Sneak Peek Friday

Welcome everyone to Sneak Peek Friday.   I just got a very cool book from Amazon recommended by one of my friends.  I don't know too much about the artist, Elizabeth Peyton, except that she did a lot of portraits of some famous English people, ie Prince Harry.  Anyway as you see by the cover,  her use of color and the simplicity of her portraits is what's so appealing to me.  So that will be fun to explore .

A Place In The Sun,  5 x 7 image on 6 x 9 watercolor paper

 Another work in progress is establishing an Etsy site.  I been working on 2 possible ways to sell prints.  The first above is printed on 140 lb. watercolor paper, which I've seen some other artists do.  I've signed the bottom in pencil.  The weight feels nice in the hand.

Surfer Chicks,  8 x 10, matted..no frame

 The other idea would be to print on Epson Luster photo paper and I would sell it matted.  Love to hear any opinions on which way to go.  I was ready to order mats and then loved the print with the signature, too.

"Hesitant Pooch", 5" x 5", watercolor on aquaboard

I also worked on this little cutie patootie. yesterday.  He looked a bit frightened and was being led (dragged) back into the ocean.  I think he was done.  He's so cute.  I got so frustrated with painting on aquaboard that I'm going try the same picture with oil, which I haven't done in years. Wish me luck.

Anyway, if your wanting to participate to Sneak Peek Friday, just visit Jennifer at  "In the Studio"  and give it a try.
