Rainy Days In April

Another Rainy Day

This is my 3rd version of this umbrella. Maybe because April is so full of rainy days. I first created this umbrella a couple of years ago in April with a yellow bird and no a flower, and revised it for a blustery autumn rainy day with lots of leaves, so here it returns with hopes of May flowers and sunny days to follow.

Seeing Tulips!

Yippee! Spring is Here!

From the bleakness of a long Cleveland winter I am thrilled to finally see my tulips make their appearance. So of course, I had to do an illustration of tulips to celebrate their long awaited arrival.

The Letter R for Rabbit

The Letter R

The last time I did the letter R is was around Valentine's Day and I connected it to looking for Mr. Right with the R as a superhero. Maybe because it is shortly after Easter or that I am born in the year of the Rabbit you see this cute rabbit before you evolving out of the letter R.

S is for Seal

S is for Seal

I am doing a show this summer which will feature my illustrated letters. I just realized my letter S that I created awhile ago is more holiday piece. So here is a new letter S as a cute seal in a sailor hat holding a starfish.

Ranunculus Inspiration

Ranunculus on Blue

After playing with pansies, I felt like I wanted to do more flowers. Ranunculus with it many petals caught my interest. Although stylized here, they make a bold statement. So here is a pop of color to brighten any gray day.

Picture Pansies

Pansy Passion

 I use to think of pansies as being old fashioned but I thought they could look a bit contemporary with a different look. So here our some pansies for spring and warmer weather!

Okay, okay, I know we are not half way through March, but after the snow flurries today, I am pushing for April and forsythia! I know its yellow flowers of sunshine make a brief appearance, but it is the promise of Spring!
