Little matchbox painings with marshmallows and camping s’mores characters. Thanks for looking.

Dismal. Another one of my favorite words. And incidentally, I am so good at drawing dogs. Dismally good. https://www.instagram.com/p/CrlUREQudDf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The Rotten Carrot pub, on the corner of St Sithney’s Road and Dregs Lane, is known for a lot of things; a good pint is not one of them.

My favorite watercolor piece I've done so far. I plan to be posting more regularly again, but I'm still super busy so we'll see.

For my daughter Carla Here is the finished project.... hope you like it. It's the very first horse I've drawn.

Swimmingly is such a good word! I personally swim like a brick, so usually try not to describe things in my life as such. Inspired by a photograph by a photograph by Michael Carlebach. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqk3W01uzUv/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Rescued this book from the trash, showed it to a kid who used to have a guinea pig. He said, in a horrified voice "What a nightmare!" And so this phrase is saved for posterity. #bookassketchbooks #watercolor # guineaPigs https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsXEyeuKpY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Drawing trees and other landscape elements was my daily routine for the last two months. For two months, I've been developing my style. It's essential to create consistently in one style for a long time. It's the way you get to know better: - yourself, - what you like, - what you enjoy.

It's my third illustration with a lantern theme. I had doubts while drawing this illustration. I changed the concept a few times. And I'm not sure if I got the expected effect. But I'm not afraid to share it and say: "this illustration could be better." It gives me the motivation to work harder. It gives me reasons to push myself forward. Have a creative weekend!

Inspired by an old train track switch signal

This time I managed to get the result I had planned. I made a second attempt at drawing a magic tree. There is much more detail in this illustration. I'm satisfied. It was a great opportunity to develop my drawing skills.

An illustration I created of a Northern cardinal. :)
