Charlotte Bronte, Victorian writer

Charlotte Bronte may be best known for her Victorian novel "Jane Eyre". In reading about her life, I was struck by not only how difficult it was, but horrified that apparently her father starved his children and they grew up malnourished. It amazes me how such a beautiful flower can come of such a catastrophic childhood. In this series of famous poets, authors, and artists, I begin with a pen and ink illustration, drawn with an old fashioned pen nib and India ink. Hand coloring the art is next, in this case it was colored pencil and white ink.
Digital embellishments give me exactly what I want and help me complete the image to set the mood I am looking for. I have been studying typography for some time now and it has no limits. I like the addition it brings to the art.

Charlotte original is available in Naquaiya Art Gallery. The giclee is available in my Etsy print shop.

Orange Sun

Orange Sun sunface is a new giclee print.  Maybe you have a child's room that could use a little sunshine or it could brighten a dining area or hall.  Square image suitable for square framing.
The image is from my original watercolor painting and is a continuing series which is all about making someone's day brighter.
Paper is heavy semi gloss paper 100% archival with intense detail and color.
This image can be printed larger or smaller.  Available as a textile too.  Email me if you need a further description.  I am experimenting with printing on canvas and embellishing with stitchery and beads.
For right now, this giclee is for sale in my Etsy Shop.
