Posted on November 21, 2022 by dkatiepowellart

This was sketched quickly in waterproof inks. A lot of controversy surrounded the Pyramid in front of the Louvre, by I.M.Pei. I have some of those trepidations myself, but it has grown on me. It was created to allow for … Continue reading →

Ranunculus

Posted on September 26, 2022 by dkatiepowellart

Okay, the first hurdle was spelling it correctly — I am dyslexic and oh-boy this one kept wanting to be turned around! A mix of inks for shadows, and watercolor… and I also removed watercolor from it. I think because … Continue reading →

USk: NW Portland USPS

Posted on September 18, 2022 by dkatiepowellart

Posted on September 11, 2022 by dkatiepowellart
