It Took a Pandemic!

...to get me back in my studio! I still am not ready to start doing wood sculpture again but that time is getting much closer. What I am doing is:
1) Working on coloring pages. I've posted pages for digital download (3-5 per set) with themes of angels, birds and flowers and a few of my Alice illustrations showing up again.
2) Prepping older drawings and other art work to be posted as digital downloadable art in my Etsy shop (etsy.com/shop/ginnypearlstudios), Ginny Pearl Studio. It's my first time doing this but it seemed a necessity during this time of social distancing. There's no prepping with mats and/or frames, there's no packing and there is certainly no running out to ship. You simply purchase, download the files (pdf and jpeg) and either print on your own printer or have printed. These are the first two but I will be adding more in the future.


3) I'm also working on new original work using various mediums and just having fun. The coloring pages have to be so exact and it feels good to let go and stretch my creative wings again. I'll be posting some of these works as digitally downloadable prints also. I'll probably offer them later in the year as a matted print that you can order from me.

4) The other thing I've been working on is a charity project, two hand painted rocking chairs. They were supposed to be auctioned off last month but that didn't happen because of the virus. 
Here are a few photos of one of the chairs, Alice themed (of course). I'll post the other (Bluebirds are the theme) as soon as I get some photos of it (after the rain, haha.)
