nature

Nature is where you become a true you, it's a place to disconnect from the world and to feel so connected to it at the same time.

45/100 of my nature illo themed 100 Day Project. I started my challenge drawing only on my iPad but hit some bumps when I forgot my Apple Pencil in Florida (I live in California). With that, I have been getting reacquainted with my sketchbook which has been set aside for a few months until now. Feels good to get back into it. Everytime I come back to painting, I wonder why I ever paused in the first place.

Nothing matters when you are asleep!

Trying on this illustrative style with bold contrasting colors. Unfinished, but I like it, so I decided to share.

This was my submission to the recent Mother Nature doodle challenge held here. Mixed media using traditional watercolor and digital line art/embellishments. It is now available on Society6 as a print, stationery, and a variety of phone cases.

The local park/working farm has some amazing old trees - nature is a work of art :)
