Haven't been posting much here lately, because the art has sorta come to a halt. Life, as it often does, has sorta gotten in the way and snuffed my creativity for the moment. Hopefully I'll get back to creating soon.

February Flowers Day 25: French

This one took me a moment. Then I remembered seeing the gardens at The Palace of Versailles when I was there about 30 years ago. So I found an aerial image and and went from there.

I've been largely absent this last week. Other than posting art across the platforms, I've tried to avoid doom scrolling. It's helped my mood 100%. Now if I could only sleep normally.

A drawing of a tiefling woman with orangish-red skin, and light brown curly hair in two long braids. She is wearing a white crop top and leather pants, along with lots of gold jewelry. She’s holding a goblet of wine in one hand.

My bard, Cora, for our new D&D campaign.

I love her!!

Get good, n00b!

❤️ Thank you!

February Flowers Day 23: Happy

A bit of collage, some Posca, hand carved stamps and no real goal or direction, but I'm happy with the end result!

Made some prints of flowers from a few of my hand carved stamps, cut them out and arranged them.

FebruaryFlowers Day 16: Nostalgia

I painted this 7 years ago on February 18, 2018 for February Flowers. They're Fire Lilies I imagined in a vessel by ceramist, Eric Botbyl , titled "Cherimoya".

February Flowers Day 15: September

Thought about Mums, but ultimately had to go with the Beauty Berry. It's not a flower, but it sure is lovely in September.

First test print for this design. Clearly I need to use less ink or make the dots bigger so they don't flood with ink 🙃 (Putting this one aside for now and moving on)

February Flowers Day 14: Water Lilies

I used a styrofoam tray, (I'd washed and saved), as my print block, drew the design, then scratched it out.

February Flowers Day 13: Dancing
Whirly Birds (Maple seeds) and Cherry Blossoms. Both are lovely when they fall from their trees!

Hearts with butts drawn on them. One is farting.

Look if you're not using your art degree to write silly notes and draw hearts with butts on things, you're not living up to your true potential.

February Flowers Day 12: Persnickety
I don't know if this really fits the theme, but I had a random "Hey, I want to try this..." moment and just went with it! .

February Flowers Day 9: Ruffles

When I think of flowers and ruffles, the carnation is always the first in my mind. Went simple today. Just a quick little sketchbook painting.
