I just decided to browse through my blog post drafts, and I realized I never posted this! This mini painting was the second one I finished, but I wanted to save it until Kristen got it in the mail (I sent it along with her drawing.) since I wanted it to be a surprise! I…

I painted this little guy as a gift for my father-in-law, sincee collects beaver things. A few years ago I made him a sculpture. I wonder if I still have pictures of that…

I got my soon-to-be-sister-in-law Kim in my family’s Secret Santa drawing this year, so I did a painting of her and my brother. They’re so cute.

I had my first watercolor commission last week! Or was it the week before last.. I lose track of these things. Either way, it’s in the mail now! This painting was done for my friend Lia. Thanks for letting me paint you and your brother, I hope your mom LOVES it.

I started this painting a couple of weeks ago and just got a chance to finish it up yesterday. This one was inspired by this post on Craftiness Is Not Optional. Seriously, how cute is Miss C’s little face? I was having a bit of trouble inking this one, I think it might be time…

After painting Rachel and another brunette (I’ll be sharing her soon!), I wanted to paint someone with more… colorful hair. And whose hair is more colorful than Kaylah from The Dainty Squid? She was fun to paint because her hair is so bright and her outfits are always so much fun. I love her style,…

I’ve been having quite a bit of fun with watercolor lately. Last week I wanted to try something new, and then Rachel posted this super cute picture on Instagram, and it was just the motivation I needed. This painting is absolutely tiny, it’s ATC sized (2.5×3.5) and done with watercolor and pen. I love reading…

Last week I bought some 5×7 matte boards at the dollar store, and it turns out they work great for tiny watercolor experiments! And three for a dollar? Score! I made these while I was waiting for Juniper’s silhouette to dry. I was trying to master my “space” technique. Dark colors are hard! These are…
