Pelican Detail Distressed, Pelican This is a painting of a Northern Pelican. It was created using Acrylics mostly with a hit of oils on top. The substrate used is a cel film used typically by old school animators. I find the surface smooth and light to work on. The ability to sand and rub off items unwanted is a real benefit of working on synthetic substrates. I usually work very fast and in

a little girls dream come true AKA Pink Poofy Thing!Hi gang, attached is a sample of how I start an illustration and the final. The study is a simple sketch for form. But for me the sketch also needs light mass and direction to help the form. So it's rare that I would have a full tight pencil drawing before painting. It is more of a push and pull process.I hope you get something from it. ...

Lamb Guache Study by Anthony Morrow We took the kids to up state NY to visit an artist friend named Mona Marc. Not far from her beautiful farm at a local creamery (not to be mistaken with the kind that can make you into ashes, but makes milk and cheese) the ewes were being weened. I am not sure who enjoyed it more the adults or the children. It was a bit of a visual wonderland. Quaint, rustic

Some Hat by Anthony Morrow I have been increasingly influenced by fashion this week. Especially shoots that depict a hint of the retro and classics of the 40's and 50's. Above is a Charcoal on BFK I completed today. Hope you enjoy it. Take some time and make something today. You deserve it.

Stacked Coffee Mugs by Anthony Morrow Above is a gauche painting, a study for a larger piece I will be creating.. we'll see. The study is such an important part of the process. It's the perfect chance to be loose, a bit more care free and discover your work. A chance to mess up with no worries or ramifications because it's the work towards the final piece, the process, not the completed work.

Victorian Shoes by Anthony Morrow These two shoes were small collectable ceramic shoes I had seen in a retail shop. The miniaturization and material combination called out to be painted. I set these two up pretty loosely and began a sketch than created the final piece in Painter. Target picked them up for a while as framed prints as did Sunrise for greeting cards. They ended up published in

"Augustus" by Anthony Morrow I wanted to share my painting completed today of an Augustus Tulip.  It's a fact that during the height of the "Tulip Mania" in the 17th Century. Bulbs of the virus infected Semper Augustus would sell for the equivalent of up to ten years wages for a skilled craftsman of that time. This piece was inspired by the now stained and worn botanical prints of the 17th

Westie pup eager to please by Anthony Morrow A true gentleman by Anthony Morrow There is something about the Westie that captures my heart and emotions.

"Patriotic" Lab "Patriotic" Flag "Patriotic" Fish I have created a new line of images for Surtex this year and am particularly pleased at the attention the line of Patriotic images are getting. Let me know your thoughts!! How about a martini glass for the old red white and blue? I will be producing wood panel signs and tee shirts of these designs.

Boy, it sure doesn't feel like spring yet. In like a lion and still roaring, but I hear some 70 and 80 degree days are on their way soon. So in honor of springs arrival I wanted to share some brand new blooms created here at the studio.

PRECIDIO MELAMINE PICNIC SET, BY ANTHONY MORROW I wanted to share these picnic plates from the fantastic and fresh company, Precidio. These did very well at Bed Bath & Beyond, unfortunately after 3 years on the shelves I think it is time to put them to "BED" and develop a new line. Sorry for the bad pun!

little box of bugs by Anthony Morrow I was extremely excited to get a call from Papyrus and ask to rerun the license for "Little Box of Bugs". The product did very well the past 3 years and got a new lease on life so to speak. You can find little box of bugs HERE at the Papyrus online store, or any of the local retail chains, if you happen to be lucky enough to live near one.
