A little paint here, a little ink there...

I have a pile of papers that have "art" on them, but not art that is good enough to stand alone. It just needs help. Like this pear...
 

The shape wasn't bad. It was the colors that just weren't right. I had nothing to lose, so I started painting out the background with white... and then blue, several different blues. It was getting better. I added a little stamping...


and then I went with some of the little tricks that add depth and interest to blah. The piece was getting better.
 

I used my white pen to line a few details. Love that pen.


And finally, it made me happy enough to use it for some guerrilla art.


 Yep... it's pretty good. I like it.
