I could play with the recolor artwork tool all day long!

Working on this save the date makes me super happy.

I think I'm getting the hang of painting florals with gouache. It helped to decide on a palette and pre-mix the colors.

I'm playing around with a new color palette on this one. I may try a few now that I know about the recolor tool in illustrator!

I'm making an effort to finish what I start in my sketchbook.

Banksia grandis is a banksia that is of medium height with large candles. The eyes contain seeds that come out with fire.

There are only a few lovely large pine trees near my home in the Southwest of Western Australia. This little sprig was found on a walk where there was only the one pine tree in amongst the other trees.

I generally make marks on something every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one single journal at a time. I also have super ADHD, which means I pretty much never go up to my actual studio and usually only use what's out on my desk, because out-of-sight-out-of-mind.
