Mystery Pet Portrait
November 20, 2009
Tis the season for custom Pet Portraits and Pen & Inks! I love the hustle and bustle this time of year, the steady stream of work in the studio, the variety of subject matter, reuniting with old clients, and meeting new ones…it’s an exciting time…the only downside, is having to keep everything top-secret until after Christmas…so here’s a sneak peek of a mystery pup in progress…don’t you just love that patterned paper? …and those giant ears!

P.S. I still have time for more Christmas commissions! Email heather@FLYoungStudio.com for a quote and time estimate.
Bonaventure Cemetery Fountain – Savannah
November 19, 2009
One of the most beautiful places in Savannah, Bonaventure Cemetery. I’m really preferring this color version to the old b&w.

This time, a peek at the “uncropped” painting. I rather like the contrast of the tightly sketched line work vs. the loosely applied washes. Thoughts on framing? I’m tempted to find a framing style that would allow for these haphazard washes to be viewed…

a little nostalgia for your Tuesday..

Bekah came across a card, addressed to me, from say 3 or 4 years ago.

I remember Miss Joy quite well, and this just warms my heart!

Little finds like this remind me of how much I enjoyed teaching art. I think we are all born with a full supply of creativity, that sadly, whittles away the older we get. Working with the little ones (white at times exhausting) proved a constant source of inspiration…maybe one day, I’ll sign up again.

This “rework” is Nick’s fav. I’m kind of liking the antique feel to these color versions myself. I’m thinking 8×10″ prints, or smaller perhaps…thoughts?

We’ll refer to these little gems as “the second generation,” as they are a bit different. They are printed with the finest archival inks onto a lovely Epson paper, a tad smaller than the originals, they measure 5″x5″. Each comes hand-signed by yours truly, and is guaranteed to add a little spunk to your kitchen! The best part? Only $12 per print!!!




Now if I could just decide which to hang in my kitchen? Check out the full line up of Foodies at The Produce Stand.

Thanks to a “heads up” by the lovely Victoria Bennett Beyer, I found out about a little contest, and sure enough, made the cut! Thanks for the lovely write up Simply Hue!
Lafayette Square Fountain (revisited)

Of all the Savannah Pen & Ink sketches I’ve done over the years, this one has always been the favorite. I love the sneak peak of St. John’s Cathedral through the trees, and I sure hope I’ve done it justice by adding a splash of color…feel free to critique! Oh and to refresh your memory, here’s the classic black & white version.

it’s a fine line between under and over-working. A bit strange to see these old works with a pinch of color.
