I recently finished 3 pieces: 2 small panels (below, the hummingbird and the buffalo) and 1 big honkin’ mo fo (below, the horse, which I still need to hang on the wall).

I used cardboard as my canvas (yep, all those Amazon.com and IKEA boxes are good for something!).

Here’s my secret process: On the Google Images website, I searched for illustrations of a subject I wanted to paint (a humingbird, for example). When I found an illustration I liked, I printed it out (on normal paper), cut it out, placed it on the cardboard (after I had painted my background color), traced it, then painted it (with inexpensive acryllic paint). Yea, Baby! Now that’s hot (for someone who can’t draw)!

My style is probably best described as … um … “minimalist.” This is truly Zen pop art (whatever that is).

It’s been so much fun to come up with a vision for my living space (including the art) and then create the art for it.
