I am on a roll.  For the latest Hershey's Kisses painting, I went back to the violet glass tile for the ground.  Look at the confusing and marvelous reflections!  If you have seen the dark chocolate Kisses, you may realize their foils are actually violet, not magenta as in my rendition.  I had to push their color toward reds to have them stand out in the cool violet negative space.

"Ba Ba Sheep" was my first "illustrated" painting, with lettering.  I got such a kick out of the experience that I wanted to make more.  "Kiss Me, I Am Your Prince" is the latest one.  Will you kiss the red-eyed frog?  Will he truly turn into a prince?  A question to consider carefully.  By the way, despite its flamboyant coloring, it is not poisonous.  So, will you kiss him?

Creativity begets creativity.  The other day, I was painting a couple of greeting cards for my Facebook fans.  One thing led to another.  By the time I was finished, I had two charming, small watercolors that I could list on Etsy!  I am particularly proud of this sheep painting with the "Ba Ba Ba" lettering.  So adorable!  Perhaps I should start a line of greeting cards!
