:) Thought I'd share some new work. Hope everyone is having a nice week. :)

I recently finished this piece for my new portfolio . It’s from a sketch I did last year of a witch girl and her puppy. They’re both happy because it’s the puppy’s first broom ride. Not only is he managing to hold on, he’s also loving every minute of the ride. It’s even better than being in the car because he doesn’t have to stick his head out a window to get air. I also have a black and white version. Please visit my website, sruble.com , to learn more about my art and writing projects. p.s. Halloween is only 77 days away

Dad's loving care is full of fun!

The dragon and the fire breathing puppy: For this painting, I wanted to play around with primary colors, layering and texture. Here's a detail that shows those things a little better: If you're interested in the evolution of this painting, I showed the process of creating it here . Please visit sruble.com to learn more about my art and projects, or my blog to see more recent art.

I’ve been experimenting with my digital style to make it more painterly and yet retain the flat color that I like so much. This first piece of new art is an example of that experiment and works for the CBIG blog prompt this month (outside) and the Illustration Friday prompt for this week (atmosphere). Instead of raining cats and dogs, it’s raining on the cats and dogs! Please visit sruble.com to learn more about my art and projects, or my blog to see more recent art.

I decided that a black dog for Halloween might be an interesting change from the usual black cat. I might have to tell a story about this puppy.  Autumn leaves and Halloween pumpkins Visit my website to learn more about my art and projects, or visit my blog to see more autumn and Halloween art.
