Hey! After 5 months without posting here, I'm giving another shot to this platform. If you are out there and want to see more of my art (and what I've been up to these past months) please give me some thumbs up! Heh! "Puppet Vine" - Watercolor, pencils and gouache.

Lightbearers, watercolors and ink on paper 29x32cm

Not really sure how to name this one yet. Any suggestions? It was a fun experiment where I tried pushing my pencils and watercolors much more than I usually do, before laying my ink lines. The result is a bit darker than intended, and my values got a bit messed up, but I learned a lot with this one.

Experimenting a bit today, trying to keep my ink lines aside and going just with watercolors (and my pencil underdrawing!)

Curvy little town. I don't know why but I still like so much of this piece, which was simply done as an IG challange a couple of years ago.

My IPhone photo of Flaco, the NYC EAGLE owl who escaped from the zoo. I am having this scanned (I don’t have a scanner…) so hopefully the new scans will show all of the subtle color and detail. This painting is my tribute to our dearly departed boy, who ate some rats tainted with rodenticide 😭

Doing some dip pen illustrations for my Patrons!

This one is really old but I still like it. "Calling of the Fairy Master" . I may repaint a newer version of this. What do you think?
