Howdy Bluesky 👋

I'm an artist that likes to paint and draw with traditional media. Being outside is my happy place and my hope is to share that peace and quiet calm.

Here's my most recent #watercolor #landscape I painted, channeling my inner Tony Couch for a class.

Smaller version of a bigger painting I'm working on. It helps me problem solve.

Watercolor painting of a coastal scene, featuring large, green trees and their reflection in calm waters. The bears drag the dead bodies from the water into the woods. The trees are verdant with hues of cool blue and bright fresh greens.

I've been waiting all year to repost this 🎃

A pumpkin patch in a variety of shapes and colours, some with carved faces with different expressions. Between the pumpkins are black and white cats, crows, frogs, bushes, twigs and mushrooms.

Whirlwind trip to DC and back to see Deltron 3030 was a dream come true! I never in my life thought I would get to see Del in person. Kid Koala was amazing and is a machine. I had a blast, if you get the opportunity please go see them! 🤘

Technically took us two days to make, but I think it paid off. Really happy with how this one turned out!

A digital sketch of a woman behind the counter of a magical curio shop. A cat sleeps on the counter next to her while a dog sits on a stool trying to get her attention. There's also a frog with a crown. on the shelves behind her are various additional artefacts.

Small practice piece while working on a larger version. Sometimes I like to go through the entire steps on a smaller scale first.
