Whisper

Whisper is a Brahman cow. She is painted entirely in pigments made from bone foraged from our land here in the Ozarks. I ashed and charred the bones in our woodstove, then made watercolor paint from the powders.

This 22 x 30″ painting is on heavy Arches watercolor paper. The colors are all from bone pigments that I foraged and processed myself. Click here to see the process of making this artwork from start to finish.

Here’s a closeup of her head and floppy ears:

 

Prints

All of my prints are processed in house with a professional giclée art printer using archival inks. The paper is archival watercolor paper for high quality prints. 

Notecards

Notecards are 4 x 5.5″ or 5 x 7″, blank inside, and printed on the same professional printer as my prints. Each are packaged in a clear bag with an envelope and the insert that tells the story of how I began my watercolor journey with Ozark pigments. All of my artwork is available on notecards, and you can mix and match to order a set of 5 for a discount. Sets are not individually packaged, but are attractively presented together in a box.
