Cheryl's Muse - CALz Ayr WKz and Body Ice

My name is Cheryl LeFever and I've been into art ever since I could hold a crayon. Over the years, I worked in many different forms of media. Jewelry designs and airbrush art have become my passion. I love to work with wire designs and my daughter, Denielle, loves the bead work. We make a perfect team in this regard. My airbrush works vary from very small to hoods and vehicles. I'm always up for a challenge and hope you will enjoy our Ayr Wkz and Art Wkz!

Homeless (The start of a portrait)

I started this painting and then got sidetracked with other projects.

It sits in my new art studio waiting for me to finish it.

Its painted on Illustration Board with Etac paint and my Iwata Microns.

The beginning layout or mapping of the features of the subject and the rest will all be freehand painted.

Let Me Out!!

This painting captures the birth of the flying eyeball.

Done on gesso'd canvas. 5" x 7"

I like to practice small because then the big stuff seems real easy.

Wanna Play?

This painting was done on gesso'd canvas board. Airbrushed with my Iwata brushes.

Butterfly Garden

Hey, its me again, trying to catch up. This painting was a gift for my mother. She wanted a new painting for her living room and specifically requested a butterfly scene.

This was done on gesso'd canvass and was 3' wide by 2' high.

Melusine (The Mermaid of Luxembourg)

Boy, I have a bit of catching up to do. Since my last post, I've finished quite a few pieces so I will start with this posting. There is a nice folk tale about Melusine. Google it.

Melusine was painted for a paint pal with the Orange forum and was completed in October, 2015.

I had a bit of trouble with the illustration board I was using and wasn't too happy with the results of this piece.
