Even though I got a little sick this weekend, it was a very very nice one. I woke up Saturday and went through old sketches I had scanned in high school and college for any untapped ideas and thought I should get back in the habit of having a sketchbook/journal again. So, I picked up a ruled Van Gogh Moleskine at a nearby stationary store. Also, while out, this book caught my eye, and I couldn’t put it back on the shelf (which is so bizarre, cuz business and job books usually turn me off so thoroughly)!

What also made this weekend great was early Sunday morning, while we were asleep, we made our first sales! Holy cow! We have a series of ACEO cards (the cardinal, owl, peacock and cardinal) up in the shop, made from the watercolor birds I did a little while back. Here’s to many more sales in the future!

The one the middle-top-left, with the pompadour, reminds me a little of Jack, hehe!

I had an impulse to one more for my watercolor bird series and I wanted something pink this time! I had to do a little rearranging, but they fit together quite nicely now.

So, the series is complete, for now, and I couldn’t be happier with how they all turned out! They are all sitting pretty in our front room, which I hope to get pictures of this weekend, once I have time to finish up on spring cleaning.

The last of this series was the falcon, which I’m dedicating to Jack. <3 Here are some detail shots:
