Watercolour painting with a theme Christmas.

We hide in the murky water, afraid of our face, when it’s just as valid.

Ink on paper. A sketch on a angry cat :p

Seals and clocks = an intriguing combo I’d say.

Christmas cat looking for bright light.

It is a sketch on a sleeping cat.

Charcoal on wood

I completed a variety of cats for Catober 2020. From those I created this pattern. My favorite cat is Zoro.

A cute deer and his extras.

An updated picture. I wasn't happy with the earlier version. :-)

How about something to chase that pesky Arctic Fox of mine?... A wolf.

just practice

Another cat that isn't quite a cat. This one has evolved over billions of years to be able to live underwater, just to be able to hunt their favorite fish better, and more often.

A request by a friend to doodle their Dog. Not sure of the breed. Hope it turned out okay :-)

This rare fish often adopts elaborate though usually ineffective disguises to spy on other fishes and for his own amusement.

Thought I'd take a break from humans. I'm great at drawing them, and I love creating characters, but... why not?

This little book had several tiny squares/rectangles per page. At first I didn't know how to fill it (2017). Eventually I sketched trees, scenes, birds, animals I'd seen during a days walk. It accidentally became a diary of seasons! Not all my art is nature sketching, I'm a watercolor artist as well. But line and pen drawing, halftone is what I've been up to for a while.

Its.. a Duckling.

Doodled for my club newsletter

I am trying to learn how to draw from my imagination and without reference, so I started a series of fish illustrations to practice this.

Spent a little time over the Thanksgiving holiday trying out Dr.Ph. Martin's colored inks! I had a little trouble mixing the yellows but for the most part they were a joy to work with. Reference from Unsplash.

A Rottweiler. My favourite breed, and many good companions through my childhood.

Learning to Leap is a shout out to anyone who needs a little courage to make that final leap. We've all been there, and we can all use a little whimsical inspiration in our lives.
