Latest Work for My Etsy Shop

It's been about a year since I sold anything on Etsy, but was fortunate to get this commission. I am happy to do a painting or drawing of any subject you might want, just contact me through my Etsy shop: www.kayork.etsy.com

Finally done, latest Moly entry!

After what has seemed like forever, I have finally finished my latest entry in my Moly and sent in on to Megan this morning! Yay!
The finished version is at the top, with ink added to the watercolor to go with Karen's ink added to her watercolor/colored pencil drawing of the hummingbird (travel theme: flight).

Moly-X Project and New Blog Find!

I am a bit overwhelmed by all that's going on at the moment--summer starting, three jobs going on, taking care of my mom, doing artwork, behind on correspondence, house-cleaning, gardening, paperwork, etc, etc!! One of my art projects is participating in the Moly_X_23 group. We have sent our Molys around one full circuit already and are now trying to get the second round moving. Well, I have fallen way behind what with everything else going on (my apologies, X-23ers!!), but I did finally get my new picture started this week. It is probably going to take a little while to get this done, but I'm patient! :) Hope everyone else is!



In the meantime, I ran across anew blog tonight, following on from touching base with my friend Kimberley Shaw's blog, the new one is called A Vintage Touch, authored by the amazing artist, Lara Harris. You must go take a look at her blog, and you can enter her giveaway for a fabulous original oil of one of YOUR favourite things! I'm thinking a teacup! :) Here's her address: please take a look! She's also on Flickr, my favourite place on the 'Net! http://www.avintagetouch.blogspot.com// Hopefully the link appears clickably in this post, too! I'm just not sure where! :) -- Oh! I've just discovered, if you click the title of this post it will take you directly to Lara's blog! Try it! :)

Pink Kimono

I'm having fun doing some of the prompts on the "A Fashionable Challange" Flickr group. Most of the time I am trying to do my own designs, but this week I couldn't help drawing this great Kimono I saw in a catalog.



Here is an example of one of my designs, for a prompt for an Easter frock.

It has been far too long since I posted something, but I should say I have been working, so that is good!! Here are two boxes of tea I have at the office where I am working temporarily.

If you have been watching my blog for awhile, you may remember me drawing another Celestial Seasonings box of tea awhile back . . .

Still Looking

I'm still looking for work--this is a really bad time for a designer to be job hunting, yikes!! Wish me luck!

I did take the train into the city yesterday (to dispute a parking ticket--I won, yay!), so was able to do some transit sketching. See more drawings from yesterday on my Flickr pages.

Hard Times

It's been awhile since I've stopped by my dear old blog, but I thought I should do so, update my profile photo (I have to admit I was using an old yearbook picture :), I just thought it was cute; now I have a current picture, albeit posterized and cropped to hide most of the age effects! :))

Anyway, I need to mention that I have been laid off from my job, so I am kind of struggling financially, so I'm hopeful my Etsy shop will take off more and I can make some money that way. See the link in the sidebar to the left and please take a look. Also, f you're interested, you can go to my Flickr account and see more of what I do artistically.

Shown above is a custom drawing I did for an Etsy client. I can do something similar for you, too, if you like! Just let me know, either through the Etsy site, or through Flickrmail on the Flickr site.


Thank you all so much. I do hope you are weathering the current economic storm better than I am!
