New ACEO - Shinrin Yoku

Shinrin Yoku means "forest bathing" and is the act of getting into nature and experiencing the forest for the benefit of your body, mind and soul. You can almost experience the breath of fresh air kitty here is enjoying! I hope this painting gives you a sense of calm and enjoyment.

Rockabilly Pinup WIP

Here's a lovely lady I'm painting for an art challenge - the theme is pinup/rockabilly/tattoo. As you can see I'm working all three themes into the painting! (the flower pasties were added digitally because I posted this to Facebook and Instagram and they don't allow nudity. I'll post an uncensored picture when I'm done.)

Tabby Rainbow Bridge ACEO commission

Here's an ACEO commission I'm working on, a nice blend between my more humorous work and realistic. Sorry for the fuzzy picture, it was taken with my ipod. I don't usually tape the edges of my ACEOs, but the person I'm painting this for wants the option of being able to frame it so I'll leave a 1/4 edge unpainted around the sides.

Fairy Wing Tutorial

Coming soon - a tutorial for my method of painting fairy wings. The method is fairly simple yet the results are impressive, and you can personalize them is so many different ways!

New ACEO - Easter Bunny Fairies!

Just listed these cute bunnies on ebay. I really tried to push the colors on this one and make them pop. The scan is a bit washed out but I took a photo with my phone to show off the gold and the colors look more true to life in that.

New ACEO - out of their element!

Here's a cute painting of a little mercat with a friend perched on his head. I love painting shells and water! I wanted the octopus to look cute without looking too goofy, and I think I accomplished that!
Just posted in my Etsy store - take a look!

  

I also have this teacup kitty ACEO up:

Boy, did this turn out gorgeous. The mums I drew from life - I received a tiny potted mum on Mother's day and planted it out in the garden.
