Yes I do realize the sun is not directly above its reflection 🤦‍♀️ Something to fix in the next painting session!

Detail shots on one of a work in progress. Can’t wait to share the finished forrest scene based on a hike I took a few years back in #olympicnationalpark

Starting sketch for a local ice cream shop #nocturn. Any metro Detroiters recognize this favorite?

Nothing helps the Sunday Scaries like an evening paint session. These little #goldfish were so fun to paint!

I’ve been enjoying working on paper recently. I wish collectors loved paper paintings as much as I do

Just a standard moth dressed up in a beautiful frame. And she’s glowing!

Found this frame at an estate sale and knew I had to make a dramatic piece of bug art to go inside.

Itty bitty bug. This lil lady is still available and I think she would just look so sweet in a nursery or office!
