Sisters on Vacation

Published on March 28, 2010 in Art, Art by black women, ART GALLERY, Art Sale, Black Children, Children, Digital Art, Faces and Pretty Picture Gallery. 1 Comment

The little sister to the big sister says,
“I’m mom’s favorite.”
Big sister: “What? No you’re not.”
Little sister: “Sure I am, she told me just yesterday.”
Big sister: “She can’t like you too much, she made you come out here in the middle of nowhere in this blazing heat.”
Little sister: “I can’t argue with that.”

Playful, colorful and fun is two sisters laying around on a lazy day in the sun. The big sister looks so annoyed by her sibling’s so-called family status and strikes to burst her bubble with a bit of reality. Family vacations, they’re only fun when you cartoon them.

Painting details: High texture, high color, solid black faces, exaggerated features such as ears and eyes, large eye lashes, floral buttons, polka dots and swirling water.

Thanks for visiting SUNDRIP

This multi-media piece was painted on tissue paper which was then mounted on a canvas sheet. The illustration shows a kitty and her little bird friend saying goodbye as the sun sets on their day.

Garage Sale Gone Wrong

Published on January 6, 2010 in Art, Art by black women, Art Sale, Pretty Picture Gallery and Women. 2 Comments

We all know one, love one, a person who can’t walk away from a garage sale. She’ll turn the car around in the middle of the street or leap over fences to grab a cheap doodad. There we are spectators in her compulsion. Helpless to stop her we choke on the dust she leaves behind as she dives for that very special doily. Thirty-five cents, a quarter, the sound of such words makes her drool. Will she ever stop? Is there help for her? Will there ever be a Garage Sale Support Group for people addicted to other people’s junk sitting on the side of the road? If there is such a group surely they can help the woman in this painting who totally lost control when the homeowner extended her sale by one day.

Swan and Star

From the beak you can see this is a male swan, a cob. His arms are stretched wide where a star bounces from his wing and spreads light across the sky.

Tapestry

I confess, I love era paintings, tapestry, paisley, mismatch patterns and oversize flowers. These are the inspirations for my experimental painting below.
