Geckos, Sea Turtles, and Seahorses...oh my!

Not all of my time is spent sprawled out on the front lawn playing with dog feces and scaring old ladies- I also got some canvases finished and a new one started. This first canvas, the gecko, was done with watercolor pencils, acrylic paint, markers, pens, and glaze. The gecko is Sherry Goshon's belated b'day gift... yes, I am always late for everything. Sherry taught me how to use the watercolor pencils and glaze on canvases.



The next canvas is a green sea turtle. Sea turtles are a big thing around here. They come in from the Gulf and nest on the beaches of Anna Maria Island. This canvas was done with acrylic paint and texture medium for the back ground. The turtle was done with watercolor pencils and pens.

This seahorse canvas was done with acrylic paint, watercolor pencils, pens, markers and glaze.

This is a new canvas I just started. The yellow background is mulberry tissue paper, and the sun and woman were done with watercolor pencils and acrylic paint. I still have a lot to do to this one-

I decided to open an Etsy shop and will try to sell some of these canvases and the beaded critters.



I am so excited about tomorrow night. We are going to the The Ringling Relics Retrospective Gallery Opening, Auction and Sale held in Sarasota at the Sarasota Architectural Salvage. I e-mailed an RSVP to them this evening stating we would be attending. I will be sure and take my camera so I can get some photos to share.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
