Illustration of owl family.

Thankful for quiet moments and cozy nests 🦉✨️🍂

This piece, Leafy Treasure, was painted as a little love letter to family — the kind of togetherness that softens the edges of the world. May your own nest feel warm and full this week.

A girl in a fantasy forest setting tending to a dying acorn person.

Dashing through the autumn wood
Past leaves of copper ‘n’ gold
Leaping moss and fallen logs
Tight to her hands they hold...

Double, double spice and sprinkle
Cauldron glub and lanterns twinkle

A dozen fragrant cinnamon sticks
Stir them ’round and make it quick...

So, no masking. It's really pretty simple: I've created a new layer over my rough-in of the trees (which include layers of fog like effects). And I'm using a soft edge airbrush like bush to detail the edges while keeping them soft. This is all in Photoshop with my Wacom tablet.

Thanks!! 😊

Trees take shape within the mist... 🌲☁️ (There is something very meditative about this sort of painting. 🤔)

Turquoise scent of hushed lagoon⁠

Bob of lily-leaves so green⁠
The glassy lap, waters serene⁠...

Amber lights are twinkling
Glinting in the gloaming
Padding on the mossy floor
Her fairy feet are roaming

Craggy branches, needles
Tickle as she passes
Shivering her mothy wings
Like gentle winds through grasses

“When you’re touched by magic, nothing’s ever quite the same again. What really makes me sad is all those people who never have the chance to know that touch. They’re too busy... so they shut the door without really knowing it was there to be opened in the first place.” ― Charles de Lint
