Happy New Year + New ACEOs

Happy New Year 2009 to all!!!!

I have two new ACEOs and one new bookmark (I took advantage of my day off). I brightened the original bird drawing from before so I rescanned it here. I did a tiger...I rather like how that one turned out. There's an Ace of Diamonds on the back of that one. I did the graphite kitties I entitled, "Hugs and Kisses."

The Barack Obama bookmark I did as part of the Classical Painters group challenge on Ebay, which was to draw/paint Barack Obama. I was on this kick with the gouache relief so naturally that's what I did. I tied a red ribbon to it. I painted the flag with color (everything else including the face in white) before adding the ink. I like the final version for it's almost primitive graphic look. That appeals to me very much and reminds me how much I like linocuts and wood cuts. Click on them to see them bigger.
