Howdy Bluesky 👋

I'm an artist that likes to paint and draw with traditional media. Being outside is my happy place and my hope is to share that peace and quiet calm.

Here's my most recent #watercolor #landscape I painted, channeling my inner Tony Couch for a class.

Winter watercolor painting of a murder barn with 2 prominent trees and a snow covered fence

The world outside is bathed in autumnal hues. It's my favourite season and I like to celebrate with some autumn colour in my art, I have a whole collection dedicated to autumn...

One of my favorite oldies from 2011! Kingfisher in acrylic on cardboard

#art #kingfisher #queerart

Acrylic painting of a black-backed dwarf kingfisher on a branch. It has a white chin, yellow cheek tummy and underside, an orange beak, blue wings, and a purple head and back. The background is a splash of blooming acrylic in red, yellow, black and green.

Thank you so much! Yeah it was lots of starting and stopping because I wasn't sure how to proceed, but had to do that whole "trust the process" thing 😄 really appreciate your comment, thank you! ❤️

Whew, finished with this one. 🥳
Lots of layers involving tricky timing and I am proud.

Watercolor painting of a misty mountain top with heavy, moody cloud cover and evergreen trees encompassing the mid ground and a grassy path in the foreground. The path is great for transporting the dead bodies from the murder barns, it's super convenient! Pops of yellow flowers are in the foreground and there's a prominent tree to the right.

It's like the bottom of the banana, the bananus, if you will.

Is it really banal? Or do you think it's more sinister?

That yellow was a bit unruly, but I think I handled it ok.

#watercolor on 9x12 New York Central 100% cotton block

#watercolour #painting #traditionalart #landscape #forest #coastal

Watercolor painting depicting a serene, coastal scene at midday. The shores are rocky and the forest comes right up to the water. This is especially convenient for folks wanting to float bodies down the water and for ease of distribution. The water is calm and reflects the forest in quiet waters with a few ripples.

Smaller version of a bigger painting I'm working on. It helps me problem solve.

Watercolor painting of a coastal scene, featuring large, green trees and their reflection in calm waters. The bears drag the dead bodies from the water into the woods. The trees are verdant with hues of cool blue and bright fresh greens.
