Dreaming of travel to strange places.

#illustration #KidLitArt #adventure #fantasy
Watercolor illustration. A gigantic tree with twisted roots wrapping around stones and fossils. At it's base there is a set of stone steps leading into an opening in the tree. At the lowest step a fox sits next to a dock where a girl is pulling a boat in with a rope. Several red birds flock in the branches and a shadowy cat stalks towards them on a raised root.

Apparently one of the local library systems is being forced by the snotbuckets in TN govt to shut down, inventory books, and remove or recategorize "offensive" material.

I am TRYING to channel my anger into productive pathways.

Watercolor illustration of an angry blue dragon sitting on a stack of three books in a classic attitude - loaf position. Bottom book is an amber shade, middle is charcoal grey leaning to black, and top book has a rainbow spine. Her tail appears to be twitching, much like a cat who is contemplating mayhem.

If you've been thinking about getting a pet portrait, I have some time coming up next week set aside just for painting. This is a great time to message me for a commission!

Illustration of a night scene in greyscale of a row of standing stones. At the far end of them stands a female figure holding some sort of light and looking back at the viewer. Her dress trails back along the path in creepy coils with a slightly glowing appearance.

I can't decide if I want to add a creature or two to this one. I'm rather pleased with the quiet magical feel, but I do like magical creatures too.
