Finally some personal work on the go.

Holbien acryla gouache on Raymar cotton panel. Idk if I recommend this surface for this medium tbh, but it's got an interesting texture, and I can varnish it when it's done.

Colorful quilt of a nighttime scene with  Harriet Tubman in an orange jacket and purple dress carrying a rifle. She is leading other figures who walk behind her.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the β€œWe Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Illustration of an old building where ghost footprints lead to one of five doors.  This door is covered with a curtain, and light is coming from behind it.  Above is a staircase where a girl and cat walk towards a magical light.

Medusa as a young girl stands on a fallen statue of a Greek soldier. She wields a stick sword and grins as a seagull looks up at her.

Watercolour painting. The scene is underwater in a kelp forest, blue green to green from bottom to top and two Selkies are floating amongst the kelp staring at us with burning white eyes.
