Postcards: Sunset Over Madison

Just another sunset over downtown, but in the winter the steam towers produce a billowing canvas of warm colors against the cool sky.

Postcards: Leaves on the Bricks

Normally I wait to share a card until after it has been received, but my production exceeds my exports lately.  This is probably my best documented watercolor to date.  I had been meaning to make this image as a print, but I instead adapted it to a paint for practice.

I started by making the stones different colors, just help keep them from blending all together.

Then I started layering brown over all the bricks to really bring the saturation down, and adding colors to the leaves.

Then I finished with filling in the grout.

Postcards: The Clipshow

Art production was low this weekend.  Between taking care of a sick kid and a Minecraft project, no scanning happened.  And so, the clipshow!  A few of my favorites as I've explored different styles this past year.

Postcards: Watercolor Sunrise

Inspired by Lucy Bellwood's recent Inktober drawings and Joan of Art's sketching tins, I have tried some watercolor landscapes recently.  I haven't tried this out in the world yet; I start with a photo I've taken with my phone.

Postcards: Cicada Print

Even making postcards with linoleum blocks, the art is always a little different.
