Took a break from black ink and relief prints to work with watercolor, pastel and color (!) in this portrait of Ava, a fawn-colored Doberman.
Commissioned for a gift, there’s a bit of a ‘small world’ story to go with the artwork. The purchaser now lives in China, but the recipient is local. Apparently Ava lived nearby several years ago and participated in a monthly dog walk that was dubbed the Pooch Patrol. One of the evening strolls, and snapshots of the event, inspired my print, Ready to Walk – and there she is, with a couple of her walking buddies! Who knew?!

Just completed – another mixed media piece in the Imprints series! The client’s only specific requests were the finished size and the inclusion of a compass rose. The tiny compass rose print guided the overall theme and inspired the title of Imprints/Directions.

PorchRokr, the Highland Square festival that features bands on the porch and art on the lawn, is coming up this Saturday. Visitors can purchase Square Cards, good for art, food or music from participating vendors.
This year’s Square Card items from Joan Colbert Studios are tiny pieces of original art (ACEOs – art cards editions and originals). Measuring just 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches, most are mixed media or prints. Choose your favorite!
