Ink Sketches

I've recently fallen in love with ink!! It allows me to portray the realism of the photograph while enjoying the whimsical nature of my artistic style.





"My Old Kentucky Home"

16x20" acrylic on canvas
A close friend of mine asked me to paint her something that would remind her of home. She said all she wanted was it to have an RC Cola and a Moon Pie somewhere in the painting. Since I'm from Kentucky too, I understood exactly what she meant. So I created an old store front with a sleeping dog. Home sweet home....

"The Defenders"

24x36" acrylic on canvas.
I was asked to paint a recreation of this beautiful painting, originally by Elizabeth Kinaha. (www.elizabethkinaha.com)
