hi

"Unthought-of Frailties cheat us in the Wise." ~ Alexander Pope, Moral Essays (1731-35), Epistle To Temple, line 69. I really had to ponder this quote and figure out how to illustrate it. A spider came to mind...so tiny and fragile in comparison yet invokes so much fear. Then considered a daddy long leg.

Old work finally finished. Done with graphitepencils.

Frail. I took the prompt as a witch looking after some frail looking flowers, using her magic to make them stronger and healthy.

This is an acrylic painting.

White raven created with graphite pencils, HB pencil, Winsor and Newton black ink, acrylic paint, white gel pen and Crayola crayons.

This is my attempt to draw my cat. It looks nothing like her but at least it looks like a cat.

Inspired by one of my cats who is black with bits of tortoiseshell coming through. I used black ink and apricot Crayola crayon for this.

#Mindless prompt for Inktober. I'm late with uploading here, so if you'd like to see my illustrations for the previous days and and early look at today's prompt #build check out my instagram.

Woops forgot to upload it yesterday, so now, everything will be offset. The Hair Rope character are it again, this time, Anka and a mysterious and terrifying dark shape in the wood.

Back in May, I wanted to do the #mermaychallenge, an online event where artists draw and share their mermaid illustrations during the entire month of May. But I knew I had limited time, with everything happening that month (buying new home/moving/fixing up the old home to sell), and a fulltime job. I created Mer-Kat, a hybrid kitten/mermaid. I felt this was such a fun new character to explore. Life underwater with a feline-based personality.

I did this large canvas with oils.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love. - Marc Chagall

This is a pencil, and coloured pencil drawing.

More artwork of my character, Honey! I improved her design and honestly I'm in love with her. :>
