There are a number of black and white photography challenges out there — and also a number of terrific black and white photos posted in response. I’m not really a photographer, but I am an artist who uses watercolor, acrylics, and inks. So every once in a while I like to see what some of my artworks look like when they are converted to black and white. Thought I’d share a few of those today.
This piece was just a fun project painted in response to a still-life art challenge.
It’s time to start painting my Christmas gift bags for this year. I finished the first two late last night. It’s one of my favorite holiday activities.
I participate in a Facebook Art Group, which issues a new challenge for us every month. This month’s challenge had to do with memories, and this is my response.
I’ve titled this little painting “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come.”
Lighthouse
On edge of cliff,
Stands serene and secure,
Consistently abating dark
With light.

Eighteen original sketches, plus duplicates of four of the pictures so that colorists can stretch their creativity by doing some of the pictures a second time with different color palettes or mediums.
If you enjoy coloring to relax or destress, these pictures are therapeutic. The book is lightweight, 6 x 9, easy to carry anywhere.

COLOR ME HAPPY
Please excuse the shadows around the edges. I cut these out of my sketchbook. The eggs are numbered because I used them for a contest on my Facebook page. But I left the numbers on there in case you’d like to drop down to the comment window and let me know which one you like best.
