bearface, cat tail, ray nard and la caille

Do you remember when cartoons had a little screen at the beginning showing the character that would be in the show... Featuring.... ? .......

'bear face'

 (I've put this little guy out in Chichester for Free Art Friday)

Check out facebook for a clue of where it is.

'cat tail'

'la caille'

'ray nard'

I've set up these as round coasters as well. 

I might just have to make these a set of these for myself. 

the end.

Bath Time for the bear and the cat

The bear and the cat seem to be a recurring theme. Don't ask why.

We used to have to do pointillism in elementary school (what up Bearisto!) and I had forgotten how much I actually hated it. That being said, I think it is worth the potential carpal tunnel syndrome when I look at the outcome.

Obviously its not all pointillism, only a little bit but even that was painful. 

Bear Faces

I had this weird little wooden box thing that I was trying to think of something really clever to paint on it and one day while we were driving somewhere, it came to me....

More 2dee-ness

I had bought a load of cheap glassless frames from Ikea with intentions of painting to frames to sell. Instead I decided to make them all into little 2dee shadow boxes in hopes of selling them at the upcoming craftfairs. I did 3 with Fox Nap ones and one of the Forest Cat. They all ended up selling so I did 2 more fox Naps, 2 more Forest Cats and then did 2 Forest owls.
