I agree nursing is really a vocation, as they say, cos its darn hard work physically and emotionally. She has my admiration. Its a great gift for your friend.
Just popping in again to point out the vibrancy of the colours in your drawings that give them such life (not that I'm comparing them to anyone else's here, mind)... gorgeous! :)
Hi Joan, Your artwork is so colorful and happy! Thank you for coming by my blog and saying hello. I am sad to say Opie passed away rather suddenly in March. He began having violent seizures due to a suspected brain tumour. It was so upsetting and I am still messed up about it. I never mentioned it on my blog because I wanted my blog to be a happy place. I did talk about it on facebook, feel free to come join me there. HUGS!
Hi! I'm an outdoor-lovin' optimist, biologist/botanist, and habitual creator of art-stuff. I believe the key to our most fundamental and truest part of ourselves is found in nature and I constantly draw on it for inspiration.
"Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more".
- Vincent van Gogh
Just shoot me an email at joanyoshioka(at)gmail(dot)com! The oil paintings were painted with artist grade paints on cotton canvas with sides painted black so they don't have to be framed; they hang perfectly with a little nail (not pretentious at all!). Watercolors are on Arches 140 lb. watercolor paper using artist grade paints; the art cards are sent out in a sturdy plastic art card sleeve. If you'd like the original watercolor matted, please let me know. All prints are giclee meaning they are made with archival pigment dyes and are professionally mounted on acid free foam board with acid free mats in a clear cellophane envelop. Please note that the colors in the originals may differ from your screen.
