PIER ART: FINS AND FEATHERS

Colored draft titled "EVASIVE SPECIES" for the Pier Art: Fins and Feathers Main Street De Pere fundraiser. My design was chosen and I will be painting a 2' x 3' fiberglass walleye 3D sculpture that will be displayed this summer in downtown De Pere and auctioned off Sept. 18, 2010 to benefit Main Street De Pere and the Katherine Harper Riverwalk & Nature Viewing Pier

Add me to your favorites to keep updated on this and more fun art projects I will be working on.

Thanks, Paula

"Save One For Me"

This was done for Illustration Fridays blog, the theme for the week was "Wilderness". I would not want to be stranded in a prehistoric wilderness, how terrifying would that be?

This piece was done with prismacolor pencils and ink on watercolor paper, it is an ATC (Art Trading Card) size of 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" ©2010 Paula Radl

Art And About Fall Tour

My art set up at Petals Plus Gallery and Gifts 2009 Fall Art Tour

Sputnikfest T-shirt Design and Art Booth 2009

This is my art I had set up at Sputnikfest Sept.12 2009

The image I had designed of the "Alien Gothic" was used on this years Sputnikfest t-shirt at the Rahr West Art Museum in Manitowoc WI.   This festival was rated as one of the five best funkiest festivals in the United States in 2010 by Reader's Digest Magazine.

"Aliens to the rescue"

This is an alien themed piece I did with prismacolor pencils and ink. I like using aliens and other weird themes in my art.

Beneath The Deep Blue Sea

This is a watercolor and Ink piece I did using funky fish that came out of my head.

"Mr. Rogers Big Mistake"

This is a little weird drawing I did of Mr. Rogers, he always was so happy go lucky and really was a nice guy in real life also. He is trying to be friends with the Godzilla-like monster and doing his best to be neighborly. But the creature has other ideas I guess.

"Won't you be my neighbor?" Not!!

This I did with prismacolor pencils which measures 5" x 7".

PEEP and Chocolate Bunny "Friendship Farewell"

This is an ACEO or art trading card I did with an Easter theme to it. I used the traditional pink marshmellow PEEP and chocolate rabbit. It is titled "Friendship Farewell". Here is my little story to go with it.

"They toasted their friendship and bid their farwells....as tomorrow was the BIG hunt

and the children would be after their heads".

I know it is a bit morbid but that's what I came up with when I was drawing it...sorry it couldn't have been more cutesy. This one I did with prismacolor pencils and measures 2 1/2" x 3 1/2".

Tulipa

I am in a local art group named "Art and About", you can see our blog at http://www.artandabout54220.blogspot.com/. At our monthly meeting we have a theme that we picked the month before and each person does their version of that theme. Last month it was "tulip", so this was my version of a tulip. I kind of made it on the retro side with the pink flamingo and of course it had to have a spaceship in it as I am into the alien thing. This piece I did with prismacolor pencils and measures 5" x 7".

A Companion of Diana

This is from the blog "Different Strokes from Different Folks", check it out at http://differentstrokesfromdifferentfolks.blogspot.com/. They have a bi-weekly challenge of a photo that you redo in your own style, as you can see I like to use a lot of color. This challenge was of a marble sculpture of one of the goddess Diana's companions, a nymph and her hound. The marble sculpture was done by Jean-Louis Lemoyne, titled 'A Companion of Diana', commissioned by Louis XIV in 1724. Diana was goddess of the moon and of the hunt, this nymph is one of Diana's companions, with her hound. This sculpture belongs to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.
