The Rainbow Sunset

Ocean Sunset painting made for some of my family members for Christmas. It's done in watercolor and the flowers are drawn with pens. I had sooooo much fun with this painting and had never known how much I love colorful landscapes. I'll certainly be painting more like this in the future!

Foamy Beach

Beach painting for my Grandmother for Christmas. Painted in watercolor with white ink for the foam. It was pretty difficult to paint since water is strangely hard to paint, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Wild Chess

Watercolor painting for my brother for Christmas. He requested a painting of chess and because he likes plants I decided to make all the pieces into plants. I love the swampy feel of the painting and overall I am quite happy with it.

Sir Salt and Lord Flop

Watercolor painting of my dad's pet fish and snail. The fish is a molly named Salt and the snail is named Flop. I tried to imitate classic portraits which was certainly quite fun considering the silly subject.

A Daily Swim

Watercolor painting of a mermaid swimming in the ocean. I painted this for my mom for Christmas and it was certainly quite a challenge with how difficult it is to paint water from underneath, but I learned quite a bit and am decently happy with the final product. If anyone has any tips on painting water I'd greatly appreciate them!

The Honeybee and the Flower

Acrylic and watercolor painting I made of a bee and a flower. The painting was made for the National Art Honors Society chapter I am a part of. Our group put together a prompt for each of our paintings that they must all 1. Be focused on nature, 2. Contain something green, and 3. Contain no man-made objects. With those restraints I put together this painting! It is actually my second following this prompt as the first was: https://at.tumblr.com/jewells-and-shadows/wolf-in-the-forest-watercolor-painting-didnt/qo7je2frs7r7

Starlight Lion

Watercolor and ink painting of a lion essentially made of space. It took me about 17.5 hours to paint and was very challenging and fun!

Sharpie Drawings

A group of random drawings and doodles from while I was at school. They're made in sharpie and most were based roughly off of nightmares that I've had.

A Cat in Flowers

Drawings in sharpie and colored pencil with a watercolor background. I just love how goofy the cat is. His name is Spooky Emmanuel, Spookem for short.

Watercolor practice paintings. Focusing mainly on utilizing water in order to achieve depth.

A watercolor painting I made a couple days ago called Mischievous Monkeys. Soon I'll be opening commissions of small animal paintings like this so if you'll be interested in those look out for when I open commissions!
