Hi #PortfolioDay!
I’m Audrey, a #digitalArtist in CO, US. I mostly draw #SciArt and #FantasyArt, and I’m working on getting back to #TraditionalArt more. I also sell my favs on InPRNT, Redbubble, and Bonfire.

I ♥️ making art friends, welcome follows. ☺️

A Purple-Washed Eyed-Metalmark butterfly painted digitally. Its pointed, scalloped edged chocolate brown wings have large eye markings on the top set, framed by purple lines. The lower wings see those lines reverse to brown with a pale metallic purple background. The entire butterfly is accented in gold leaf on a dark background.

A small preview image of all 29 of my recent butterfly series arranged in a pleasing color order.

A preview image of digital paintings of 30 succulent plants ranging from pink to red and through the rainbow, including neutrals. These succulents are all chosen for their natural, if sun-stressed colors. They are set in neat rows on a black background to showcase the amazing color range.

A pale woman in a royal blue cloak and dusty purple dress steps down a rocky hillside in a towering pine forest. The autumnal brush covers the hillside around her, and the light filtering down through the trees catches browning pine needles. Behind her a gray blue highlights a clearing she recently left.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I just finished my course on wildlife drawing walking my students through this drawing of a blue-flag iris. It was a lot of fun. My next course is coming up in November. We will be drawing, crows, ravens, and jays. 🌿

Also I crashed and burned and had to have a nap for the second day in a row, which feels like I must be dealing with *something*. But no fever for me. Sigh.

Kiddo was fine all day and his fever JUST went up to 101.8. Crap.

I see a lot of people saying that a person charged with a crime deserves the chance to prove their innocence.

Please stop doing this because you have it backwards and this is really important.

It is ALWAYS the government's burden to prove a person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Ru did not make it. They said she had an 80% chance but probability was not in our favor.

We are caught between crying and maniacal laughter. Grief is weird we're just trying to pull forward and feel a little bit of normal right now.

We overdrafted everything.
Next monthis going to be hard.

Ru has parvo. She started having seizures just as we got to the vet. We put everything we had to pay the vet. So the next two months are going to be extremely difficult.

If you like anything on my Saatchi page let me know I desperately need to make some sales.
