(new artwork is slow lately, working on special orders at the moment) I've played with this artpiece quite a bit over the past few months digitally... These are variations of the same drawing Update 11/2/11 final drawing:

A very merry Birth Day to you, my friend!!! ♥

My art show is next week, so this week my creative space is filled with all sorts of different things: touch-ups to paintings, framing, greeting cards, art prints, glossing ceramic art tiles (4x4 in size), and filling jewelry stock of necklaces and earrings (scrabble tile size).  whew!  It's been busy around here but so worth it! Hope to see you at the show! :)

When I was 22 years old, I moved from California to Boston by riding a greyhound bus.  I gave away all my belongings (my music, my books, my art) because I was only taking 3 bags with me.  As a result, I have none of the art I created during those earlier years.  Luckily, one of my college girlfriends has kept one of the paintings I gave her and a few days ago she took a photo.  Blast from the past!  

Watercolors (one is a photograph and one is a scan of the same painting)

My "love scream" on wood has had a touch-up. before after:
