Greeting Cards

A new style evolved this week. I've been trying to create my own kind of abstract-realism. Appropriately, The Phoenix came first. One more week of greeting cards then back to bridges!

Another Week of Greeting Cards

This week, I continued my lessons with Adobe Illustrator. The program is so easy to use that my cards were soon over processed! I'm trying to keep the painterly effects while designing professional looking cards. I'm working toward a marriage of art and design.

A Week of Greeting Cards

Last week, I applied watercolor techniques to my oils. This inspired me to work with watercolor again. I found a few greeting card companies that accept freelance submissions. I filled the cards in an interesting way with  lively negative spaces for text. I wonder if this will creep back into my oil paintings?
Next, I'll think of interesting, inspirational, happy text.
