Trash is Still Ugly Even When Watercolored

This isn’t one of those “feel good, get happy” projects so if you’re looking for some inspiration, I’m afraid you won’t find it here this morning.

As many of you know, I always carry at least one camera around with me. I’m always looking for a beautiful flower bud, bird or butterfly to photograph and turn into a piece of art or illustration. Even in the beautiful area where I live, I kept seeing litter so I decided to photograph some of it.

I tried making it look less ugly by water coloring it, etc., but trash really is ugly no matter how you spin it. Shame on those who freely drop their pop cans, cigarette butts, wrappers, etc. Hopefully Mr & Ms Litterbug see this and realize how awful and unnecessary it is to dump on Mommy Nature. My good deed for the day is done if that’s the case.

Vintage Paisley Art Textures

Ohhhh I’m all about vintage today! I’ll have a few high resolution copies that you can download and use in your artwork. For now, have a look at them because I’m thinking that they’re pretty awesome! (I’m not proud!).

Subtle Leaves Vintage Art Textures

I love creating textured art with a worn, vintage look. I’m back this morning with some fresh creations that I’ve made to use as the base of my art prints. I’ll be mating and framing a few this week and then adding to my store.

Delicate Notebook Texture Art

I’ve been feeling like the modern day female version of Picasso. Okay, no, I’m not worthy of that but I have created some very cool art that I plan to use in my creations with these as my base.

You Can’t Turn Back the Clock

I’ve been a tad bit under the weather this weekend from (I think) a bug that my gorgeous little daughter caught somewhere. Nothing serious but definitely not the kind that makes you want to run a marathon.

I accomplished very little this weekend but loved this quote so much that I had to make it into something visionary. I have no clue where it came from but it’s one many of us can relate to.

I’m going to be offering a print in my store this week.
