Doodling All Those Years in School Led to This

I used to doodle constantly during class. The edges of my notebook pages were filled with curls, swirls, vines, leaves, flowers and the occasional human character. I'm still a kid at heart so the doodles of the past have turned into the illustrations of the present.

Inspired by Love and Life

Well, today is my four year anniversary with my boyfriend. That's what inspired to draw this. It was done with ink and then digitally colored. Inspiration is all around us. :)

The Evolution of Art

I've decided to take my artwork into the modern age and try my hand at digital color. I'm very pleased with the results. Here's a couple of pictures that I worked on yesterday. Their prints are on sale in my Etsy shop. I hope you enjoy them!

Something Spooky This Way Comes

I started thinking about my next piece of art earlier today and so began doodling. I am always prone to drawing a lot of loops and squiggles for some reason. When I showed them to my boyfriend and asked him if he had any ideas about what I should paint next, he said that the doodle reminded him of Medusa.

So, I whipped up this painting. Don't let her cute exterior fool you though as she can be quite deadly. You can find a print of this painting here on Etsy:

Kitty Love Painting

I'm proud to announce that the first painting in the Stormie and Mel series is now listed in my Etsy shop! I feel like celebrating! It's a mixed media piece that incorporates colored pencil, ink and watercolor. It's vibrant and conveys the love that I have for Stormie, my cat.

I kept glancing over at him as he was sleeping while I was working on this piece and kept trying to remember what my life was before he came into my life. I realize now that it was quite dull.
