Looking out at Sea by Kristy Spring-Brown

We love visiting the beach as a family. The sand is the BEST playground for children giving them endless hours of enjoyment. I will watch my daughter Jem head down to the water many times to fill up her bucket with water. She will often pause for a moment and glance out at sea, admiring its beauty and vastness. It is that image which has inspired this piece of artwork.
Budding Artist by Marsha Elliott

This is my little 2 year old granddaughter, Evelyn. She loves to paint just like her Gramma.

Our Story ~ David and Goliath by Hal Smith

Sometimes you have a vision of what you want but after several weeks you find you have completely lost your way. This picture I just could not get, so I did the smart thing and gave up. I just kept working it and it just kept getting more, not better. I think I got it to a finished point, but very dissatisfied with it. first boys I tried and they are not as much fun as little girls with their hair and fancy dresses. Boys are not for me I guess.
Albert Cropper: Monster Stopper! by Trystan Mitchell

During the late1800’s in Cthornwall, the ‘bug’ hunter Albert Cropper was a familiar figure tramping the byways and cliff paths of the county, peddling his services in much the same way as itinerant knife grinders or mole catchers of the time. His father operated a night soil collection business in Redruth . As an offshoot to this already dangerous work, Albert became the family firm’s parabiologist, specialising after a couple of grim encounters on the early morning collection round involving a Devonian tape lizard and a couple of giant stool grubs. Seeing the potential for travel and the occasional balloon ride out to the Scilly Isles, Albert went freelance in 1879 with the aid of a sponsorship deal from Sir Richard Trevithick , the famed Cthornish inventor, mining engineer and monster trap designer. This particular image was made as part of the 1885 Eldritch Expedition to Bodmin Moor and its interior, to which Albert was co-opted by local magistrates as Lady Elizabeth’s native tracker. It shows Albert presenting a captive grockle mite after an emergency roadside extraction from a Belgian tourist who had visited the shire without first taking the right inoculations. /

Recent Work

American Idol Wannabe #2 by Sharon K. Shubert

As I take inventory of my portfolio here, I am finding more and more previously uploaded works that disappeared when I did a bulk edit. So if you’ve seen this work before, this is a re-post. There are 3 works in the American Idol Wannabe theme. I can’t find any of them on Red Bubble now, so I’m adding them back today. This is #2 of 3 watercolor and india ink paintings of this theme, on Strathmore 140 lb. cold press. I have designed several other works and t-shirts from this painting. Inspired, of course, by the popular t.v. show, American Idol and the humorous contestants.
