It takes a lot of layers (colored pencil) on black paper, but I really am enjoying the process. Learning so much from all of my uber-talented artist friends at the Art Alliance of Central PA! And I do so love drawing kitties. Happy fall, y'all 🥰

So, we were unpacking Halloween decorations and I inadvertently placed these three into a basket before we decided where to put them. But now, they look like they're having so much fun together, I hesitate to separate them. 😆

Look at this precious little darling who fell asleep, cuddling the middle of the flower (Rose-of-Sharon.) 🥰 (Yes, it was alive, and lazily waved me away when I checked.) 💕

#collage is fun, y'all. You should do it. 😁 (Made during a class called Paper Portraits as part of the Summer Creative Retreat, hosted by the fabulous artist Peggy Dean - of The Pigeon Letters fame and taught by the amazing Claudette Hasenjager.)

Beautifully said. 💕
Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️

Artists create universes from nothing.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

Sometimes the early bird simply wants to go back to bed. 🙃 (Colored pencil w pan pastel background - first time trying these out!) Powered by Human Art, no AI. Admittedly wanted to pay a little homage to Sesame Street too. I love that show. *sniff* #birds #coloredpencils
