new year, new art

I've been wanting to do some new art for quite awhile but took a long break over the holidays to think about what I wanted to do. I've got several ideas swimming around in my head and it's nice to finally start putting them on paper! Here are a few mixed media pieces I just finished up.

This first one is probably my favorite. It references John 15:11-12 (note the house numbers) and reads, "This is my commandment: that you love one another, that your joy may be full" in black text under the row of houses. Chimneys, doors, and the moon are text from my Bible.

I've also started a series of seasonal prints featuring a sweet little girl who likes polka dots! These girls just make me so happy! Here are the first two in the series. I have Easter and Mother's Day versions in the works so stay tuned...

Note...all my new prints are now available on my Etsy, and you can see better pics in my Flickr photos.
