On a 6 inch square piece of cold press water color paper, watercolor and ink collide, forming the gentle hues and rough textures of the box tortoise. This quick little watercolor doodle uses greens and browns and golds to bring to life one of Missouri's gentlest creatures. These little beings are a testament to patience and warmth and having everything you need on your back.
Just a little turtle 🐢
Golden hues and timeless patience – a little tribute to nature’s quiet wisdom.

"Feline Reverie” – A tribute inspired by the Rainbow Bridge—a symbol of love and hope for those we’ve had to say goodbye to. The vibrant hues were chosen to reflect the joy, comfort, and lasting memories our furry friends bring into our lives.

This 16-in x 20 inch stretched canvas depicts a scene of an old family Barn in acrylic paint the barn is red and silver metal it has a light brown stone silo sitting to the side in front of it at the other side sits a small white dairy shed dotted on the land in front of the barn are several Black Angus cows hanging on the front of the barn is a sign that's made to look like the quilts made by the mother of the current owner of this family Barn this painting was purchased by the wife of the current owner as a Christmas gift for her husband
Picked up yesterday and went to it's forever home. I hope it becomes a treasured family heirloom. I ended up changing the cows from Holsteins to Black Angus but it still has the same energy and soul!

On a 16x20 canvas it starts with a gray gesso backdrop and little by little layers of color and shapes and lines are added. each picture is representative of a step in the process until finally we are left with the image of an old red family Barn, a brown silo and a small white dairy shed. a handful of cows are scattered on the grounds around the barn. And in the distance you can barely see the various greens and yellows and browns of the forest foliage.
Steps and layers. A dash of white or a splash of cerulean. Shifting lines and shadows. Gentle dabs and the lightest of brush strokes...

One black-and-white charcoal drawing of a family home, created on Strathmore 500 series toned paper. The drawings showcase meticulous detail, with shading and linework capturing the textures of the roofs, siding, windows, and landscaping. The top two drawings depict a single-story home with a sloped roof, double garage, large windows, and surrounding trees, shown from slightly different angles. The bottom two rows feature another home with similar design elements, but the rightmost drawing (an 8x10) includes additional details, such as intricate shading of the trees and enhanced depth in the home's architectural features. The tonal contrast highlights the natural surroundings and structure of the homes, emphasizing the skilled craftsmanship of the artist. Each drawing is signed with 'Blaskie 2024' in the corner.

Hi! 👋 I’m Sarah Blaskie, an artist working with acrylic, charcoal, photography, ink, watercolor & clay. My art shifts between colorful/moody, aiming to inspire and bring clarity to chaos.
Fun fact: I love photographing bugs with a 20mm macro lens! 🕷️📸

Subtle Fragments No. 1, 5 inches by 5 inches, acrylic on stretched canvas. Three figures in bold colors stand in a sea of warm white negative space while spectral forms made with charcoal pass them by. This painting serves as a reminder of our everyday interactions and their influences on our lives
Subtle Fragments No. 2, 5 inches by 5 inches, acrylic on stretched canvas. Two figures in bold colors stand in a sea of warm white negative space broken up with hints of architectural formation. This painting serves as a reminder of our everyday interactions and their influences on our lives
Subtle Fragments No. 3, 6 inches by 6 inches, acrylic on cradled wood panel. Four figures in bold colors stand in a sea of warm white negative space. This painting serves as a reminder of our everyday interactions and their influences on our lives
Subtle Fragments No. 4, 6 inches by 6 inches, acrylic on cradled wood panel. Six figures in bold colors stand in a sea of warm white negative space. This painting serves as a reminder of our everyday interactions and their influences on our lives
Fragmented explores beauty amid chaos. Each blank canvas begins with pure intuitive creation. Then I create form using negative space, carefully allowing the previous chaos to still exist and help in the formation

An old man sitting on some steps and waiting on a chilly November Jumu'ah in Mingora, Swat, KPK.
20 minute sketches are my current personal challenge. They lack the fine details of the hours long drawings but it is great practice!

A little time lapsed glimpse of my drawing...I am fortunate enough to have close connections in Pakistan and I love documenting daily life in Mingora through charcoal, ink and other mediums.
