WOW...Halloween and a sick little boy have really kept me out of the studio lately. Sorry!  I'm back and getting geared up for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I had a blast creating our family Halloween costumes this year.  Here is a pic of us...Steampunk style:

It's one of my favorite holidays because it is something we do together as a family. The boys really racked up on the candy too!  

Now, on to some art stuff. I like to switch up every now and then to different mediums. I am doing some Pen and Ink with Watercolor right now.  I have a couple of in progress shots followed by the finished piece.  Here is the first step. I drew the design, applied the first ink and then the watercolor wash.

Next I complete the wash in watercolor and begin the detail process.

And here is the finished piece. It took appx 5-5 1/2hrs.  I think it turned out just perfect.

  Working on another pen & ink with watercolor and can't wait to share the WIP (work in progress) with you on my next blog!

Have a super day...it's almost the weekend!
