Year of the Wood Snake artwork titled ‘Time for a Change’ in reference to the Lunar New Year Zodiac animals. The red paper and holographic vinyl snake sheds its delicate Tengucho paper skin from the previous year. It is nestled in a laser etched watercolor paper plum tree with copious pink blossoms. The wood surround is also laser cut with shell veneer and 24k gold leaf accents. Year of the Wood Dragon is part of a Lunar New Year Zodiac series and features a cut paper and holographic vinyl dragon emerging from a laser carved wood surround. The green dragon is painted in watercolor and gouache with a wood, paper, and faux jade background. The dragon corners were hand sculpted in clay, molded, and cast in bronze with an antique patina applied. This unicorn piece titled ‘A Gilded Chain is Still a Chain’ is based loosely on the medieval Unicorn Tapestries. The artwork is made of intricately laser cut and layered cloth book papers, embroidered in real gold and silk embroidery threads. The unicorn is painted on cut silk watercolor paper with watercolor and gouache. The piece is embellished with 13k white and 24k yellow gold leaf and vintage glass beads.

For #artadventcalendar #day9 , a cactus trio I painted in a class thru Denver Botanic Gardens' School of Botanical Art and Illustration. This was in colored pencil, watercolor, and gouache. I think I spent more time on the silly little rocks than the plants... Whose idea was this composition?!

It's a closeup from a larger composition, completed in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil.

Finishing up my holiday painting today 🎉

Here's a look at the first "winter Woolbeast", from a few years ago...

This was also the first time I used gouache in a watercolor painting, and fell MADLY in love with that process.
watercolor painting of a yellow furry creature wearing a green scarf, with a sprig of holly growing from its head. It's looking with wonder at some giant snowflakes.
