Well, I guess it wouldn’t be a Holiday Sale 2011 (yes, I know I originally mistakenly said 2012, sue me!) without a new entry in the 100 Drawings project.

This one is another in my “natural” theme where various elements of human biology and natural earth biology are blended. To put it simply, another painting of a girl in a tree. There’s more to it than that, but that’s another story for another day. Someday I’ll get THAT show all together. In the meanwhile, don’t forget to use the checkout code FESTIVUS to receive an additional 25% off this, and all other items in the online shop for the entire month of December. Tell your friends, and enjoy!

Not the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything, merely the next of the 100 Drawings series.

Hope to keep this train moving along, as I’ve been in a very productive painting and drawing jag lately, but that of course, is subject to change at any moment. Hope you like it, more to come soon!

This was a first.

This was the first 100 Drawings drawing that was commissioned by someone. Not so much in directing content, so much as “hey, I wanna buy your next of 100 Drawings”. The buyer wanted something for his artist sketchbook, which he is apparently filling up with the work of several artists he likes. After a series of emails, arrangements were made, the paper was shipped, and I got started.

This one was definitely fun. You may recall I’ve been yammering about getting back to basics and make 100 Drawings actually about DRAWINGS. Well, this was my chance. Since the paper was from the buyer’s sketchbook, it wouldn’t be able to handle heavy acrylic buildup, so I had to stay relatively simple. Of course, I hit a point where the drawing was just screaming for more color, so I broke out the watercolors and gouache. The result was Pony on My Mind. The title actually refers to how much the word “pony” has come into my daily language, I’m sure much to the dismay of my wife. The dog has become “puppy pony”, the cat “kitten pony”. I can’t explain it.

I think I may have said too much. Enjoy!
