A watercolour I did probably about 10 years ago? An ACEO (Art Cards, Editions and Originals - always 2.5x3.5") collectible artwork.

A little girl who's kind mother allowed me to photo her at the Port Adelaide Fisherman's Wharf Market around 2002. To me she made the perfect mermaid, I included a leafy seadragon in my painting. She had such an appealing impish look on her face.



I think sometimes, you need to revisit what you do, to see where you are with your art, and, perhaps, where you're going.

I do think that I will be returning to doing watercolours in future. Such a wonderful painting medium.

Buy my art direct from me though online gallery BLUETHUMB (Jillian Crider)

 

I am offering my art for sale on the BlueThumb website  so that it is easy to purchase in a professional manner.

I can show my work in a gallery environment - buy with confidence, and with even some 'easy buy' options.  All work has a COA (certificate of authenticity). My work is sent from me personally, but BlueThumb handles all the details.

I currently have 24 artworks on this site, and even though it is a site for Australian artists, their sales Internationally are expanding rapidly.

They have help for collectors, and other advice.

I hope you will visit my profile, as you'll see a range of images to each artwork, the story behind my art and other pertinent details. Please - 'like' (heart) my artworks, follow me, and,  perhaps, buy any that you would like to have. It would be much appreciated.
 

While on BlueThumb, you might like to check out the works of other artists, too. There is some more great art to be seen there.

Desert Sky Tours - new website launched!

Well, up until the early hours. Also introduced a 'friend' to the world of bloggers! I had to design a website. Promised since January. I never seemed to get with Howard on this, and managed to do it from what he provided via emails. Being frames, my FrontPage web editor didn't want to work, and I didn't have time to work it out, so ended up hand-writing it in html! Not heaps of content so it wasn't too cumbersome, but was about 3.30am before I hit my bed!

Wanna take a peek? It's http://www.DesertSkyTours.com - hope you like it. It's about touring the wide, wild broad expanse of our outback in my home state of South Australia in unique 6 wheel all terrain drive vehicles that carry a groups of people.

Hope you like it.
