Bookmarks

I thought I’d show some bookmarks I’ve been working on. Sorry for the late post but it’s been a busy week as we get ready to travel from Texas to Tennessee to pickup our new Oliver Travel Trailer.

I did, however, manage to paint a couple of bookmarks that I’m considering laminating and selling.

Hope you enjoy. Next week we’ll be on the road so I hope to have time to post a longer piece. I’ll be taking my travel kit so hopefully I’ll get some nice paintings and sketches done.

In the mean time, go make some art!
