I like to do these little ones between projects or while waiting for a.d.'s to get back to me. We have a show coming up in November and the more of these little ones I can do the better.
I'm presently working on a book project called Teeney O'Feeney King of the Leprechauns. Here are 2 takes on the same character - Olaf the Mountain Troll. The first version of Olaf is for the book and the second version I did for myself - just for fun.
I recently had the privilege of working on an excellent book project called The Secret History of Giants. I did a lot of drawing to both prepare for this project and also to contribute spontaneous drawings as illustrations. I accumulated quite a pile of these drawings and can now safely post some of them, being as how the book has been printed and will be out shortly - it's already out in England.
When I first painted this one I like her just as a nude but I then later decided to give her a little faerie glamour. I like both versions. This is watercolour with gouache and graphite.
