You know you need it.
Take a minute.

I know this makes me sound like an old fuddy duddy, but making my favorite animation list makes me realize just how much I miss hand drawn animation. The little imperfections, the warmth, the lines squiggling here and there. You could feel the humanity in every frame. Everything looks so clean now.

At this point it’s been said in a hundred different ways, so I think people are being intentional about not getting it.

A delicious snack! These are mini everything bagels with brie, smoked trout, and green onion. And,of course, a Fentiman’s pink ginger drink! Very tasty! 🥯 #bagel #minibagel #everthingbagel #smokedtrout #brie #greenonion #fentimans #pinkgingerale #delicious #cooking #snacks #snack #tasty #homechef

Another oil pastel dog portrait, this time of Holly when she was a wee tyke. Now she’s a big kid so we’ll have to so another portrait soon. #dogportrait #petportrait #art #portrait #boxer #boxerdog #drawing #painting #bonniewatts #dog #doggo

Another favorite portrait. Chelsea and Puggy. Done in oil pastel. #petportrait #dogportrait #art #pug #dog #doggo #oilpastel #drawing #painting #pet #portrait #bonniewatts

Some sketches of my newest project. I’ve had to set it aside for a minute to get ready for a holiday market but I’m looking forward to getting back to it! #drawing #wip #workinprogress #sketch #celticknotwork #medievalart #art #bonniewatts #decorativeart #ornament

One of my favorite dog portraits I’ve done. Her name was also Bonnie! Bonnies have to stick together. 😌 #petportait #drawing #art #pitbull #dog #watercolor #watercolour #dogportait #doggo #bonniewatts #coloredpencil #cute

Some handmade #notebooks / #sketchbooks I made. These are all done with light green pages and a coptic stitch binding. I will be selling them at a small holiday market in December! :) #bookmaking #bookbining #art #bonniewatts #craft #books #stationery #handmade #copticstitch

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.

An older blind contour of sunflowers. Painted with watercolor, 2020. One of my personal favorites because every moment creating it was happy. :)

Some sketches from a recent trip to Longwood Gardens.

A swatch set of the Kuretake Gansai Tambi granulating watercolors. One on hot press and one on cold press. Very interesting colors that look better the more water you use! Can’t wait for the right piece to use these on! :D
