Learning to listen to the old brag of my heart and create imperfect art. Here you will find some kind of mixture of art, poems, and nature.

A very Charlie Brown inspired Christmas Tree. He just gets it. Bennie gets it too. All of my art has to get the Bennie seal of approval.

I tried drawing from the same reference over and over to test out my different pencils (I’ve collected too many 😅) This has easily and accidentally become my favorite sketchbook page ever

Today’s painting: Still life of a bouquet I found discarded on the ground. Now it is happy sitting in a vase in my home #gouache #stilllife #painting #dailyart #goauchepainting

I skipped the last day of Inktober after 30 days of consistency (no “award” for me) thanks to an emergency appendectomy. But today I spent several hours dedicated to art so it all works out

From a picture I took this summer. Plus added the ghost because it felt right.

Inktober Day 26: Puzzling

I used a photo I took of some leaves I collected today. Then stenciled in the puzzle outlines. Also added a bit of texture with watercolor and charcoal brushes to make it a bit more interesting.

Inktober Day 25: Inferno

Oh this one makes me laugh.. I knew I wanted to call on one of my favorite masters William Blake. If anyone knows how to illustrate inferno it’s him.

I also ended up doing this cute old lady with a sweater. I don’t know who she is but I am obsessed with her

Almost missed it!! I recently read a biography on Leonardo Da Vinci and was surprised to learn that Michelangelo was regarded as a rival in a lot of ways.
