Old Victorian photographs\portraits have always held a special place in my heart. Coincidentally, and fortunately, animal\human hybrids have always been a staple as well.

I have started a series of 5"x7" paintings influenced by Victorian portraiture and literature as well as a child like curiosity.

I layer water soluble oil pastels and acrylic paint, which I have found makes for a neat texture. I found the frame at Hobby Lobby, which is probably the worst place to look for art supplies but has pretty decent and inexpensive frames. I hope to find some antique frames soon, as I have become quite excited about antiquing lately...

I will post these as I continue to make them.
