Self-portrait! I thought it was time I tried painting a self-portrait, I've made a couple attempts in the past but I thought it was time for another since I've been working a bit more on like-ness in my work.

A recent painting I made of a peregrine falcon. I love how well the contrasting blues and burnt orange work together!

Thirty day challenge complete! I sketch'd a portrait every day for 30 days!! While it was hard to do it everyday day it was surprisingly rewarding! Exploring different ideas has helped me a lot. Also since January technically had 31 days I'm including a watercolor sketch 😜

A recent watercolor portrait of the wonderful Nicholas at @atwoodatelier I keep pushing myself to incorporate more expressive marks and color and I like the direction this painting went. The opportunity to include the ferns around the model also helped!

I decided on a new year goal this year to do a daily portrait sketch for a month. After the my first 15 sketches I am still really enjoying it. It's something I look forward to each day and I might try to make it a part of my daily routine.

My brothers are really into Magic cards so for holiday gifts I painted a couple master studies of them. Oils are still very new for me but it was fun to work through the process of painting a couple of stunning artworks

Another sketchbook painting, the paper and water brush I'm using really force the idea of painting gestural layered strokes and I like how it influences the artistic style.

Over the holiday my partner made me a leather book cover so I stitched some watercolor paper together and made a watercolor sketchbook. The paper isn't the greatest but it's still really nice compared to many I've used and it's forced me to paint a little differently.

I decided I wanted to try something different over the holiday so painted a few oil pieces as gifts. I'm still really new to the medium but it was fun to work with something different.

Sandhill Cranes have recently gotten into my head so it seemed like a good time to do a couple of sketches and a painting.

This year I decided to use craft paper and make sketches on my gifts. I've never loved gift wrapping or gift wrap paper so this made the process a lot more fun and personal!

My website is live!! I have a few prints available and I'll be adding more soon! This took a bit of work to put together building it from scratch so I'm happy it's live 😁

Negative shapes have been tricky for me lately so I decided to lean into it and paint a ghost crow.

I occasionally feed the crows in my neighborhood, especially when it's a bit colder or wet outside. A few weeks ago during a rainstorm I saw they were looking for food and were disheveled and wet. I gave them a bit extra.

Im so happy I made it to the @atwoodatelier for one of the costume nights and I got to paint Katie (@katielearnstuffandthings) dressed up as a creepy doll. I really enjoyed trying to capture the creepy and expressive lighting and costume!

Cardinals are so striking, their bright red color contrasting strongly against green leaves. It’s no wonder they were my grandmother's favorite bird, and I think of her every time I see one.

My first introduction to Fairies was the Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book. Which was probably not the best way to be introduced to Fairies...
