalina"


Any more ideas? You can vote on a name (upper left)

"Where In The World Is Little Bit" Part Three

This is the third in my summer series (and guessing game) of graphically altered images; "Where In the World Is Little Bit?". I often am at a loss for words when I try to describe time with my beloved horse Little Bit. The above image represents yesterday's time with my equine pal. In you comments, try to guess what my experience was like from the picture, I'll send out a free print of your choice, add your comment here, and link to your blog!

Here is the post and comments from last week: "Where In The World Is Little Bit"

Enjoy!!

And the Winner Is.....

The winner of my summer series (and guessing game) of graphically altered images; "Where In the World Is Little Bit?" .

Winning comments:
From my dear friend and fellow artist Wyanne Chase

"Its a lazy Sunday afternoon, mid-afternoon. Melody and Little Bit wandered aimlessly through the rolling open meadows without a worry in the world.

Little Bit nipped at the tall grasses while Melody held out both hands, waist high, palms down, letting the soft grasses tickle her skin as they wandered.

They stopped to listen - a gentle breeze whispered, chick-a-dees chattered with each other. Laying down in tall grasses side by side, they stared up at the endless blue sky, defining shapes in the high puffy clouds, daydreaming, wishing summer would never come to an end.

Just a couple of best friends, enjoying each other's company on a lazy Sunday afternoon mid-summer."

From fellow artist extraordinaire Kathleen Coy

"Mel, I see you and Little Bit under a gorgeous blue summer sky, surrounded by the lush green of the season, and feeling like everything is wide open and goes on forever..."

From Deb of ArtShtick
"Bit is in Teletubby land! There are rolling green hills and cottontails bounding through the landscape. The sun shines bright every day, and the nicest little purple, yellow, red and lime colored people come to play! "
