Lots of leaves, lots of trees getting painted. Painting a tree a day keeps the existential dread away? Not really, but it helps. Gouache watercolor for an upcoming book. #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #childrenspicturebook #childrensbookillustration

I’m very happy to see more of my #illustrator and #kidlit fam migrating over to bsky! Here is another cute moth painting for an upcoming book. Even the most “drab” , unassuming moths are very beautiful upon close inspection.
