Trying different materials for doodling. Gel pens and watercolour brush pen Doodled on blank notebook covers.

The start of a new project drawing and painting plants in water colours. These leaves are from a Wattle also called an Acacia in the nearby forest.

This fish swam through a portal and witnessed the meaning of everything.

Channelling my inner Trekkie, as it says on the tin here...

An intuitive mix of fluid watercolor gradients and intricate fineliner patterns, wrapped up in a golden border. A little bit biological, a little bit whimsical.

A bit on the rough side right now, since I'm just getting started (again) on watercolours. I've never painted this loosely before so this is a big step for me. Maybe I'll try a selfie again in a few months to see how I've progressed.

This is a deeply personal expression for a life well lived but no longer with us.

A birthday card I made for my friend in Australia.

I painted the Los Angeles skyline as it radiated through the clouds and haze.

When I didn’t know what to paint while hiking, I closed in on a random spot to appreciate the shadows and tree branches of nature’s real-life camo

While painting this in Santa Monica, I got surrounded by a panel of art experts: https://tiktok.com/t/ZP8jk8RsV/

Somewhere out there are a bunch of butterflies having a conversation about whether they've ever landed on a human, and one of them says "Yeah, it's an acquired taste."

Drawn with brown ink and watercolours.

I've drawn these using Lukas watercolours and an ink brush pen.

I had a brief obsession with painting bees.

Watercolour on A4 watercolour paper. This was so much fun to paint, and it reminds me of holidays at my grandparents' house in Greece when I was a teenager.

Watercolour and the tiniest bit of coloured pencil and acrylic marker on watercolour paper. Size A4. Done with negative painting technique. This was inspired by a figure found in a Kinder egg from my daughter. It seems to be common sense these days to scan and fix your artwork digitally before posting it on any social media. I don't do that. I kind of like the little (or bigger) imperfections in my work, and I also believe that uploading traditional work that has been digitally fixed gives people the idea that such perfect pictures can be achieved in a traditional way.

Remembering a gentler time when an oil change came with a can coozie.

Watercolour of a bee on lavender, made as a wedding card for a friend.

A quick sketch of my outlook.
