You write your first manuscript. Obviously, it’s crap! You realize you need to take your skills to the next level for a chance to beat the odds in this business. You invest in courses. You rewrite....

I have been working on this drawing for a while, little by little, and I really like it 💛

Just a quick study. The current contents of my dining room table fruit bowl. I’m slowly finding my way back to creating.

Done with @ittaimanero.bsky.social’s soft pastel medium brush.

I thought that this administration was ran on a pledge for peace, and saving money. Bombing Iran will do neither of these things. Another war in the Middle East in my lifetime. God forgive us.

Embroidery has consumed a good chunk of my life. It's something that I can really escape into.

Hope that all of you are surviving, and finding ways to escape the madness, just for the little bit.

I am going to draw something in the coming weeks. It's been too long.

It always warms my heart to see illustrators creating to oppose the latest A.I. trend. ❤️

Human creativity matters! Reject ai, support the arts! Pick up a pencil, crayon or stylus and start scribbling!✍🏼😤🌈⭐️🎨

This one was in time out for several weeks b/c it wasn’t going great and I was super frustrated. Eventually it went back on the easel to be completed, and even though it didn’t turn out as I imagined, I learned a ton and count that as a win.

For #portfolioday, here’s a sampling of some of my favorite still lives. All done digitally in #procreate. For whatever reason, I feel that produce has a lot of personality. I love drawing food 😊.

All of these are available as prints upon request, please message me for details.

Hey #PortfolioDay

I'm an oil painter! I dabble in landscapes and portraits, but my true love is painting figure skaters in motion, trying to capture the speed and power of the atheltes alongside the emotion of the performance. ⛸️

I sell prints and originals here and I also work to commission :)

I drew this for my kitchen, an artichoke and lemon. Drawn in #procreate. Reminds me of fresh, Mediterranean and Middle East flavors 🍋💛

This is available as a print here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/mati...

Just been making more doodles that I spend less than an hour on. It’s a lot of fun.
