Ms. de Meaner

She’s done! This has to be one of the funniest and spot on portraits I have done. My dear friend Joy is colorful, energetic and larger than life. A former beauty queen who believes in bright colors, feathery hats and funky glasses, she is better known to the public as Dr. B.  As a professor…

Joie de Vivre

This week I am working on a fun portrait for another colorful friend. This is the initial color sketch for the portrait. The final product will have some fun surprises that she and I decided on as I was working on the color sketch. Don’t forget these babies can have a digital and paper life…

Anita la Bonita

My dear friend Ana is a fun, energetic, fashion forward business girl. Later this summer Ana is launching her new blog and wanted something special as her profile picture/ logo and that’s where I came in. She asked me to paint a portrait of her and this is what we came up with. As soon…

Star Wars… #Squadgoals

Recently I was commissioned to paint another Star Wars grouping for someone. When going through the characters with my client they were sure about not wanting any of the “new” characters.

Baubles and Baubles

Lyrical Pictures: Yellow

This weekend I was cleaning up my shelf and I found an old sketchbook from a couple of years ago which still has tons of space. I’ve decided to use it to draw my more informal things, nothing that might end up as a watercolor or a commission. Here is my first entry from it. …

I Scream, You Scream…

It’s almost summer, and nothing says summer like ice cream. I was thinking about what our long summer days might be like this year, and all I could think about was ice cream. Here is what those thoughts led to in my sketchbook. Have a great weekend! XOXO

And Then She Picked…

Last night at the Annual Junior League of Miami meeting, my friend Deidre shared with me which of the two whales she was going with. Her pick? Moby 1. I went ahead and finished Moby 2 anyhow. Here are the final whales. I want to thank D again for bestowing this honor on me. XOXO
