Miss Tansybaum's CarnivalBy all accounts, Miss Tansybaum's Circus of the Moderately Peculiar should not have continued to operate. They were a very small operation as circuses went, they had no rides and their menagerie consisted of a single geriatric lion and a handful of obscure species, such as the Sudanese Crooning Lizards, who were obscure for a reason.

Asian Dragonby `ursulav

Traditional Art / Mixed Media / Fantasy

Way back when, I did a set of Chinese zodiac tiles for a company that promptly stopped returning my e-mails when I said things like "I'm really going to need that contract before I send you the full-size files." The dragon was one of my favorites, and I had never finished it. So a couple of months ago, I got the bright idea to use the unfinished painting as the base for a mixed-media piece. This is mostly colored pencil over top of that underpainting, 6 x 6 on deep cradled board, ready to hang as-is.

Since I had to print it on a sturdier paper, everything came out much darker and more uniformly colored than the painting, which dismayed me at first, but when I saw how well the colored pencil worked on top of the dark paper---do it right, and it practically glows---I was ultimately pretty pleased.

I love the brilliant colors you used. And what you said, "it practically glows" is to a T! Gorgeous.
