HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

This is Bill. Won’t you follow sweet old Bill?
This image is a watercolor painting. A solid black ox looking over a stone wall at you with soulful brown eyes. He has a dark pink nose and upturned horns. Behind him is a lush grassy field, a split rail fence, and forest. In the background to the left, at the end of the fence is the corner of an old stone building.

Some afternoon peace by the river.
#river #nature #peaceandquiet
The edge of a river with green plants floating close to the viewer. The water is shining in the sun. Across the river are thick green woods. No buildings are in sight.

It’s #blackcatappreciationday !
This is my vanishing phantom Salem. She’s very sweet, but very shy and she disappears into the ether anytime someone comes to visit. But, when she’s feeling brave, she asks her resident hoomins for belly rubs and brushing. 1/2
Two cats cuddling on a blanket. The “big spoon” on the right is a large black and white cat with green eyes, and the “little spoon” on the left is a solid black cat with gold eyes. Both cats are looking at the camera. A black cat sitting on a windowsill staring outside at a doe. The doe is staring in the window over the cats head. A black cat with gold eyes sitting at the top of a drafting table by the window, and peering at the camera from behind a telescoping light pole. A black cat with gold eyes relaxing on a purple and blue patchwork quit with a black stars and moons pillow behind her.

This is my Mogget. I painted this memorial portrait for her after she passed away in 2021. Since then I’ve been painting both magical and memorial portraits for beloved familiars. Just one more service I offer.
#witchsky #artsky
Watercolor painting. A fluffy orange tabby cat sits loaf-style in a red flower pot. She’s surrounded by potted plants and one lit candle. Above her hang a brass pentacle wind chime and a silver sun catcher. Trees, bushes, and rolling hills in the background. This is Mogget, she was my baby and this is her memorial portrait.

Small #pieces of the night sky painted on a unicorn birch panel. This is Monoceros, the unicorn constellation! You can see it in February and March in my area, between Orion, Canis Major, and Canis Minor. The moon and constellation in this painting glow in the dark! 💖 #stars
#blueskyartshow
A unicorn shaped painting hanging outside on a bright sunny day. The unicorn is painted black and dotted with stars. Connecting lines show constellations. There’s a full moon in place of the unicorn’s eye, and a comet streaking across the unicorn’s cheek. It had a glittery blue horn and a shimmery blue and purple mane pained in a graphic style. A large constellation on the unicorn’s neck is labeled “Monoceros” in silver letters. Above it is the small constellation Canis Minor, though it is not labeled. If you were to shine a black light on this painting, the moon and the stars that make up Monoceros would glow. The artist used Fluorescent paint.

I had a wonderful time at Free Spirit Gathering last week! WE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR! This festival has been my home away from home since 2008, though this was my first time back since 2018. If you’ve never been to Free Spirit Gathering, I recommend you try it at least once.

A white, brightly lit 10x10 pop up tent at night. The tent houses colorful displayed of artwork and prints. A big banner in the back of the tent says “Drawing Down Lore” An art display with a big banner in the middle. The banner is black and purple, with a logo in the middle. The logo is a silhouette of a crow with a paintbrush in its beak, trailing purple paint across a full moon. Below the banner reads “ Drawing Down Lore Art by Kerry Mairie” in white letters. A table with a star-spangled black tablecloth and small paintings. Seven of the paintings are propped up on small easels. Four of them are unicorn portraits. From left to right there is a rainbow Pride unicorn, Swift Wind from She-Ra, Amalthea from the last unicorn, and the constellation Monoceros. In front of them, flat in the table is a large array of 28 2-inch square paintings and led tea-light candles. A pair of paintings hanging in an outdoor display. The smaller painting on the left is a swirl of symbols: a pentacle, Druid sigil, and Norse Runes. The larger painting on the right depicts an underwater scene in which a kelpie horse with a visible red skeleton trots along the bottom of a lake with three fish companions.

This is a stained glass window I made back in 2010 of the Mari Llwyd. It’s made of nearly 300 #pieces of hand-cut glass. It’s about 4 ft high and 2 ft wide. It was part of a larger installation, but this is the only piece of the original work I have. I haven’t made glass in awhile.
#blueskyartshow
A stained glass window featuring the Mari Llwyd with a black glass border. The Mari Llwyd is a horse skull, its jaws wide open in song. She has red glass for eyes. She’s bedecked in red and green glass ribbons and her cape is outlined in clear textured glass. The background is deep blue glass.

I picked up 15 unicorn-shaped birch panels. I’m having a lot of fun with these. This is the first one. Did you know there’s a unicorn constellation? It’s called Monoceros! The best time to see it where I am is in February and March, between Orion, Canis Major, & Canis Minor.

