Celeste - New Orleans Voodoo Queen
"Celeste" is my Voodoo Queen, a dark princess from New Orleans, Louisiana. She stands outside of her voodoo shop, where people come to buy love potions, good luck charms and other gris-gris. She is conjuring the spirit of her lost love, barely visible beneath her fingertips.
This original drawing was inspired by one of my favorite songs by Louisiana rock band "Cowboy Mouth" - "Voodoo Shoppe".
"Down off the rampart,
there's a little hideaway,
and if you've got a brave heart,
you can come and visit any day.
There's a princess named Celeste,
eyes like fire, her hair's a mess,
incense burning, my luck is turning,
I can't tell but I'm under her spell."
"Celeste" contains lots of little details, from the boning on her burgundy corset to the skull and glasses of her lost lover, to the magical black cat and glass bottles full of potion in the shop window. The full moon and night sky lend their light, while Celeste works her voodoo with the bubbling cauldron.
Graphite, pencil, watercolor pencil, ink and pastel are used to create this original artwork. This drawing is 8.5 x 11 inches (21.5 x 28 cm). Prints are also available in my Etsy shop.

Lying In Wait - Dragon & Princess Art Drawing
"Lying In Wait" features an unsuspecting maiden princess traveling at breakneck speed into the clutches of a ravenous dragon.
This piece was inspired by a speed trap set by a clever policeman on a back country road. The police car was hidden in a long driveway flanked by tall bushes and as we maneuvered the twisting road, we spotted the flash of shiny cobalt blue. Needless to say, we were quite grateful that we were not speeding at the time and laughed that he was "like a dragon, lying in wait for passing travelers". This original drawing is the manifestation of that conversation.
Graphite, pencil, ink, colored pencil and pastel were used to create this original artwork. The colors are bold and you can see and feel the texture in the stone wall, the bark of the trees and the scales of the dragon. I am incredibly proud of this piece of fine art.
This original artwork is 12 x 18 inches (30.5 x 46 cm). Once matted, it will frame nicely to 16 x 20 (41 x 51 cm).
Both the original and the print are available in my Etsy shop!
