Summer Solstice #art #portfolioday
Digital illustration of brambles and bay trees in a Californian midsummer forest. An effervescent creek bed, center frame, strewn with boulders and stagnant puddles, is cast in vivid, golden-yellow afternoon sunlight. The hillside and sparse forest beyond fades into the glow of early evening. A hushed, dry breeze blows against your back as you stumble across loose granite. Crumbling, parched moss encrusts the trunks you use to brace yourself against the incline. Towhees and ravens laugh in the middle distance. It stinks of bay leaves and baked soil. There's no trail anymore, just poison oak and deer tracks, and the sound of eternity. It's summer solstice.

forgotten phonebooths #watercolor
A watercolor painting in my sketchbook of two disused Pacific Bell phonebooths, hidden within a Californian forest of Ponderosa pine and incense cedar. The last rays of afternoon sun cut into the foothills, casting a raking light across the composition. The push-doors of the vintage boxes sit ajar, moss clumping on steel rooftops. A small yellow paper is posted in the foremost booth on the glass.

a small night watchman
A watercolor illustration of a black cat poised beneath the streetlamps of suburbia on a clear evening. His gaze is pensive as he peers curiously behind the implied viewer. A rolling forest of deep blue eucalyptus looms above the street from a nearby hillside. Cropped out of my sketchbook, 2x3"

chrysocolla malachite chorus frog #art
A digital drawing of a Pacific chorus frog, Pseudacris regilla, rendered as a bright blue and sparkling green silicate mineral in a scientific/geologic illustration-inspired style. The amphibian is wide-eyed and alert atop a larger rock specimen, peering upward as if preparing for a jump. Swirls, whorls, and amorphous patterns of semiprecious copper decorate the frog's body and surrounding perch. Drawn by hand in Procreate for iPad. #sciart #digitalart

agate salamander #scientificillustration #art
A digital illustration (drawn in Procreate) of a California slender salamander, Batrachoseps attenuatus, made of a colorful, lacey agate-like mineral. The amphibian is curled up in a comfortable posture, only one small hand peeking from under a large, shiny head. Concentric linework and minute cracks decorate both the creature and the stone beneath, morphing into a semi-continuous texture of powdery blue calcedony, deep red carnelian, and golden yellow quartz.

pocket totems #art
Digital art illustration of prehistoric stone artifacts. There are three round and friendly, anthropomorphic charms—carved from various shiny minerals—including an agate tiger, a jade elephant, and a bronze bear. Between these figurines are worry stones of the same materials. A fibrous string carrying a handful of beads tumbles across the canvas, ending in a loose end, adorned with a jade snake pendant. The background is a brown, earthen texture.

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.

Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

2nd century AD. Vatican Museums www.museivaticani.va/content/muse...

#MosaicMonday
#Archaeology
The image shows detail from a floor mosaic of a brown mouse on a pale background facing left with its nose close to half a walnut in its shell. The mouse has a long thin tail stretched out behind. The mosaicist has used a mix of lighter and darker brown tiles for the mouse’s body to hint at fur. The walnut is created with warmer light and dark brown tiles. Slightly darker background tiles have been used beneath the mouse and walnut to create subtle shadows

brimstone monuments #art #Halloween
A digital drawing of eight weathered, sinister tombstones against a black background. Each design is unique in size, shape, and adornment. Carved motifs include skulls, spirals, filigree, plinths, and Classical pediments. The stones are an old and rusty, stained hue, with a sickly greenish/yellow cast.

some old stones #Halloween
Digital concept art painting of assorted tombstones on a soft white/grey gradient background. Tombstone in top-left corner features a mourner resting her hands on a stylized claymore from the side, 3/4, and front views. Top-right corner tombstone shows a woman in the embrace of a winged skeleton with mossy accents. The bottom three designs feature permutations on the theme of a figural sculpture posed atop of a pedestal. The first shows Death with a scythe; the second, a wistful mourner; the third, a pensive angel.

eyes on you
Procreate horror art illustration; dark greyish-green composition with hot orange highlights--the uncanny shadows of trees at night dominate the image. A busted fence line separates the deep darkness and an unkempt field. Glowing eyes peer at you from beyond. For Drawtober, no specific prompts in mind though.
