Dahlonega Literary Festival this weekend!
This is one of my favorite festivals, and truly look forward to it every year.
The Holly Theatre is one of the wonderful attractions there. This was done as part of a series
of note cards depicting various points of interest in Dahlonega GA.

Getting ready for the Folk to Fine Art Festival
Going to have these and a number of other surprises
in addition to the books and prints.

These are a series of quick watercolor sketches over pencil.
They measure roughly 5.5" x 7"
They are done on Strathmore Bristol series 400

Happy New Year's everyone!

Christmas is upon us!

A time to reflect, hope and be thankful. Don't let the little, unimportant, and anything you can't do anything about take your time away from the truly valuable and important things and especially people in your life.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Poe Revisited

This is something done a bit ago, but decided to revisit it. Originally, this was done digitally. Wanted to try it conventionally with pastel. Was never quite satisfied with the background so some digital magic was applied.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

This is something from Dear Baby, I'm Watching Over You that seemed very appropriate for today.
Much of the research & reference for the art in this book came with a lot of help from the wonderful folks at Fort Benning. The experience gave me an even deeper respect for these people and their families, and just how much they do for us. This holiday wouldn't be, if it wasn't for what they do.
