This is one of my latest Solar Intaglio Prints of my FAVORITE FROG! The drawing was etched onto a polymer plate by exposure to the sun. The plate was inked by me in the traditional method of intaglio printmaking and hand pulled on an etching press. After the print was pulled I hand tinted it with watercolors. This is a one of a kind mono print. The price includes free shipping in the continental USA and comes unframed

Illustrative Art, Colored Pencil “BURROWING OWL STRETCH” The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe

The Burrowing Owl is a very small ground dwelling owl. I was really surprised when I saw them. I thought they would be bigger but they only stand about 6-8 inches tall. They live in small burrows int he ground much like prairie dogs. They scurry around the ground and if a predator gets close they rapidly run down into the hole. This little guy was a delight to watch. I went with a friend to a place in Cape Coral which is known for protecting these endangered owls. He came out of the burrow and started to stretch his wings. I had such a great time that day and hope to do more paintings of these delightful little owls! This listing is for an original watercolor. It is on Fabriano 140 lb watercolor paper.

Illustrative Wildlife Fine Art ,Watercolor Painting, Colored Pencil,Tropical Bird “Toucan in Papaya Tree” The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe






This original painting of a Toucan in a Papaya Tree is a painting I demonstrated in my  book, The Art of Botanical and Bird Illustration .
I used colored pencil and watercolor pencil to do this painting on Fabriano Artistico Hot Press 300 lb watercolor paper. For the painting I used my sketches and photographs of a Rainbow Keeled Toucan and purchased a papaya tree that I planted and grew in my yard. Lucky for me I live in Florida and a local nursery had a good sized papaya tree I could do live drawings from. This is one of my favorite paintings and I throughly enjoyed every minute of composing it and painting.
