Painting done as a little memorial for someone close to me who lost their dog unexpectedly.

*Soon to be stickers!*
All based on real species with a fantasy twist, can you guess who?
the 4 on flowers are native species to #VancouverIsland , as are the mushrooms.
Included a WIP of a couple to show my digital painting process. :)

My favorite way to keep my watercolor brushes. I love collecting pretty stones, when I put them in the bottom of the jar it's much harder to tip over when I am flailing around painting. Also it charges my brushes up with magic hippy crystal energy I am pretty sure.

"The Brightness" - been reading the southern reach series recently, this is vaguely inspired by it.

More practice #ballpointpendrawing today, post a picture of your pet in the comments, if they inspire me I'll sketch them (no promises, inspiration is a fickle thing) :) 💖

When the muse is dead but you want to draw; pull up some references and practice, practice. All done in ballpoint pen from the start so no takebacksies, no eraser, just practice.

One of my resin pendants of a unicorn, with another unicorn pendant in the background.

A digital painting I made for my mom of her chicken coops a number of years ago. May she RIP 🖤

Older digital painting I did based on a photo I took of some cherry blossoms. I swear there really was a butterfly dragon there ;)

A mini raven man painting I made, this was only about 6"x4". It's sold now. ♥️ I love doing these mini paintings :)

Cute wood ornaments I made last Christmas for my sisters. I don't have a good photo of these so I took a screenshot of a video and cleaned it up in Photoshop, that's why the pic looks a bit weird.
I cut the wood, varnished, painted and then sealed in resin :)

Digital painting I did a few years back after a magical hike through a high alpine forest. I love #bunchberry

"interconnected" inspired by watching Rufus hummingbirds madly feeding on Salmon Berry blossoms in the spring, I wonder how many thousands of years these two organisms have held this symbiotic relationship.

Watercolour/gouache painting of a moss unicorn. They can lay down in the moss to become just a little knoll in the forest, that is why we never spot them ;)

As well as drawing/painting I also love photography. Here are some of my favorite shots from this winter. As with my other art I am inspired by the natural world and that is most of my subjects.

Some practice in my sketchbook, first drawing horse anatomy from references and then playing with some watercolour paint. You can see by the wrinkles in the paper this was not watercolor paper 😅

A number of ballpoint pen horse sketches colored with bright watercolors.
