Valeria's Faves

caricature of Ron Swanson using Procreate

...To step into your shoes and walk out the door, leaving the comfort of your cocoon. Into the world again, after long to interact with people face to face. To realise you can’t, turn around and run away. I think, I have become insane with long intervals of horrible sanity.

Whenever I think of tags and/or labels for people, be it things like ‘gammons’ or ‘snowflakes’ et al, narrowing it down to a single person who represents that group is always running a fool’s errand in my opinion.

oh yeah.... When I'm on that Tolkien stuff....

My imagination in purple

Spring is here, frog on a mushroom

Whimsical. Mixed media. Mixed media collage. Portrait drawn separately and then cut out and glued on top of collage.

This landscape is a finished work, and is designed to relax those who are weighed down by work.It is of an Irish Berry Field. I did it mostly from imagination, but I did use some photo reference to get the background right.

Scratchboard skull study

I did this mostly from the imagination.The perspective is a bit off,but I still like it. Its of a peat bog in Ireland. A peat bog is similare to a marsh except the mud or soil solidifys, and then it can be cut for fuel.
