I've actually not really shared any of my "Whimsical Stardust" set of illustrations here.

This was one of the earliest ones, one of my favouries, and the only one to feature a fantasy creature!

My family got their first dog a year before I was born and have always had them since.
I don't know how I'd cope without dogs in my life, they have so much joy and love to give <3

Time for a splash of colour!

Rainbow lorikeets, based on a photo I took of a very sweet pair whilst visiting Edinburgh zoo a while back.

Photo of a gouache painting of a pair of rainbow lorikeets. One is sat content leaning forwards with it's eyes closed, and the other is sat as close as it can be to the first, preening the back of its head.

I have well-and-truly fallen in love with lineolated parakeets.

#birds #birdart #sciart #art #watercolor #watercolour #painting #petportrait
Photo of a painting of a barred/lineolated parakeet, a small round-looking parrot with big eyes. This painting shows just the head, neck, and upper back of the bird. The painting is only in shades of a dusty blue, with black pen used for details, and white ink speckles over the top.

Forget everything you've ever known about how parrots sit when you meet a lineolated parakeet.

Photo of a simple painting of a lineolated parakeet, in yellow, gold, and beige watercolour, with black and white ink details. The bird is happily hung upside down from an unseen perch, stretching it's head down to look below it.

Lineolated parakeets are one of the quieter species in the parrot family that people keep as pets- Although they're still capable of some loud beeps, especially when they hear other birds.

Photo of a watercolour painting on A5 paper of a linneolated parakeet perched on a branch, leaning forwards with it's beak open. It is painted in a cool grey tone, with black and white ink for details.
