A collection.
A #collection of items arranged on a table top. In the top right there is the corner of a glass dish with fruit in it. In the center of the #photo the other items are arranged thus: (top to to bottom) -a jagged bit of broke slate roofing tile, colored on with pastel emerald chalk, for the hat. - a tiny bread pan with a collection of cicada exoskeletons, divided, for the eyes. #collecception - a river-washed black rock for the nose. - three mini candy bars form a smile, from left to right: Milky Way, butterfinger, and Baby Ruth

Another set that turned out pretty cute. This set I hand delivered to the buyer at a metro station in DC because it was so close to Christmas and I wasn’t sure it would arrive on time! #originalart #art #handmade #guitar #artists #acrylic #acrylicpaint #familyportrait #buylocal

A looong time ago I used to paint custom family portrait nesting dolls. I have a few blanks left, I’m considering painting them again, if there is interest. This set probably took me 50 hours altogether. 🫠 #acrylicpainting #art #artists #handmade #family #knitting #petportraits

Fun little poster I just finished for the local art market drawn using Procreate. I was trying to go for a victorian postcard vibe.

For good measure, some traditional art, a painting I made for my dad. A small copy of Christ Pantocrator. Acrylic on dollar store wooden panel. Not ideal, but worked after much sanding and many coats of gesso.

Image of Christ Pantocrator. A bearded man with long hair holds a closed New Testament with a golden cover I his left hand. In the center of the book is a cross of obsidian, with four groups of three white jewels, maybe pearls, at the four corners, bordered with more obsidian jewels. his right hand is held up with the fore and middle fingers raised, the remaining fingers touching. He is wearing a dark blue robe with a gold/red fabric just showing near the raised hand. Behind his head is a golden halo decorated with a simple motif painted in red. He stands in front of a town, flanked by two golden domed buildings that rise above the other white structures. At the horizon a dark blue sea, the same color as the robe, meets with a lighter blue sky, decorated with stars.

Trying to attract the right type of buyers for the house a couple doors down.
A chalk drawing on a concrete retaining wall of three cute anthropomorphic animals with large eyes. The first is a pastel multi-colored cat drinking a cappuccino and eating a pink frosted donut, whom is wearing a green and purple striped sweater, cuffed jeans, and brown boots. The middle figure is a smaller brown cat in a blue and pink dress, eating ice cream. The third figure is a blue bird wearing a pink hat with a yellow flower and a lilac dress, holding a yellow sleeping baby bird, while sitting on a bench. In front of the wall there is sidewalk chalk on the ground and in a take out soup container.
