2 in Johnny Norm's

1)"Madonna and Child," "Paintastics," colored pencil, ink. I wasn't crazy about those "Paintastics!" They were basically markers with a brush and didn't seem to work well on the yellow slick Moleskine paper, guess I'll try them on water color paper and see if they work better there.

2)"Power to the People." Ink and colored pencil. Used metallic pencils but they don't scan well. :-( (I seem to be good at discovering things that do NOT work well.)(Wahn!)

I really enjoy looking over all the wonderful art--each Mole that comes has more to see. So fun! (But feeling a little inadequte). Clicking on these makes them a little bigger for viewing details.

They're both wonderful designs leading the eye around - very inventive..and I love the little fingers and toes all over the place!

Thanks so much, John. I really appreciate that! I had fun (and a little frustration) doing these. I've done one more but am waiting to finish a fourth in order to scan them. :-D

I hope you enjoy them "in the flesh," as it were.

These are really fantastic Mary! So much going on, so many little details to enjoy. Plus, I always love seeing the use of french curves, they are a favorite tool of mine! BRAVO!

You're the one, Andrea, who gave me the idea to do this. With the stencil you sent me for Christmas!
