#WIP I decided since my mallard was chosen for a gallery show coming up at the end of September, it's time to work on the wood duck!

Currently have several paintings in progress so this should be fun!

I absolutely am in love with him! He makes me smile every time I see him. 🥰 Which honestly is something I desperately need right now!

I finished the water, I finished the sunset, and I decided to give myself more work by adding a whale. I always do this 😂

I'll be adding more details to him over the coming days, including a good water splash.

The goal is to be done by the 7th!

Lots of frustrated tears and corrections later, and the second acrylic wash on the bottom is currently drying...

I'm finally pleased with the direction of this. More to do tomorrow.

A few days ago I was gifted the largest canvas I have ever worked with, a 30x40, that had been left at someone's home and found when they moved in... just sitting.

I've never painted a canvas this big. So I'm being experimental. This should be fun!

A little pivot and a break from what I've been doing to follow a whim. Can you tell I'm craving spooky season?

It probably goes without saying that I adore her, but I absolutely freaking adore her!

Number 5 in my small forest friends study series, mama raccoon is checking you out from a grassy patch!

Acrylics on Canvas pad, I may go back and touch up later

Another in the first friends series, I finished a hummingbird as well! I used acrylic metallics for the first time.

Still trying to decide if I like him if or I need to do something else to him.

I may add some birch trees to these guys! Took about two days, another in the first friends series

The emphasis is on learning how to do the animals themselves, and the closer up details. Backgrounds will come eventually 🥰

The second in a mini series I'm doing of some of my favorite forest friends, I decided to challenge myself a little bit with a leaping fox!

This might be one of my favorite paintings done to date 🥰

I needed a little break from leaf monotony so I pulled out my canvas pad and painted a little bumblebee.

This guy has been in my head for a couple of days now, so I knew I needed to paint him. And I kinda like him!

Current WIP, I'm 10 days in on this one and just finished placing all the base colors today. I'll be spending the next week or so on layers, definition, blending, shadows and fine details!

Oh, hi!

I've been painting recently.

Actually it's all I've really had the capacity to do.

So please enjoy my last three completed works! All acrylics on canvas.

I've never painted a canvas before. I've only painted models and ran away from pictures when I was told I wasn't good.

Anyway, here's a mixed media piece I did.

Acrylics on canvas and printed model, 28 hour freehand paint, 18 hour print.

I have been having printer problems to say the least. Big part of my absence.

But today I got three pieces painted and sealed and I wanted to share them 🥰

Am I just printing because I want to now?

Maybe.

But at least my booth will be filled with joy!

I am genuinely amused.

I got the multifilament attachment for my printer. So of course I print Bulbasaur magnets.

Lots on my mind lately. Recovery from comic con was not small.

Thinking about a name change and fully embracing my path.

It's time to leave old things behind.

Indiana Comic Con was the best experience of my life so far as an artist!

Y'all showed me so much love, I ended up having my best show to date! And I cannot wait for more!

I'm bad at social media, but I'm going to try to keep up!

Have I been busy being sick, then chronic illness flares, then trying to prep for Indiana Comic Con's Artist Alley?

Yes.

I'm sorry I've been away! But I promise I've been busy!
