Ann's Panda ...

 My sister-in-law sent me this photo of a -day-old baby Panda! 

Jane's Catty Card

 This photo card is from my friend Jane in Vermont. Woohoo! Together we are making the mail fun again!

Oodles of Poodles from Virginia!

A handmade postcard from my friend Virginia in Nebraska! 

Almost Complete Now ...

I started taking out the white because it seemed to distract, rather than add to the compositions. Not sure what else I will tweak. 

SO Close!

There are a few touchups and changes I want to make to this pair, but they are basically finished.

 

Sound the Horn! The Mail is In!

The top card is from my friend Joma, who lives somewhere in New Jersey. 

The bottom card is from my niece Jane, who lives in Milwaukee.

IT IS SO MUCH FUN TO GET MAIL THAT IS NOT A BILL OR AN AD FOR CARPET CLEANING OR WHATEVER! Thank you Joma, and Jane!

 

Paintings Progress

The top photo is too orange, and the bottom one is too green! I will try again tomorrow.
 

New Paintings

These two paintings are 16"x20", acrylic on canvas. There is a glare on the upper edge because of my lighting. These were inspired by one of the recent postcards I made. I love the intersection of the underlying shapes and the larger shapes formed by blocking out the red glaze. Fun to do, and fun to look at.
 

New Postcards Today

 

The color scheme here is bold, to say the least. Orange, Red, teal and gold. Some say you have to have neutrals to make bright colors sing. I am not sure about that.

Holiday Sale on my Website ElleCoyote!

 "Cave Painting", 8"x10", acrylic on paper, is one of the small paintings on sale for the holidays. All works are $25 and under.

"Leafy" Series Now Available for Purchase on ElleCoyote!

These four small (6"x6") paintings are acrylic on wood panels. They look spectacular together, but each one has a unique quality and can stand alone. They can be purchased together or separately on my website.

 

Unified

These postcards seemed uncoordinated, so I put a layer of Quinacridone Gold on them to unify the images.

Heart in the Mail!

 This charming hand-crocheted heart bookmark was made and sent to me by my friend Lauren.  It is fun to get different mail responses. Let's get that mail humming!

"Heart Chakra II"

 

This "Heart Chakra II" collage is a commission. Each collage is unique, because I use the collage paper I have on hand.

This beautiful and delicate painting is by my sister Anne. She sent it electronically.

Unevenly cut! LOL

Yellow-Orange, Violet and Red Violet

 

Leah's GORGEOUS Card!

 My friend Leah sent me this wonderful card, larger than a traditional postcard. It got a little scuffed up in the mail, but it is hauntingly beautiful as is! Kelp forest!

Yellow, Red Violet, Blue Violet Again

 

A postcard painting.
