As I was looking through my pen and ink drawings from 25 years ago, a little light bulb went off in my head. I’ve been working on my Color Fusion series for weeks now and combining those black and whites with my acrylic painting on fabric seemed to be a marriage made in heaven. I love color, so here I go!
First I took my ink drawing and scanned it on my Brother scanner.
Then I fused my new acrylic painting on fabric onto the design using my computer. I added some background texture from a crinkled piece of paper that I scanned.
Enjoy!

“Colorful Seahorse”
Mixed Media Art

I know today is all about 911 and that most people will be talking about that horrific event in American History. It is burned into my memory mainly because I had a little girl in kindergarten at the time and I can recall vividly rushing to her school with all of the other panicked moms. Hugging my Muslim friends who had removed their Hijabs out of fear of attack. It was indeed awful. Explaining that to a child was beyond comprehension.
So today I take you back to my kindergarten year and good memories that I hope will make you smile on this day. I grew up the first half of my childhood on Siesta Key, FL. We did not have an ocean view as we were not wealthy, but a very modest home on one of the side streets. Right next door was a fish market that would smoke mullet all day. When bored, I would wander over there and if I smiled cutely, they’d give me a sample of their fish. It was so yummy. But what I remember most is that they had this vertical fish tank in the corner of their store. It was filled with tropical fish and mainly seahorses. I was so intrigued by how they swam with such small fins. I would watch them for hours. One day I noticed one of the very “fat” seahorses was making jerking motions and much to my delight he was having babies!! I squealed with so much joy that all of the customers rushed over to look in the tank with me.
I remember the proprietor asking me if I wanted a little tank of my own with some of their seahorses to care for. I did, but then I thought about it and decided i didn’t. It was much more satisfying to sit and watch the fish over there and besides, I wouldn’t get free seafood goodies at home. 😉

“Little Angels”
Angel Fish Art
Pen and Ink on Illustration Board
Sharon Cummings
1993
I am still digging around through my old portfolio. I found these little angels swimming in the ocean of boards and papers. They looked so crisp and clean until I scanned them and saw the close ups. You can see the irregularities in the amount of ink applied to different areas. There is also an ink “bleed” on the lines. I am sure I was quite pleased back then, but with the perfectionism of the computer age, this would not fly now. 😉
