Pictures for Allison

I told my friend, Andrea that I'd make a couple pictures for her daughter, Allison's, bedroom. Andrea wanted the drawings to be based on Alli's bedspread.
Here's what I came up with:

This is the first one I did. (My favorite of the 2.)

And here's the second one.

Here is how they look together. The colors I used are green, pink, blue, silver, and a plumish sort of purple (I'm sure that's the official name).
I can't wait for Andrea and Alli to see them on Monday! I love having projects for specific people, way funner than just drawing to draw.

Art For the Boys

I wish I was a better photographer with a better camera, but oh well, hopefully you can sorta see what I was going for in these pictures.

I tried to make some pictures that were a little more "boy-ish" (as in, no purples and pinks), and it limited my color pallet considerably! Well, now that I am posting what I came up with, I realize that the flowers in this picture take the boyishness right out of it! So, any suggestions on masculine flowers would be greatly appreciated! I used green, red, blue, light blue, and yellow in this one.

I feel that this one achieved boyishness very nicely! (And Eva just agreed with me, as she reads over my shoulder.) I used blue, yellow, orange, green, and red in this one. And no flowers! (It's harder than you'd think for me not to use flowers!)

Dragonfly

This was done for a lady that works with Brian. She was having a baby and Brian thought he heard her say the nursery was going to be pink and green with dragonflies. So he requested I draw this picture for the baby's nursery. Well, when I gave Heather the picture, it turns out that Brian overheard a conversation that had nothing to do with the nursery. Luckily, the nursery is a small room, and hadn't been decorated yet, so I guess that Heather can now decorate it in pink and green dragonflies, thanks to Brian and I!
