Gloomy autumn lake house 🍁

Used yesterdays and today’s #dailyart time for this one, clocking in at 4hr 30, suffering for architecture
Painting of an old house on a lake, autumn leaves on the trees and on the water. The day is overcast, and a group of crows perch on the roof, slightly spooky vibe

Will try not to be too annoying with this but repetition is the thing that gets your work out there, so just to WANG ON AGAIN, my Changing Landscapes zines are for sale via my website for £10 including postage (UK only).

Let’s make a deal…

Today’s #dailyart , technically started this one yesterday but I was totally beat. Clocking in at 3hrs on this one, it really ran over, just like driving probably shouldn't draw when tired 😴
Digital painting - night time, spooky atmosphere - lone figure stands at the mouth of a large cave with a torch raised, holding out a scroll, in the darkness of the cave we can just see a strange face and four gesturing arms attatched to some larger creature
