This is my first real try using soft (chalk) pastel pencils. I've also never been very good at human portraits. I thought I should try to improve on that. This is my grandfather with a bird on his head.

I think im about done with this one. 20x20 inch watercolor on arches paper. I wanted the viewer to feel the grandeur of looking up at huge banana leaves like I did when I took the reference photo

Rolling along on the felted dragon project! It's got the whole body colored now, and the wing membranes are drying after being wet felted.

Have I ever needle felted before? No. Am I in over my head? Yes. Even still, I'm doing my best

Hello! I'm told it's #Portfolioday. I have dabbled in a lot of different art mediums, but this is some of my most recent watercolor work. I love bright colors and nature

"Conch Shell" Watercolor on cold pressed paper. 9x12 inch. This is a still life painting I made of one of my vintage thrifted pink conch shells. This one has a broken section, but I thought it added visual interest
