Piggin' Out on Lime Snowcones

8.5x11 colored pencil on Bienfang 50 lb paper of three pigs who had been caught eating snowcones and the far right guy had too many lime flavored ones! Whimsical art is always fun and these guys were drawn over the weekend here in the cool pines, so we know they're not suffering in the sweltering Texas heat, LOL!
Staedtler, Koh-i-Noor, and Liqui-Mark CPs used.  Later I could add water for a different effect but do like the graphic dimensions of these fellows hamming it up.

Retro Rooster collage

10 x 14.75 mixed media (watercolor, acrylics, newspaper, napkins, catalog pages, ink) I composed over a failed geranium watercolor. The rooster head and neck were from a former failed barnyard painting with him and 2 hens that did not quite work. The hens I cut out also and adhered to an old shack scene called "Chicken Ranch", that some may remember. His purple legs just kill me; feathers in front are from newspaper photos of old wood. It is a conglomeration of elements with a whole lot of country style and was fun to make.
