Hore Abbey at the Rock of Cashel, photo we took on our trip to Ireland in the early 2000s. Before-and-after images showing how I edited the original photo to have a painterly feel.

This is a picture of Craggaunowen Castle from our trip to Ireland 20+ years ago. I’m trying different ways of giving photos a painted look. After watching a ton of tutorials and a lot of trial and error I finally feel like I’m getting close. #AffinityPhoto #PhotoToPainting #PhotoManipulation

I tried something new and made this short video to show how I created a cute custom ligature for a typography treatment on a new card in my shop. I'm using the font Hattori Bold by Zane Studio55.

Informative article. Personally, I feel absolute disdain for and betrayal by Adobe. Unfortunately, there are valid points for them to take the top spots. 😖🥴 NOW! Scroll PAST Adobe!

I ❤️🦊! I created a collection of items featuring my cute fox illustration for my Zazzle shop. Cute gift ideas for the girl who loves foxes.

www.zazzle.com/collections/...

#zazzlemade #lovefoxes

This is a collage of pictures showing a sample of some of the items available for purchase in my Zazzle shop. It shows T-shirts, coffee mugs you can personalize with your name, framed poster print/wall art, and a decorative throw pillow.

Imagine of 3 girls wearing t-shirts from my “I love foxes” design collection. The collection features my drawing of a cute fluffy fox with quotes written in flowing feminine text. There are 3 different designs available. The first shirt shows the “This Girl Loves Foxes” quote with the Fox illustration and pink flowers surrounding it. The second shirt has the quote “Foxy Cute” and the fox drawing with pink flowers. The third shirt has the words “I love” with a red heart and 2 images of the fox artwork. One on each side of the heart. The design is meant to be read as “I Love Foxes”.

This is an oldie. One of my first digital paintings. It’s a picture of a lily of the valley with the words “Return to Happiness”. Lilies of the valley symbolize “a return to happiness”.

#lilyofthevalley #digitalpainting #flowermeaning #happiness #watercolorflowers

A digital painting of the wildflower lily of the valley. It has a water color feel with soft pinks and cream colors, and muted greens. It has the words lily of the valley and the phrase “Return to Happiness” written in paint brush stroke style letters along the side of the flower. The background of the image looks like a cream colored paper to give a more realistic painted feel.
