Frog, moon and stars! Another one inspired by @moonchildillustrations and her #moontoberweekends prompt, this one combines two of them. Fortunately, I had to search for really cute pictures of frogs with their mouths open. By the way, what kind of music do you think the flies are dancing to? : .

It was absolutely necessary that I sit still and paint today and here are the unfinished results so far.

One of these little guys flew up to my window last week.

An ink and pencil drawing of a tiger.

The big bad wolf... hear me roar!

Strange creatures of their respective planets meet on a new fruitful planet to create a peaceful community.

I don't just draw animal portraits! Although it seems tat way at the moment! I did one and it kind of snowballed!!! This one is part of a series of illustrations that tell the story of Hansel & Gretel.

I think lionfish are very pretty , too bad they are a damaging invasive species in so many areas .

A bit of fun with little wood circles. I left the "pupils" detached so you can move em around. Little animated .gif here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBIkDEvgVfy/

Inktober Day 4 sketch. No prompts. No, you didn't miss Day 3. There was a lot of bleed-through that messed up the sketch. It happens.

No prompts for me this year. I'm just drawing 31 animal portraits in ballpoint pen.

Rat Sketch Study

I’ve been going through a bit of an art slump lately, but I finally got myself to pick up the pencil and finish this. My reference photo was a bit grainy so had some trouble with that, but overall I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. Done in graphite, drawing itself is about 5x6 in

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! This year I got around to making various cards and simply sending them out to various family members and friends. (It was also an excuse for me to use as many puns as I wanted.)

An illustration for a children book.

My favorite season is the fall.

Graphite pencil drawing of a Robin

A resident of Gatti di Roma cat Sanctuary in Rome. This piece will be auctioned and the proceeds will go to the charity.

Saw this brown bunny this evening while walking my dog, and doodled it.

This, not very ferocious fellow, was my social distancing Easter weekend project that I finished yesterday. A colored pencil drawing on Strathmore 400 colored pencil pad with several different wax and oil colored pencils.

That was my first animal painting, chose ocelot, because the are so beautiful and unusual. It is done with oilcolors on canvas.
