Black Canyon

Watercolour

Trying to capture the depth of this canyon was a definite challenge.

Rawr Chocolate Packaging

I can't believe it was so long ago, but I designed doodles for Rawr Chocolate in 2009.
The tree design isn't mine though it looks great together with the rest.
The story is on their blog.

See below for what Rawr Chocolate is:
At Rawr we are devoted to making chocolate with the highest quality raw, organic ingredients we can find. Completely dairy-free with no added refined sugar, packed with antioxidants, no artificial this or the other, no hydrogenated or chemical preservative nonsense, no cheap emulsifiers and no colourings. Guilt-free chocolate! Completely raw, completely yummy!

For part of this, I dug out the oilbars and forgot that I needed turps to clean my hands.
Thankfully hubby was on hand with some thinners.

After Lowry



A modern take in a Lowry style, of sale shopping.
A bit of an experiment which probably would have gone in the bin at one time.  Glad I kept it!

Rejoicing desert roses

Watercolour
A3 sized on cartridge paper

This was the other part of the stamp I made at art class.  To continue the rose theme, I chose
Isaiah 35 - specifically "the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice..."  24 roses on this piece.
