Why do I say I finish my art, and then sit there and find things I want to fix? This time it is totally done. #french #butterflies #botanical #flowers #illustration #fineart #drawing #lady #fashion #decor #trees #painting #fantasy #albany #hudsonvalley #catskills #nyc #newyork #supportme #newwork

I went ahead and added a cameo at the bottom of my Pansies & Brunnera painting a couple of weeks ago. I literally got the phone call that my mom had passed while I was working on this. #art #flowers #death #grief #illustration #victorian #painting #bouquet #spring #sadness #mourning

RaverPress @raverpress.bsky.social · Jun 3

I have had a difficult time with my mom passing. I painted this for her funeral with paint marker and acrylic on canvas. On the back I wrote her a letter of all the things I did not get to say to her. I call this, "Flowers for my Mother".

My newest art. This is paint marker and acrylic paint on canvas. It is called Poppies and Ranunculus. And, yes, the lace is completely drawn in marker.

I made some last minute changes to my paint market painting, and my husband photographed it for my portfolio. #lilacs #tea #fineart #art #finished #painting #bouquet #perspective #paintmarkers #illustration #drawing #albany #hudsonvalley #upstateny #newyork #ny #catskill #usa #hireme #artist

So, apparently, I was not finished with my paint marker painting, so here is a plate of cookies as an apology. #lilacs #bouquet #stilllife #painting #art #imagination #perspectivedrawing #fineart #hireme #albany #hudsonvalley #upstateny #newyork #catskills #usa #paintmarkers #cookies
