A digital drawing showing a house front with six large windows and some ivy growing between them. Inside the windows, cats are engaging in different activities in front of differently designed backgrounds. On the left side of the house, A cat-mom has just baked cookies in what looks to be a window and her child is lowering something on a line desceding from their window. Next to them, a cat in a straw hat is tending to flowers on their balcony, to the right, an orange cat is balancing in a stool, hanging up a prideflag while her roommate is watching from a bench at the window. On the second row of windows, a small cat is grabbing a red bucket with a "cookies" label that is lowered by their friend while its sister watches from the top of a bunkbed. Next to them a cat looking similar to them is reading in a large book, in a room decorated with stars and a telescope. They also have a foto showing a smiling lucky cat. In the last window a similar looking lucky cat is painting something on an easle. Between the different windows, small other animals are drawn, with two tiny windows with mice, one hiding and one blowing bubbles and two sparrows and a pigeon sitting on different window frames.

Just a quick study. The current contents of my dining room table fruit bowl. I’m slowly finding my way back to creating.
Done with @ittaimanero.bsky.social’s soft pastel medium brush.

Hope that all of you are surviving, and finding ways to escape the madness, just for the little bit.
I am going to draw something in the coming weeks. It's been too long.
All I wanted to do was to login to Twitter just to check the weather from my local weather man...

A moody blend of indigo and lavender paint is in the background. Many small, bright yellow wildflowers stack along the left side of the painting. Some of the wildflowers are in focus and some are blurred and out of focus. Near the middle, perched on a flower is a fuzzy bumblebee.
This one was in time out for several weeks b/c it wasn’t going great and I was super frustrated. Eventually it went back on the easel to be completed, and even though it didn’t turn out as I imagined, I learned a ton and count that as a win.

For #portfolioday, here’s a sampling of some of my favorite still lives. All done digitally in #procreate. For whatever reason, I feel that produce has a lot of personality. I love drawing food 😊.
All of these are available as prints upon request, please message me for details.
Hey #PortfolioDay
I'm an oil painter! I dabble in landscapes and portraits, but my true love is painting figure skaters in motion, trying to capture the speed and power of the atheltes alongside the emotion of the performance. ⛸️
I sell prints and originals here and I also work to commission :)
