The Sheffer Home



Pencil on Paper, 5x7

I had the opportunity to stay with my best friend for a dew days, and while we were having tons of fun, I noticed that her home was filled with beautiful still life compositions. Cate and her husband have turned their university owned tiny cinder block apartment into a BEAUTIFUL home. :)

Sunflowers, Step 2


Mixed Media on Canvas 16x20 in.

Paint over the collage, cover with Mod-podge. These were done for my sister Tori, if anyone ever reminded me of a bright sunflower, its her. ;)

Sunflowers, Step 1


Collage on canvas 16x20 inches

This step is really fun, sort through paper and rip it up, design, then glue it in place. I've done this with the "Lilies" paintings, and the "Vacation" paintings but I've never shown what it looks like at this stage.

Spain





Illustration

I've been sick and haven't been drawing for a while but this was a fun one I've wanted to do for a long time :) I took this picture while my family was visiting Spain years ago but I couldn't decide if I wanted to draw, oil paint, or watercolor it. Instead I scanned my mom's scrapbook paper collection and used Photoshop to fill in a line drawing.
