and my current WIP/commission.
let me start by saying i always consider any/every commission a blessing but when they are back to back really kind wonderful clients, well that just makes the "blessing" so much sweeter.
a couple of weeks ago the sweetest lady came to me wanting to completely redo her daughter's bedroom based on a few of my
drawings (really?! this is really my life?! hashtag-blessed) and wanted this particular
drawing turned into a painting because it looks smooch like her adorable little girl who happens to be a "budding artist" herself. i wound up selling her some prints and taking on this commission...painting her ginger haired, december born baby girl (ginger...winter...december...three of my favorite things....destiny, indeed).
this is and always has been (and always will be) my philosophy...treat your customers like friends, make personal connections with them and they will come back to you time and time again. always staying true to myself...
"Nicole has been absolutely fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and has really worked with us to accommodate our special requests. The prints we ordered are absolutely beautiful! She shipped them out quickly and were packaged with great care. Nicole is an amazing artist! When you work with her you don't only get a quality product, you get great customer service. We look forward to working with her again!"
thank you, sara...for your kind words, becoming a "friend" and giving me a really good *excuse* to paint a ginger, winter loving little girl.
*LIMITED EDITION PRINTS OF THESE DRAWINGS AVAILABLE
HERE...ONLY THROUGH THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER!!

this truly is a
LIMITED TIME OFFER as i don't normally offer prints of my drawings unless the original is sold. ORIGINALS are still available in my
etsy shop.
either way, it's always nice to do a little holiday shopping....early. ;)

so, today is officially WINTER!!! well, i am ecstatic about that as it is and always will be my favorite season. however, i may have a bone or two to pick with Mr. December. this month has been more like spring than any December i can remember....and that bums me out. hopefully, at some point. Jack Frost will decide to pay me a visit. i miss him.
on a happier note....today is officially the first day of WINTER!!! and this beauty is today's
FEATURED DRAWING! the lovely and pristine, Crystal.
{on a side note, i'm wearing RAIN boots to the post office today instead of SNOW boots. can i just say how wrong that is?! :( }
***last year on this day, i was snapping pics with Jack Frost....my forever love.***

hard to believe we are already 18 days into December....and it's not feeling one teeny tiny little bit like winter here on the east coast (very upset about this). on that note, today's
FEATURED ORIGINAL DRAWING has more of a spring vibe to her (fitting for 65 degrees...in December). beautiful little Blossom is 40% off today.

This was originally posted up on my new illustration site, so I'm linking to it here: Mariana Black Illustration. I'm trying to find some way of being less repetitive with the blogs, and sharing illustrations over both without getting too annoying about it! I may end up putting different ones here and there and just carry on linking to both with different news on each blog ... let's hope that works!
Meanwhile, here are my latest sketches of elephants and pandas, as research for my children's illustrations. Just getting to know the animals a bit better ...
I'll be spending more time this week on my art and college work and posting all of that up here, so please do pop by soon for a peek. Cheers.

know that this little sketch needs NO explanation!
{and for those who don't, well i think it's pretty self explanatory.}
football is BACK....but more importantly than that, PEYTON IS BACK...and that makes for a very happy girl, right here!!!
i have followed this man from his rookie days with the Colts (their loss) to his days with the Broncos (thank you, John Elway for the most wonderful addition your team). classy. humble. respectable. incredibly talented and just an all around awesome guy...and quarterback.
ironically we turned out to to have some unfortunate circumstances in common....like multiple neck surgeries/fusions which if you know anything about the cervical spine, well it certainly affects the use of your arm(s)/hand(s). to still be able to grasp a football and play as eloquently as he does, well that is nothing short of miraculous to me. i feel his pain everyday (literally) as holding a pencil/paintbrush has become somewhat of a challenge on some days...but as peyton says, "these nerves have a mind of their own." they surely do. however, i use that pain to fuel my passion even more. so...take THAT nerve pain! ;)
wishing peyton (and the broncos) a great season and may today be the first day on the journey to the Super Bowl...WIN!
peyton, you are my hero!

©the enchanted easel 2015 |
but better late than never, right? :)
this little beauty goes by the name, Camillia and is the the final drawing in my series of 3 flower/summer girls.
with today being september 1st already (and i'm perfectly ok with that-c'mon football and PEYTON and fall, of course) well, i'm kinda late with this little lady but it's been a busy august and she's been done for quite a while actually....just forgot to post her. so....
better late than never! :)
Camillia (along with her lovely little companions,
Flora and
Blossom) is/are FOR SALE as the ORIGINAL DRAWING(S) in my
etsy shop. i also have a trio of winter girls listed for sale
here...of course being the snow bunny i am, these three are my personal favorites. either way, hop on over to my shop and have a look. if you'd like to purchase the trio of either the summer/winter girls, please send me a convo through etsy and we can work out a happy price for all three beauties.
{did i mention i'm super stoked for FALL, FOOTBALL and PEYTON?! :)}

Flora can be found in shop as well...and then for the winter lover like myself, well there are three pristine ice princesses in my
shop FOR SALE also.

In one of the *many* workshops last month (few of which actually got blogged, I was so slammed in February), we got to learn about painting with graphite and gold leafing in conjunction. This weekend, I'm heading off on my annual spring retreat and hope to work on this some MORE.
Stay tuned.

icelyn~orignal drawing
graphite on bristol
©the enchanted easel 2015 |
sweet, little Icelyn.
this is the third (and final) drawing in my series of three whimsical winter girls. i know, i know....it's almost spring (ugh!) but custom work always comes first and i've had a few of those *jobs*the last couple of weeks (no complaints-love custom work) so little Icleyn here had to take a back seat. but....
she's DONE (yay me!) and FOR SALE
here along with her two lovely companions...little miss
Crystal and my personal favorite, little miss
Glacia (love the happy little twisted pout on her...).
although i shall bid my love, mr. winter, adieu in a few days, it will eternally be winter in my heart...(hey look, someone has to show some love for that season...and well, i have MAJ love for it!)
{up next on the easel (and between other drawings)...custom nursery art...featuring an owl and some sweet little birds.}

love, glacia

ORIGNAL DRAWING FOR SALE IN
MY SHOP!
also, glacia has little friend by the name of crystal who is also FOR SALE
here.
2 sweet little winter girl drawings down...1 more to go. :)
the fact that since flickr isn't posting the images directly as it used to up to a few months ago, make complicated being uploading, here, there, to facebook, and whatever... i'm seriously thinking about stop uploading my stuff. the truth is that in flickr for instance, people usually watches my images about a hundred times on the first couple of days, but only a few favs and almost noone coments. and here in blogger there seems to be more traffic but noone leaves any coments, so I guess i'm just posting for some russian/american bots which visit the site and sometimes leave some spam message i obviously don't publish. here's a screen capture, it's making me think if taking this long to post is really worth...
anyway, hope you enjoy these small drawings, some are from last night, a couple from a few days ago and the pencil one is from last year i think.

of mermaid hair!
custom painting in the works the next week or so. and guess what it is? *hint-i have painted lots of them in the last year...and they have great hair days every day, despite the fact they live in the water...or so the myth goes.* give up? i am painting yet another MERMAID. no complaints though...i LOVE painting hair. and this little beauty in the works? she will have PINK hair. not just any pink, but my signature strawberry pink. and hey, let's face it...don't we all dream of having super awesome, super strawberry pink hair? it's ok, you don't have to answer that...;)
bring on another mermaid! the easel is awaiting!
{a peek at the thumbnail process below. that's how it all begins folks...with a pink ink joy pen. :)}