Just for fun, I’m painting 2x2 inch miniatures, and they glow in the dark!
I have 78 of these tiny canvases. These are #’s 1-3, Full Moon, Lightning Bug, and Cat’s Eye.
Tiny painting of a green cat’s eye. The painting is held between the artist’s thumb and forefinger. It is 2 inches square. A glowing green cat’s iris in a pitch black background. A glowing painted full moon on a pitch black background. The moon is cratered and slightly greenish. Below it are the words, “#1 Full Moon” in white letters. A tiny 2 inch square painting held in the artist’s hand. The painting is of an orange, black, and white lightning bug or firefly in a starry sky. Above the hand and painting are the words “Glo-Tinies! #2 Lightning Bug” in orange letters.

Finally pulled the plug. I have been meaning to for awhile after the many, MANY other shitty things Etsy has done over the years.

Please bear with me as a rebuild my shop over on GoImagine and my portfolio website. It may take me some time. Thanks y’all.

#fucketsy #etsy #shop
An Etsy shop in vacation mode with a message that says,” Bye Etsy, I’d say it’s been fun but you’ve honestly sucked for awhile. Drawing Down Lore is FUCKING LEAVING. This shop has moved to DrawingDownLore.com and GoImagine.com please bear with me as I move my listings. I will not do business through a platform that allows “Alligator Alcatraz” merch, items CELEBRATING a concentration camp. Fuck all the way off Etsy.

I made tiny glow in the dark paintings to keep myself occupied while recovering from a concussion last month. No screens-no tv, computer, or phone, & no podcasts or audiobooks. But I was allowed to paint & knit in short bursts. These were fun & comforting to do, & Im making more. 2”x2” Glo Tinies!
11 tiny two inch square paintings arranged on a black tablecloth. The top row are a starburst and a pentacle. Second row down from left to right: a Barbie pink triple goddess symbol on a glittery black background, a White Lotus Tile from Avatar, and a Barbie pink Faerie star on a black glittery background. Third row from left to right: a neon yellow Druid’s Awen on a dark green glittery background, a green cat’s eye, an owl’s face with neon yellow eyes, and an ankh with a red, blue, black, and gold starburst background. The bottom row paintings are the Green Man, and a bright green triskelle. The white sign at the top center reads Glo-Tinies: original, miniature glow-in-the-dark paintings, $ 20 each.

New booth layout, I’m happy with this one.
A pop-up tent housing an artist’s traveling shop. On the front corners are a magazine rack full of brightly-colored prints, and an easel with a large painting of an underwater scene with a trotting kelpie and fish. A black and purple planner with a logo of a crow with a paintbrush in its mouth and the words, “Art by Kerry Mairie Drawing Down Lore”. The banner is flanked by a pair of painting depicting rearing horses. Under the banner is a small table with a black table cloth, seven smaller paintings on easels, and eleven tiny paintings laying flat on the table, front and center. A heavily textured painting of a tree with a gold background hangs over a table with a black tablecloth. On the table, from left to right: a black display with fantasy creature stickers, a stack of business cards, a wooden crate full of small art prints, a silver vase full of multicolored roses, a metal rack with larger art prints, and a small book-shaped wooden display full of tasseled bookmarks. A standing wooden print rack, full of black-matted art prints. The rack is surrounded by an unfolded purple room divider with more prints hanging from it. Above the room divider hangs a small painting of a pentacle, wreath, and floating Norse runes.

Office Plants are happy today.
A bright red amaryllis bloom in a sunny window. A line of potted plants on a sunny windowsill. Outside the window is a clear blue sky, grass, daffodils, trees, and a cowshed & fence. The plants from left to right are a tiny lemon tree sapling in a white pot, an amaryllis in full red bloom in a black pot, and a small jade plant in a terra cotta pot.

A large painting sitting on a wooden easel. The painting is of an underwater scene. A transparent green Kelpie with red bones is trotting along the bottom of a lake with three fish friends. The water is murky. There are underwater plants and a sunken, rotting log.

From the Monday Mural. Work in progress.
An unfinished painting of greenery and a star anise pod on a dark blue wall. An unfinished painting of greenery vibes and three yellow roses on a dark blue wall. An unfinished folk art mural on a dark blue wall, surrounding a set of recessed shelves. Painted Vines and leaves creep and swirl up both sides of the wall, ending in two curls of vanilla flowers and a Pi Sho tile at the top. Mixed in with the vines are tea leaves, elderberries, star anise pods, pink and yellow roses, and jasmine flowers.

A watercolor painting: an orange tabby cat tucked in the cat loaf position in a big red flower pot. She’s surrounded by potted plants and a white lit candle. One of the pots is full of miniature red roses. There are two sun catchers hanging above her. One is a silver sun with a crystal in the middle, casting rainbows on the wall. The other is a bronze pentacle with red beads and bells hanging from it. This is a memorial pet portrait of my cat Mogget. She was a tiny, dainty cat with a huge personality and sense of dignity. She loved sitting in the empty flower pot, because she was the prettiest flower. I must apologize to all the other orange tabby cats & owners out there. When she passed away she took the rest of the brain cells with her.
