Andrea and Anabelle: the art show


Here are a few recent pieces of art Anabelle and I have done. Above is a wax waffle. I'm am finding that all of the art that I do that I think is good tends to be about food or coffee...


This is one of my favorite coffee cups. When ever I try out a medium I'm not comfortable with or haven't used much before I seem to use it to do this cup. This is oil pastel- which I really loved. Its like using oily crayons.



This is charcoal. I'm pretty comfortable with charcoal. This is actually the first drawing I've done of Anabelle and Ava and even though I like them I think I will NOT be drawing them again soon. They are tough critics: "Why aren't there any flowers on my scooter?" "Why am I smaller than Anabelle?" "Why didn't you put the basket on my scooter?" (I put a fake basket on Ava's scooter because she complained about it so much.)



This is an origami house collage by Anabelle. She is brilliant, as you can plainly see.


This is a graphite pencil drawing by Anabelle. This is a great piece and it has inspired me to do an owl myself soon.
