A experimental combination of abstract, geometric lines with organic shapes of gum leaves. Pen, watercolour and masking fluid.

A quick sketch of the Lilly Pilly tree in the garden. It has edible purple fruits that are just ripening. Looking forward to making them into jam.

A rainy day looking out the studio. It seemed appropriate to use water colour and pen.

I found out recently that a good friend of mine's dog passed away. I didn't know how to react so I drew this for her. Ellie was a great dog who loved people and adventures. She's not gone. She's just on a new adventure, making new friends.

I got a little emotional when I heard the Lahaina banyan tree would make it through the Maui fire. I found a reference and painted a watercolor of the new growth. I come from a Navy family and was born in Hawaii. Let me know if I got the transparency and shading right or if it is aesthetically pleasing.

Sketching freehand in ink. Ink + alcohol markers.

Experimenting with digital watercolor brushes.

I want the composition to be thoughtful but on the sad side. My skill practice was brush strokes and blending (but not overdoing the blending) as I try to figure out how I stylize as an artist. Still working in the realm of realism and proportions as I am a newbie, but wanna flex into stylization a bit more. I did this through Rebelle 5, which is absolutely amazing, IMO.
