This is my new favorite painting I ever made, finished today. Acrylics on canvas #portraitpainting #acrylicpainting #art #portraitart #artist #artwork
Painting of a man sitting by himself in a bar wearing a light cardigan and a baseball cap. He's staring in the distance with his hand on his heart, looking a bit melancholic. There's bright green lights lighting the man's face up in a shade of green, also shades of pink, the surroundings are quite dark

In an effort to become ambidextrous I started a challenge of making 100 self portraits with my left hand. Here's number 13 in acrylic paint, I'm really quite proud of it! #art #portrait #artist #artpost #acrylicpainting #portraitpainting

Watercolor painting of four small tarts, one with meringue, one with strawberries, one with jam and strips of dough across, one that looks a bit messy but it's rhubarb I think

I made a video comparing my cheapest and most expensive watercolors! I also spend way too much time making the stop motion animations for the transition so I would love it if you would check it out :) youtu.be/BpMvgj6veJc?...

Campfire I, acrylics on canvas #painting #acrylicpainting #art #artist #artwork #artpost
Painting of three figures around a campfire. One is standing, one is sitting in a chair, one is sitting on the ground. The ones sitting are seen from the back, the one standing from the side. The painting is very dark except for the fire and some parts of the figures.

Memories of summer (1), acrylics on canvas #painting #acrylicpainting #artwork #artist #art
Painting of a river at sunset. There's three very dark trees at the horizon which is in the middle, above it a cloudless sky in pink and light blue. There are three small figures in the water on the left side of the painting, two standing together and one swimming away from them.

And this is my mom, acrylic on canvas #art #painting #portrait #portraitpainting #portraitart #acrylicpainting
Realistic painting of a middle aged white woman with short silvery hair. She is shown almost en profil and is looking at a point outside of frame. She has a light green shirt on and is wearing a silver necklace with a small wooden cross. There's a sharp streak of light on her face and dappled light over her shirt. The background is a somewhat darker light green

This is my dad, painted with acrylics on canvas #art #painting #portrait #portraitpainting #portraitart #acrylicpainting
Realistic painting of a middle aged white man with salt and pepper colored short curly hair and clear reading glasses on. He looks down to something outside of frame as if he is reading. He's wearing a dark blue shirt. There's a lot of light spot on the painting as if the man is sitting under a tree. The background is also a dark blue tone with some hints of green.
