New Spring (Sunny Day v2)
A little alien birdie with some Springtime trees. I had a lot fun doing the border on this one instead of leaving it a plain line. Gouache and pen on watercolor paper, 5″ x 7″ on 7.5″ x 9″ paper.

Wanted to revisit the Moondance scene with two of my aliens dancing under the moon. Not sure how well it worked and if I were to redo it, I’d change the dark treeline in the background and how I did the frame. The partial line coming down from the moon didn’t work out as well […]

Something simple for this one – smiling happy sun shining on a springtime tree. I fancied up the border on a whim an while I like it, I want to start planning the border to be a part of the image more. Gouache and pen on watercolor paper, 5″ x 7″ on 7.5″ x 9″ […]

The other pieces I’ve done like that have turned out much more finished looking, IMO. Watercolor on watercolor paper, […]

Need to play catchup posting my alien portraits. This is #2 in the series. He’s just moving along, doing nothing special. Watercolor on watercolor paper, 7.5″ x 9″

A small little portrait of one of my aliens. Done using cake watercolors this time instead of gouache (so I can work in front of the TV sometimes). Watercolor on watercolor paper. 7.5″ x 9″

Another of my alien creatures abstracts. I haven’t decided if I like this one or not. I had the idea in my head but the final result just doesn’t match. Just need more practice, I guess. Also need a better scanner, too. This image is way brighter than the painting actually is. Gouache on watercolor […]
