hi

We will take for granted that this is Hallow's eve, which is forever connected with black cats, afull moon, dead tress and pumpkins

Teaching painting is a great task to ask of a person who doesn't paint. I do not paint. I teach the manipulation of media through experience. "Learn from doing!" I say. Monochromatic pastel exercises help my students to get a handle on the media. We explore value and composition and the handling of media. Sometimes happy accidents occur. This was my example to the teens on composition and value. It is a journey.

Another one for my friend. Not only does she own a pizza shop. She is also a huge Grateful Dead fan. I couldn't help but have her dancing with one of the bears

I just finished this for a friend. He is in construction and it seems like we're always talking philosophy and where we fit in the universe whenever we're working on a project together.

I think that sometimes 'waiting' is the hardest thing to do. If you have a place to hang your coat and you have a rich inner life, you will be fine waiting. I was waiting to be seen by my doctor. A general check-up. The prognosis is that I am getting older and I need to lose weight. OK then. Thank you.

One in a series of works using line that will be used as a background.

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.

Qui-Gonisms galore!

More Kirby! Because when the pen is just as mighty as his sword, you know what needs to be done :-)

Shark time again!

Malacophily is pollination by slugs and snails. This is my Nye Beach banner for 2024. They hang for the summer and then get auctioned off with proceeds going toward children’s art programs.

Spooky shark time :-)

Fire lizards… Pokemon style!

This was my sister's first mother's day and I wanted to surprise her with something special. She loves Peter Pan so it seemed like a perfect fit.

*narwhal overload*

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.

Hello again Kirby!

The cow really likes him

Valentine’s Day treats being put to good use :-)

Dragonite wishing you all a happy Chinese new year when it comes! :-)

The inevitable Eevee fan art! As you can see, they’re inspiring company :-)

I didn't know numbats are a thing! Came across this amazing little endangered marsupial when I was trying to decide which N animal to paint. They eat only termites (hence the recipes ;)). Part of a series where I'm painting animals in different styles. Today's was inspired by the art of Beatrix Potter. Digital watercolor, pointed pen, and colored pencil.

More Nintendo fever dreams here in tonight’s artwork :-)

Pen & ink on Bristol

As you can tell from the title, I didn’t originally intend to have another ray as the main character here but alas… happy accidents, right? Plus I feel it works for no reason other than it just does, so I don’t care too much really ☠️

My favorite local tea shop bought a design of mine for their employee's shirts!

Sketched while watching the Mariners get knocked out of playoff contention. Colored on the computer. I did a hue changing little animation with it if you check my Instagram. :)
