Paint Party Friday.....whooooooooo whoooooooo......

As many of you know I love so many things.....and owls are one of the animals that have always touched my heart....once when I was growing up my Dad and I found an injured owl on the side of the road near an escarpment so we took it home and fed it and waited till it's wing got all better....it was amazing...it sat in our garage on my dad's anvil and we bought it all kinds of raw treats....we fed it liver and it was one happy camper.....it turned its head whenever we opened the door....it was an amazing experience...one that I will never forget...We fed it and cared for the little guy till he was ready for flight and then we let him go.....he was amazing...beautiful...and a reminder that we all need to respect wildlife all around us.....

so to the Owls out there....here is a little piece I created.....it is my submission to Paint Party Friday this week.....

Tomorrow this design will be turned into an owl paper doll...so pop back for Sweet Saturdays right here at my blog and share some of your sweet art, sweet photos, anything that you find sweet....

Today we bid Summer Good Bye....and Autumn kissed it good bye too...with some red leaves and hints of colours changing ( I think Autumn wore some red lipstick!!!)

I love this time of year...and can't wait to visit all the Fairs, pick apples, see a big pumpkin patch, and enjoy the colours.....

Happy Creating Everyone!!!!

Learn something new every day....

A wise old owl once told me to never stop learning...and that is what I try to do each and every day...it could be something as simple as learning a new word...or something as fun as trying a new art technique...

This year I am focusing on a lot of learning....from web site design to getting into the nitty gritty of Art Licensing I will be doing a lot to grow not only as a person...but as an Illustrator and Designer....

I will keep you all posted as I learn new things and will share my experiences with you along the way....This week I am revamping my website with the design stuff I am learning and it is no easy task....in the meantime I have pointed my sites to my blog and will re-launch my site when it's all ready for public consumption...lol

Happy Learning Everyone!!!

What are you thinking of trying or learning today?

My word of the day .......care of dictionary.com

a wise old owl....

A wise old owl told me to get more into fabric design so that is precisely what I will be focusing on this summer....it is so much fun to work on surface designs and once you see them on fabric they look so neat...something different from paper and print ads...but a nice thing to add to any portfolio.

As a full time illustrator, author and designer I find it important to create all kinds of avenues for my business and with the technology that is available today you can create art for any surface.

Happy Creating!!!

Have a wonderful day!!!
