Hello I paint tiny watercolour pictures of animals and try and raise awareness for conservation projects - for animals and the planet 🌱

Sorry this is not art related, but I’m now only 7 away from completing my dream nerdy bug-obsessed goal of getting 100% Vivillons in Pokemon Go 😅 #pokemongo #vivillon #bugtype

Also I recently started this painting of a Bulgarian Emerald, but then I got sick and it got paused - but I’m planning to finish it this week!

Sometimes when the world is as anxiety inducing as it is, I just like to pet my cat and play Pokemon Go and pretend that the most worrying thing in life is not yet having a 4* Dewpider.

Checked the news, regretted it, back to bed xx

I finished this painting of a betic midwife toad last night and feel pretty chuffed!
I love discovering interesting species and seeing people discover things they may have never heard of before! ☺️🐸

I’m bad at all this social media stuff, but if you want some background on my little miniature project, this is my cat Calliope - she was a very sickly lady who was the sweetest natured girl.
I gave her the best life I possibly could with oodles of love & she’s forever the inspiration for my art 🩵

My cat would like to know if you have any games on your phone

This week I decided to redo one of my paintings from all the way back in 2017!
I’ve once swam beside basking sharks, so they have such a special place in my heart 🥹

Here’s the final finished Bargibant’s Seahorse painting!
I’m actually really proud of this one and I hope you do too! ☺️

Currently in a beautiful castle painting the strangest little seahorse!
They’re about the size of a fingernail in real life, will post a painting when it’s finished! ☺️

Hello Bluesky, I’ve been feeling slightly vulnerable with art lately, I’m determined to follow my passions of painting but struggling to exist in a sea of wonderfully talented people & a little lost where to go.
Here is my tiny painting of a lovely fruitcrow though, I hope you like it 🩵

I know spiders aren’t the most popular things, but I recently discovered the existence of the ‘alien butt spider’ and honestly - as a pre-existing spider fan, I fell in love with painting this little friend!

By the way, I should introduce any of you who follow me here to my cat Lyra.
(You will see a lot of her)

I love painting insects. Insects just do their own thing, blissfully unaware of the intricacies of humanity. Their world is a quiet one that is beautiful to observe.

One of my favourite recent paintings I’ve done! 🩵

Are there any Pokémon Go players over here on BlueSky?
I’m attempting to get perfect stats of every Vivillon and it’s proving tricky 😅
Still searching for friends in Icy Snow, Archipelago, High Plains, Ocean, Modern, Tundra, Sandstorm & Monsoon 🤓

It’s hard to know where to begin with a ‘new app’ but if anyone ever reads this, I paint tiny little watercolours of animals.
Here’s a few bits of art I feel kind of proud of.
Hopefully I’ll feel motivated enough soon to create more 💜
