Back at it today after a 3 month break from pastels! Nothing like a close up coyote for inspiration. Mammals will always be my favorite, it can’t be helped.

Happy New Year to all!! This has been a pretty fun and productive year with my art! I designed my website, attended an art show and produced a lot of work! I’ve been in kind of a funk lately, trying to decide on a different direction. This year I’m planning on delving into learning watercolor, but I will continue to do some soft pastels as well. I’m in search of some new inspiration! I hope you all have a lovely 2026!!!

8 hrs in with this sea turtle Jason Morgan tutorial 😳. I will always need to learn more and his tutorials are great. Next it’s the water and then final highlights, shadows and touch ups.

Trust yourself, trust the process! I tell myself over and over when I’m working on my art. Here’s one I’m working on of my kitty, Dennis when he was a bit younger 😀

A little sketch I whipped up at work today with a mechanical pencil on printer paper 😆. Not as high quality but still fun. Gotta get in the practice when/where you can!
