An older woman wearing a purple shirt with an abstract floral pattern sitting at a table. She has a green background. She is holding a paint brush and has paper in front of her. A soft pastel on sanded paper drawing.

The second soft pastel drawing. This one is my grandmother to go with the one of my grandfather. 11x16 inch, pastel on sanded paper.

At least the other person brought it to you! Every Christmas I would have to walk at least a couple packages down the street to our neighbor. We were 210, and they were 201

Thank you!

A green abalone shell I had that I decided to paint. I wanted to see if I could make a flat painting look iridescent. Watercolor on paper

Who are you hoping to get? I'd like to suggest Drago, since he's a dragon and a funny little guy

The finished drawing of my grandfather with a bird on his head in soft pastels. It won second place and an honorable mention at the county fair! I learned a lot while making this. "Tony" 12x17" pastel on sanded paper.

A watercolor painting of a purple jellyfish with red tentacles on a dark blue and black background.

A bit of glare, but this is an 8x10 inch watercolor painting of a white spotted jellyfish that I photographed at the aquarium. The dark background is mostly indanthrone blue

A gouache painting of three carousel horses with a red and gold background.

20x20 inch gouache on watercolor paper. This is the carousel I grew up riding at the boardwalk. I wanted to try painting it

Oh man, that looks amazing already!

An unfinished soft pastel drawing of an older man with glasses. There is a bird on his head.

This is my first real try using soft (chalk) pastel pencils. I've also never been very good at human portraits. I thought I should try to improve on that. This is my grandfather with a bird on his head.

I love it! His character is so sweet in the game, too. I'm so happy they added a fun monster guy for us

So cute! I call my cat goober so often I think he thinks it's his real name

A green watercolor painting of banana leaves.

I think im about done with this one. 20x20 inch watercolor on arches paper. I wanted the viewer to feel the grandeur of looking up at huge banana leaves like I did when I took the reference photo

No, of course not! I'm a type 1 diabetic and also the family baker. You'll get good enough control to eat your favorite things again

A large watercolor painting of green banana leaves laying on a desk. It is surrounded by other art odds and ends.

Still working on this massive 20 inch square watercolor painting of banana leaves. It's taking a while, but I think it's going well

As someone with an expensive chronic illness, I feel for you. Take time to grieve if you need to

I don't, but I also use ublock origin on Firefox, so no youtube ads. Maybe it's blocking that for me

I believe you may have found a male gold digger. Possibly he was negging you. It's some awful incel tactic of insulting the other person to make themselves look strong and/or desirable while hurting your confidence. Bullet dodged

A cat painted with my current watercolor pallet for the big banana leaves

My favorite game! It looks amazing

Banana leaves slowly being painted in watercolor on a huge 20 by 20 inch paper.

My first time painting a piece this large! I only got through this much in an hour. It's 20 x 20 inch watercolor on cold pressed paper

I made this felted dragon and sheep knight! I'm very proud of it for my first time felting

My felted wool dragon with the brave sheep knight at the Maryland sheep and wool festival. It has won several ribbons!

My dragon and sheep knight won first place in the misc class and best of Maryland! It's in the Maryland sheep and wool festival until tomorrow.

I added a little sheep knight to the felted dragon! He's so brave with his sword, shield, and helmet

I love that New York is confidently placed over Maryland

Got the dragon mounted to the wood. His fire is in place as well now!

A felted green dragon laying on a wooden dining table. It does not yet have wing membranes or a base.

Rolling along on the felted dragon project! It's got the whole body colored now, and the wing membranes are drying after being wet felted.

Working on the face now

A large armature wrapped in white and colored wool, slowly taking the shape of a dragon in flight. It is a needle felted sculpture in progress.

Have I ever needle felted before? No. Am I in over my head? Yes. Even still, I'm doing my best
