Artist, dog-lover, cat-lover, avid reader. Retired, so time enough for all of the above... All my paintings are digitally handdrawn (NO AI!!). Most are done in Clip Studio Paint

Face 164. Another portrait study.
Magpie on the rocks
Mouse after the rain. It has been a while since I drew an animal. #wildlife #animaldrawing #animalpainting
Fred. One of two kittens that share house and life of my daughter. #cat #catdrawing #catillustration #catart #art #digitalart
Memories. You take a painting, add something and hopefully it turn into ....a story. #illustration #art
Retro Girl. Went for a retro look (duh) and used pulp paper and experimented with palette knives for the background. #retro #illustration #art #digitalart #myart
My involuntary month long abstinence from drawing caused some kind of artist block. So I sat myself down and painted. Happy with the result. #portrait #art #digitalart #digitalpainting
Oyster. Not been able to draw for some time. This was just a way to get the muscle memory going.
Beard. I thought I was done doing portraits for a while. But here we are. I think it was the beard. #art #artshare #portraits #digitalpainting #illustration #realism
Geezer. I had promissed myself not to do any portraits for the time being. But than this guy came along and I couldn't resist.
Cat's eyes. Drawing fur is fun but a bit time consuming.
Well...she got her wish 😁
I'm in the comfortable position that I don't have to sell them for a living. I have sold a few, usually work I did on a commission basis. In those cases I print them on aluminium dibond and - if the client wishes - I frame them too. It's very much like screen prints or etches.
Muscle. Rebelle 8 is out. It is amazing how realistic it simulates traditional media. It is really like painting with oils or aquarel. But sadly I can't get my footing. It doesn't give me the amount of control I like. Still happy with this one and the "This is Sparta!" vibe it has.
Male portrait. Once in a while I get feed back that I only do portraits of women. So....here ya go!
Grumpy. Recently I posted a work in progress. Now the final version.
Rage. Sometimes you have a drawing that goes so smooth it's like it draws itself. No struggle, just fun.
Grumpy (WIP). It has been a while since I posted a Work In Progress. This one is nearing completion.
Lips like cherries. Skin texture is a challenge for me so I was apprehensive to tackle this one. Happy with the result. #artshare #art #digitalart #realism #hyperrealism
Tears. (Face 160). Subjects for portraits are usually good looking people trying to look even better. So for a change of pace....#artshare #art #digitalart #myart #clipstudiopaintpro
Face 162. This one went from: "Let's see if I can do that" to "What were you thinking!" to "Hmmm...that ain't half bad." #art #potraits #clipstudiopaint #digitalart #realism #artshare
