My new Watercolor Painting, Pencil Drawing Fanarts and Crayons
I did some new art this month. The main highlight was the front cover for the Crow Doctor. It is a fantasy book that I recently published. It was interesting to write a book starting with the birth of the main character. Then again, he sort of shows up around the middle of the book. In the front cover, I painted the egg and his mother. The mask belonged to her favorite husband. As a widow, she wears the mask whenever she is missing him. The other projects were Resin art. I also made some crayon flowers. The other stuff...
Mandala Ink Art Spring Pattern
I made 4 new ink arts. It seemed like a good a time as any to make stencil arts. I hope that it makes you smile. I need to get around to making different type of ink arts. At least with stencils, I can make defined shapes. So far, I have been using black paper for it. This requires that I used bright, metallic colors. I need to get around to experimenting with it on white paper. I will deal with it when I deal with it. In any case, there is going to be a video of these artworks...
Music in Art History
Today, I wanted to show you some paintings about music. Folks have been painting musicians since the time of the pyramids. This tradition continued with the Greeks.

However, the lute continued to be the most popular instrument depicted in art. In Spain, the Guitar...
Fish Ink Art Spring
I did some new ink art. I decided to paint Fishes. I was bored of painting flowers. So, I decided to make a different type of picture. I need to remember to get more rubbing alcohol. I used it to thin out my paints. I am just stretching the pigments to the absolute limit. They still look nice as all. There is going to be a video of all these arts in my Artsy Sister Youtube channel. Do not forget to give a like and subscribe. The fishes are tropical. I do not know their names. I just looked up...
Ink Art Spring Flower Arts on Black and White Paper
I made some new ink arts. I was going for a spring type of feel. It is a bit early for spring. However, in Florida the flowers are blooming. So, it feels like a good a time as any to paint flowers. I find such subject matters amusing. I could also paint Mantises again. Colorful bugs are hilarious to paint. I used a lot of glitter paint around the edges. The white paper is pretty big. It gives me plenty of room to make complicated works of art. I need to meditate things around the edges. There is a video...
