Gallery of My Older Work

Here is a sample of my artwork from the past.  (All the pictures I could find I had saved digitally, anyway.)
You may notice that some of the work has my maiden name, Wendy Calloway, and other's have Wendy Holcombe.  I promise, they are both me!


Hope you enjoy.

and the dots near the center it the eye....does that help?

The Following Painting were created for friends' nurseries.
The 3 Classic Pooh Paintings are a Triptych and are hung together.  (On each piece there is a note on back stating that this is not my original characters, I am paying homage to E.H. Shepard's drawings of A.A. Milne's Characters)
Tigger goes on the left.

Pooh and Piglet are in the center, and on a larger canvas.

Eeyore is on the right.

My friend had a mural on her own nursery wall of Pooh with a Red Balloon.
When we found out she was having a boy,
 I decided to paint her a small painting just like her mural, but Pooh has a blue balloon.
(surrounded by bees, just like in the book.)

This drawing and the one beneath were sketches I drew while deciding what I was going to paint for the nursery.
The mother collects Pooh memorabilia, and the father collects Piglet, so this was very special for them.




This little monkey was created for another friend's nursery.
She just needed a little piece, and this little monkey had such personality he brought the wall to life.

The next couple of paintings were created early in 2010 for an auction to raise money for the art department of a local school.
They were the first pieces I created that showed a small slice of how a vertigo attack feels. 
 (I'm sorry the photos are not as clear as the originals.  Luckily, both of these pieces were the first to sell, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get better photos.)

I designed the stained glass windows for these doors
