Some sketches

I broke out the Cintiq once again.

Here are some warm-ups I did.  I'll post more as they are done.

Hey Nancy, Want This?

I've gone back to wood and watercolor for this next painting I just finished.  It's for the next WOW Art Show opening on Oct.17th.  The show is titled, "Hollywood DC: Lights! Camera! Election!" and it explores politics and celebrity.

This is from a photo of Nancy Reagan with the Easter Bunny (or more precisely, a guy in a furry Easter Bunny costume).  I have to say, politics aside, Mrs. Reagan had amazing style.  Makes you realize when you see the first lady of the US now that STYLE is missing from the White House.

I loved the image and had fun painting it.  Here's a link to the original photograph (taken in 1981), in case you want to compare.
