E is for Eva's Elephant

 

Felt like playing, really playing with painting today.  Some past projects kept coming to mind.
 A while back I did a watercolor for a special new baby using jungle animals to make his initials,
 A. K. H. to fit into the jungle nursery theme.

I had done some really fun patterning on letters as well, using a fine micro pigment ink pen.  I can't find any pictures of those, one again, was for a new baby, Cooper.  Well, I thought about putting the two together.   Eva is a baby from down the road, so I thought I would do a test project for her.  Combining the patterned letter with a little animal watercolor turned out really sweet. 

This was soooooo much fun.  The fun thing about the patterning is it can go on FOREVER! 

 I was in a hurry, so I had to limit the fun swirls and dots and loops but if I had time I

could have mindlessly played for hours, and it pretty much just gets better and better. 

The little elephant was sweet I thought, soft and babyish. 

I had a great time in just my little world, projecting sweet dreams into a special piece

for a special little one 

 

Thinking I just might add a new line to my Etsy shop.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thank you for sharing this little slice of my life!
