Colorful Kelly, a Little Surprise of Color

This sketch totally surprised me—I’d never done a thing like it before. Inspired by Kelly awaking from a nap on my desk, I’d been about to try out these watercolor pencils while she was sleeping. I discovered that what I thought was black was navy blue and decided to go ahead. I’m so glad I […]

We don’t really celebrate any one tradition for the winter holidays, but we enjoy sharing traditions of all our friends.

It could have been that, while I worked on that design on […]
