Drew my silly cat. Her name is Kismet and she is very very hard to photograph. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPvRHSyB-OQ/?utm_medium=copy_link

This rabbit likes to rock out! 10 x 10 watercolor + marker & pastel. I had fun adding texture in this one.

Commission #1 is complete. 5x7, watercolor and pen. To whoever will receive this as a gift, happy birthday!

A little exercise in my sketchbook to create a non-narrative comic. Just graphite, digitally colored.

Many beginnings. Beginning 6. The best ice cream in the world is made from the clouds you gather at dusk on the beach. Everyone knows that. * Starting is easy, it's the middle that is often a muddle. And I won't even mention the endings. Here are some beginnings for children stories that flitter through my head. https://www.instagram.com/p/COxp0KSh4KR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The cat on the left goes by Claude, whereas the name of the one on the right is still unknown.

A little sketch 3 by 5” of a robin and coloured in with water colour paints.

A little sketch, 3” by 5”, made better with a bit of cheap watercolour paint. I don’t know why, but I like this little scene. It isn’t a terribly brilliant sketch and I didnt paint it with great care, but still, i like it. And in the end, it really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. If you finish a little piece of art snd can say you like it even weeks and months later, then it is a winner for you.

Colored Pencil

A bit of a departure from my usual style. I wanted to try something a bit messy, fast, and loose. The scene is an ancient woodland in Pembrokeshire called Tŷ Canol, an atmospheric place and full of inspiration for artworks. Pen and watercolour in Seawhite sketchbook.

Model: Meadhbh (Maeve). Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 9” x 12” paper

Micron pen and sumi ink. I used the watercolor technique with salt but subbed in the sumi ink instead of watercolor.

Watercolour painting of Ponyo

Gourd-face started out as a tiny doodle in my sketchbook but I couldn't stop thinking about him. So I drew several gourd-faces. This one has the unfortunate circumstance of growing on his face. Poor Gourdy. I drew him with pencil and then colored on the computer. Cheers!

Watercolor Bison

This was drawn in Spiralty (a free Windows program) and colored in Photoshop. Great fun and very relaxing. I am definitely going to be making more mandalas during the rest of the pandemic.

“It’s a slow-burn, post-war portrait of a closed, traditionalist society slowly collapsing in on itself!” - me

While Peter napped, all tucked up in the petals of a flower, he dreamed of tigers...

Martin Luther King Jr. Day inspires me, to be ‘the best me’.

Watercolor of Joshua Tree

The Color flow of Lightness and Darkness. From Bright Yellow to Midnight Blue. Take a ride into the Dark forest and spot the light. Admiring the beauty in deep forest.

Chromatography is used in chemistry to dissolve a mixture and place it into a "mobile phase," which allows the solvent to carry it and its components up the paper. It shows the layers, exposing deeper, hidden tones and colors, something only seen when a solvent of the same polarity is used. It's odd. Life feels a bit like that, and I'm seeing the colors separate for the first time. It's all there, everything that's been hidden in the inky mess for the past however many years. And now it's smeared. Bold. Clear. But blurry. What's on me and what's on you? Where do we go from here?
