Elk Garden

I can't stop drawing deer and flowers and skulls...they are just too pretttttty. I'm having a Georgia O'Keeffe Renaissance.

Hmm, I think I like this "dark skull" look too.

And just for fun:

My work station! I just got my new computer up and running this weekend too (well my husband got it up and running, I just hovered annoying-like. But everything is running so awesome now! I was having so much lag with photoshop, it was so frustrating. Shiny new tower has fixed that. I've had the Cintiq 21UX for about 6 years now. Wonderful, wonderful tool. The desk chair is new too...my old one was so crappy and old ( a good ten years). Despite that I was stupidly attached to it, my husband had to throw it away when I wasn't home and slip this one in when I wasn't looking. I'm so glad he did now, because I love it now!

Those colors are just delicious... <3 You amaze me every time with all those awesome details.. the flowers and the skull look so realistic. Skulls and flowers somehow always fit together, somehow they compliment each other.

Thanks everyone! I

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it. Smiling

I love flowers and skulls. And I love painted skulls. I’d love to have some skulls or skull replicas to play around with painting or decorating. I’ve seen them with carved designs too and it looks very nice.

Day of the Dead art is great too, has a lot of these same themes, and celebrates LIFE.

Absolutely stunning! You know

Absolutely stunning! You know this reminds me of those skulls of the prehistoric beasties that fell to the tar pits. It has that nice, dark feel to it with those Gorgeous markings. I love darker skulls in comparison to the white ones, the tar pit like coloration seems to give them just so much more life <3
