Mama Bear Birthday Card

The "Mama Bear" card was created for my mom's birthday a couple of weeks ago. The original doodle had languished long enough in my sketchbook!

It's watercolor, colored pencil, and pastel pencil on watercolor paper.

I'm selling the original artwork in my brand new Etsy store. If there is enough interest in this piece, I'll have some prints made, and some cards probably.

OMG Kittens!

The Field of Kittens has been on my list for quite some time. Ever since I created The Field of Puppies piece, my friend Angela has wanted a kittens version. So, guess what I created for her as a shower present? I featured her two kitties, Navy (the black one), and Toast (the orange marmie/white one). I think the kitten looking straight out at the viewer is the one that looks most like Toast. Here is my process, from sketch to finish.
