Owl in watercolor

This is my first venture into watercolor and I can't seem to finish this Owl.  Don't know why, but I trust the Universe knows when/if I will finish it.

This is Alley from Zinnia in South Pasadena, an excellent store with a real silly kitty.  http://www.zinnia.biz.com/

Christmas Villages

I was at Ross the other day, and I saw these dome pedestal cupcake holders.  They are made from glass, come in two pieces, the pedestal foot and the dome.  The box said they were display domes for "cupcakes", well only one cupcake could fit. 
As I was standing there I got a "vision", yes a "vision".  I saw mini christmas villages under glass.  So I bought the cupcake domes, came home, dragged out all my christmas stuff and created these sparkly mini scenes. 
I hope you like them.

Dia de los Muertos

This is my latest oversized card made to celebrate Dia de los Muertos.  I love the way Catarina looks like she's stepping out of the hacienda doorway, dressed in her finest, with her hat and her skeleton filled birdcage dress.  It reminds me of the Aztec Goddess Coatlique with her skull skirt.  I've been finding inspiration this year for all my Halloween and Day of the Dead art within the Aztec pantheon. 
Well, I hope you like my latest creation!

Halloween in my Studio

I just love Halloween, and if its possible I love "making" Halloween Arte even more!  This year I'm working on Sugar Skulls, Arte Cards and some 3d Muerto Scenes!  Hope you like them.

The Eschaton

This little guy was created in a Michael DeMeng workshop at Zinnia in South Pasadena.  I really look forward to when Michael DeMeng teaches in southern califonria.  I enjoy his teaching style, which is well informed, on hands-demonstrations and with a real sense of purpose. 

I've been introduced to Terrence McKenna by my good friend Martin Madzarevic, and this arte piece is named in honor of Mr. McKenna.  I've named him, The Eschaton.  meaning The last thing. "The Eschaton is conceived of as a boundaryless and causeless chaotic attractor that is drawing all space and time deeper into states of novel connection and complexity." 

The Eschaton holds a bell in his left hand, which will signal the "end of all things" and he holds the universe in the right hand with the Earth at the center.
