Painting Frogs Again - I just can't help myself!

I have been Painting frogs again. These are ATCs. They are so pretty though that I don't know if I can part with them. I may keep a few and frame them together for myself. The 3 landscape ones. EDM challenge - draw an animal. I don't know if this qualifies but I think it should be ok. Posted by Picasa

Awesome! I love all your frogs. I used to collect frogs as a kid and my sister still sends me one every year for christmas. There is something so wonderful and appealing about them. You've done a beautiful job with their eyes and their inquisitive expressions in these ATCs.

Shelly, these are totally wonderful--not just the frogs, but the water and trees, too. Your detail, especially in this size, is amazing!

I don't blame you for not wanting to part with them. They are so cute. I love their expressions. I have not done ATC's yet. Is it hard painting/drawing in such a small format?

ADORABLE frogs -- so much fun!!!

Don't give them away - they're so lovely and I also love the earlier one. One of the things that made me choose graphic design and illustration over fine art was the thought that I could keep all my originals.

I'm a frog lover so your frogs are amazing, I've seen some similar poses on t shirts and such. Still trying to draw those though.

Hi Shelly,
I love your frogs, they're so cute! Your colors are vibrant and they just pop off the page! I think you're doing a great job with the computer drawing, too. I know how difficult and time consuming that is. Keep up the good work!
