PPF and Petro Carved Rock

Hello PPFers! I think I'm finally done with "Cliff Guardian". I put some detail into the lizard's head and the dwellings. Maybe I will do more later but for now I'm going to say its done.

I started thinking it would be nice to make a larger painting for a tshirt on Zazzle since the first ones were all from ACEOs or straight from the Wacom pad. So I started this sketch of an iguana rock band!

Next week I will start painting it with watercolors...but I couldn't resist goofing around in Photoshop Elements before I put the real paint on. I photographed the sketch as I went along and here's what I did in Photoshop to the lead guitar player before I drew the rest of the band on the paper.

I finally found the bag with some of the carved rocks I did for the Etsy shop a couple years ago. I'm still unpacking from our two major moves,lol. Might still be a while till I get the shop back up but in the meantime I can show ya the rocks from here.
 Happy PPF. Thank you Eva and Kristin for hosting our party every Friday !!!! Hugs, Deb

Petroglyphs and PPF

Hello everyone! First of all for PPF this week here is the collared lizard watercolor in progress, " Cliff Guardian". I got a little carried away practicing making watermarks but that became half the fun,lol.




Also I want to share another graphic I did on the Wacom pad for a new Tshirt design (same theme rockin lizards of course!). The new tshirt is available at http://www.zazzle.com/geckoguru?rf=238157499475324454 The tshirt says on it "Reptiles Rock" but this is just a close up of the graphic.


And now for the petroglyphs...we saw these in Snow Canyon State Park on New Years Day. Happy New Year and Happy PPF and Happy Exploring everyone!!! Hugs, Deb
