I'm having a lot of fun
creating designs for
my store at
www.zazzle.com/joyart.
My artwork can be
placed on mugs, cards,
mousepads, caps, aprons,
keychains, buttons, etc.
This motif is proving
popular!

Ivory Soap in Enamel Dish, Embellished Print

Purchasing an embellished print
allows art buyers to enjoy
original-looking art for less than
"original" prices!
This is my artwork, printed
on card stock, and entirely
painted over in Oils.
Check my Etsy store for
this one, and others
like it!

Mushroom Family




After lots of experimenting
with Oil Pastels on
different surfaces,
I definitely recommend
using Colourfix Paper. It easily
takes multiple layers
of pastel.

Winter Wren

I'm loving the strength of line
and colour I'm able to get with
Oil Pastels.
Tip: always use the Sennelier
Pastels if you want to
try this medium!

Orange

SOLD

This is oil pastel
on mat board.
I discovered I can
safely use Fixatif
on Oil Pastels, both
between layers, and
as a final coat!

Copy of Girl With the Pearl Earring

Another one of the
ACEO's from my Old Masters

I think Vermeer is actually
my favourite non-living
artist...

Old Master's Copy

SOLD

I haven't created too many new works other than my
commissioned work lately, so I thought I'd post
an ACEO from a series I did about a year ago,
depicting details from Old Master's Paintings.
I was attracted to the sensitive mouth and pockmarked
face of this man, the musician, Gluck.
