Oh hey, apparently it is #PortfolioDay.

Full-time freelance palaeo-reconstruction artist for 25 years. If it's so dead it's turned to stone, I bring it back to life (as accurately as possible).

It's #Portfolioday apparently! So why not join in.
I'm a watercolourist based in the UK. My favourite genre is fantasy and folklore with a heavy leaning on creatures, but I have dabbled in other areas!

A peaceful scene of a swamp, with greens, blues and purples, a tree in the foreground and the head of a huge dragon visible resting in the water. A white heron takes off next to the dragon and it's eye is open. a blue dragon prepares to land at its nest of two dragonlings atop a huge mountain. Pale pink mountains with mists are in the background watercolour. A blue and pink scene of a lagoon with a mermaid sitting on a rock in the middle of the water with her pink tail and fins breaking from the surface. half human/half tentacles. The being stares at the viewer while relaxing in a cave pool with its tentacles coming out of the water, its upper body looks humanoid with long black hair and white glowing eyes.

A young woman in 15th century inspired black plate armor, looking wistfully and holding a longsword that has a magical golden light emanating from it. Behind her is a rich colorful tapestry with late Medieval motifs that's interwoven with gold thread. Illustration of a knight or paladin or swordfighter in chainmail and cloak, drawing her sword, stepping over a water surface towards the viewer. Behind her, a flock of swans rises up into the sky.

The conversation goes like this:
“Will you swim today?”
“I don’t know. It’ll be cold after.”
“Did you bring your suit?”
“…”
~after the swim~
“Are you glad you swam?”
“😬🥹🌊😍✨”

I perpetually forget my need to be immersed in water. Thank goodness for a partner who doesn’t 🌊

I was looking through paintings to share with y’all for International Women’s day, and stopped on this one. The feminine loss and grief still feels palpable in this sketch.

Women are incredible. People are incredible. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be on this earth with each of you.

On my windowsill under lights: Shallots and leeks in the tray, bunching onions seem to like the snail planting arrangement, getting ready to harvest some lettuce. Bok choy is looking good. The lettuce will be cut and come again!

The moth has a line of black bordered white spots that cross the middle of its wings from tip to tip and another line of black dots that cross the lower wings. A photo of the front of the moth showing it's head in detail, large brown eyes dominate the face while slender antennae that have tiny golden hairs cross below the outstretched wings

A deer in a shadowy purple wood, rearing up with wisps of gold whirling around it. Pink light streams from its eyes, and a glow from behind frames its head. Page of Wands - A young girl in Indian dress uses a magic wand for the first time, grinning as she throw sparks and streaks of pink light. At her feet is a grove of pumpkins carved into Jack o' Lanterns, which she's trying to light. A black, serpentine dragon with an iridescent shine to its scales. It coils and flies over an autumn forest, rustling up orange leaves as it passes. Behind it stretch a wooded valley and rounded mountains. A young queen in a gauzy purple gown holds two daggers, marching down a hall, framed by vine-covered arches and glaring light.

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together. A man wearing armor with large black and white wings outstretched behind him walking towards sunrise/sunset. He has his arm reaching back to grab the hilt of a sword with his seated between his wings. A woman dressed in white standing amidst a roaring blizzard in the forest. Her hair and hood are whipped by the wind; her eyes are glowing, and she's cradling a baby-shaped wrapped object in her arms. Her dress and mouth are stained with blood. A hand reaching up and touching a glitchy, multi-colored beam.
