Work in progress acrylic painting of a wood duck drake on an autumn sunset lake

#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!

Work in progress acrylic painting of an orca in a sunset

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!

Work in progress acrylic painting of a sunset

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.

First layer of an acrylic painting of a sunset

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!

Acrylic on Canvas painting of a hummingbird eating from a pansy

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.

An acrylic on canvas painting of a doe and her Fawn

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 🥰

An acrylic on canvas pad painting of a fox leaping into a hole in the snow

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 🥰

A Handpainted bumblebee in acyrlics, sitting in a lavender blue tinted flower

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!

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.

Kobra 3 and Ace Multifilament attachment after the first successful print Chibi Bulbasaur face magnets Example of Bulbasaur face magnet Example of Bulbasaur face magnet

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.

The first day of my booth at Indiana Comic Con Live Demo painting a 3D Pokémon TCG Growlithe Card Meeting Ms Sarah Natochenny and presenting her with the Ash figurine I 3D printed and hand painted! The last day, right at the end. Definitely looks like a different booth!

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!
