Tribute to Hiyao Miyazaki ...

So I'm at home recovering from a second total hip replacement (the right side, this time, I had the left one done in May) and I ran across my collection of Studio Ghibli movies.  Talk about your inspiration!  

Left to Right:  "Kiki", "Chihiro and Haku";  each on 4x4 inch bristol board in watercolor, ink and pencil.  Both available in my shop.

Clarke ...

Recently completed:  "Clarke"

8 x 10 inches;  ink, watercolor, pencil, gold paint on cold press paper

Elise ...

Watercolors and I never really got along, but I'd been inspired lately from seeing some other artists' work and wanted to try my hand at it again.  I pulled out my old cotman set that i received as a gift over 25 years ago and went to work on this piece.  I call it "Elise" because it reminded me of a song that came out way back then, too. :)
Available here.
