This is for Enid.  Here are some examples of portraits done as digital paintings.  Zoom them in  a little to see them larger and better see the effects.  These have a modern feel to them since they are modern portraits, but a more antique feel can be created.

Here's some recent works.  I'm determined to get back to posting and illustrating.  Here's some of the stuff from the last 9 months.

It's pretty random, but just a sampling of the various things I've done.  Hopefully there will be more to come.

Free Phone Wallpaper

Ever wonder what to do with those pictures that are nice but just don’t stand up to scrutiny when zoomed in? They make great wallpaper for your phone. Here are two examples of images that don’t cut it for stock for one imperfection or another, but they look great on my phone. Feel free to copy and download these for your own use. All I ask is that you not alter them. Enjoy!

Heavy

Heavy
Heavy

Heavy.  It makes me think of lifting, holding, pushing, pulling and all the while not getting very far.  Although this may appear to be my version of Atlas, what I really had in mind was the weight of responsibility, the heavy load of the weight of the world on your shoulders.  We can be glad to never have to experience such pressure, even if we were to become the president of one of earths big nations, we'd still not be responsible for the whole. 

As Resurrection Sunday approaches, I think of Christ and how He took upon Himself the weight of the world's sins when He took our place to fulfill our insurmountable debt to God. He did not crumble under the weight as we would have.

Theme of the week: Garden.  This time I decided to go with a simplistic doodle style. Growing up I would often doodle flowers on my class notes.  I guess its a very girlie thing to do.  In a way, its something anybody can draw.

So, the theme to illustrate this week is change.  You might say I took the easy way out by choosing to illustrate it as a noun rather than a verb.

Multiples of 1 and 2.

When I think of multiples I think of numbers and repetitive patterns, so here we have both.

Here's a variation on a theme.  I've had this in my mind for a while and it finally came to fruition.

Choose One, Already!

Choose One Already!
Who are the most indecisive beings in the world?  We ladies are.

So what better way than to illustrate the concept "choose" than by showing how ridiculous we women can be?  Two identical choices save for the color can represent quite a conundrum, while gentlemen will never comprehend just how it could possibly take so long do put something, anything, on.

Favorite Book

Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice
The task this time was to illustrate my favorite book.  That, of course, is Pride and Prejudice.  I've read that more times in the last few years than I am willing to admit. 

Its essentially about people and how they relate to each other within the constraints of society during the early 19th century.  I tried to  get that in the image, but cannot say if I was completely successful.
