Water Nymph

A new watercolor in my female series. Above you can see the painting process. I usually paint in 3-4 layers, with the linework being last. Watercolor on illustration board. Prints of this piece are available in my Etsy store.

Art Nouveau Women

These are two new watercolor paintings with an Art Nouveau theme. I really love Alfonse Mucha's work and always wanted to paint some flower haired ladies of my own. These two are available as prints at my Etsy store.

Orchid Flower

It turned out kind of psychedelic. I had a crappy painting that I started for this card, but turned it into the background... If you look carefully you can see a man's profile and ribbon-like brain matter... haha. Now onto the next card... 6 more to go!!!

The Poet

I've had this idea floating around in my head for a long time and so I finally got around to painting it.

In My Hands

©Sam Nagel

here's another card... I stole my own mandala drawing from a different card and reworked it here. I guess because it took me so long to make the mandala the first time, I figured I should use it more than once... recycle! I love how the two hands are transparent and either one could appear above or below the other, or both.

Baby Blossom

I'm getting quicker at these... I love the simplicity of this one and decided to leave it. Anyway, it's a baby on a flower, enough said.
