I guess I'm ready for a new re-intro post. Does that make it a re-re-intro post?

I have been painting with watercolors for just over 2 years now. I finally reached a stage where I am happy enough with my own art to hang it on my wall on 7-11-25. I guess it took me long enough! Lol

Links in bio.
A watercolor painting of a bearded iris. It's bottom petals or purple with blue high or low lights. The top petals are yellow with orange highlights. A watercolor painting of a cherry blossom branch. There are three open blooms and several buds stressed out along the length of the branch. There are a soft pink with darker pink shadows. A watercolor painting of a night Time Forest in the winter. Is snowing and obviously dark outside but there is a warm and inviting lantern shining in the darkness. A watercolor painting of a bluejay. He is very regal looking and has one wise looking eye as he is seen in profile. His chest and neck are white with cream and gray shadows while his feathers on his back head and his beak are all blue.

A watercolor painting of a fall colored Maple leaf. Is lying on a flat surface and appears to be 3D due to the shadows. The colors are fading for green to Orange to red with tads of brown spread all over the place.

For Day 1, we're starting off with my latest painting that I just finished yesterday:

“Misty Forest”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a dark, closed-in forest with breaks of sunlight and fog. (with slightly-hidden kitty)

My (long distance) friends keep saying they'd love to watch me paint. But when I'm available to do so and invite them - there's always a 'not right now.'

Various reasons. Most of them valid, but I've been asking several of them for months.

Am I pestering by continuing to ask?

Improvement is almost always about perceived "failures", rather than about things you do well.

If you only focus on what you do well, there is no room for growth. You might become exceptional at those specific tasks, but you lose out on honing your craft all-around.

Mistakes don't exist.

A mixed media piece I did for a friend a few years back.

There are some aspects I would modify at this point if I had an opportunity, but overall I'm pleased with the results.

IIRC, it was a birthday gift for another friend of theirs.

It was a fun little project to work on at the time. :)

The spotted owlet (Athene brama) is a small owl which breeds in tropical Asia from North Pakistan to Southeast Asia. The upperparts are grey-brown, heavily spotted with white. The underparts are white, streaked with brown. The facial disc is pale and the iris is yellow. There is a white neckband and supercilium. Sexes are similar. (from Wikipedia) Our reference photo has the owl perched in a tree, where two branches diverge. Body is in side profile, breast facing our left, and their head is turned to face us. In the background are more large tree limbs

I don't think I actually posted this and its WIPs. I made a Deathclaw based on one of the limited edition Nuka Cola drinks. I have collected 3 more drinks since this one and still need to do those Deathclaws. This one was good, grape was ok, sarsaparilla was odd, the blue sour one was horrible 😖
Lineart of Deathclaw WIP. My first time doing something like this, I hadn't drawn deathclaws before. I was inspired by the limited edition Nuka Cola/Fallout themed drinks and wanted to make a series of Deathclaws based on the different flavors. Shaded WIP of the Deathclaw. I used diluted, permanent ink to create shadows that I later covered with watercolors. Finished Deathclaw painting, the coloration based off the Nuka Cola Victory soda Black background was ink, color is watercolors, lineart from pens. The paper did not cooperate at all, it was a new multimedia sketchbook I got that seems to repel water instead of absorb it.
