Kingfisher Watercolor Illustration
Every Summer for the past few years, I have been lucky enough to spend the majority of my Summer at our family cottage. Staying there for that duration has made me appreciate nature so much more. It’s nice to have those memories come Fall and Winter, and also great painting inspiration for those indoor months ahead.
The Kingfishers are one of my favorite birds to watch. In our cove of the bay, they perch themselves on a little twig, that really barely really seems to hold them up, and then all of a sudden they swoop down and smack into the water with such speed and force for their aquatic meal. It’s an absolutely fantastic show!
Prints are now available in my Etsy shop!
The original illustration is also available please message for more information.
Faygo Cream Soda
I have a new Faygo Cream Soda watercolor illustration to add to my deliciously, delectable soda collection of Faygo illustrations.
If you’ve never heard of Faygo, it’s a Michigan company that’s been around for over 100 years! They have the most delicious soda flavors you will ever pass thru your lips. Yum! Perhaps I’m a little biased, growing up in a suburb of the Detroit Metro Area, where Faygo was all the rage when I was a kid, and still to this day!
Art prints and cards are available in my Etsy shop.
Charcuterie Board Illustration
I’ve been working on this “Charcuterie Board” illustration on and off for several months in between my other projects. I’m so happy it’s completed! This is a digital illustration created in Procreate on my iPad Pro. Prints are now available in my Etsy shop in 11x14” and 13x19” sizes.
Flamingos : Client Project for Papyrus
Last January, I worked on some watercolor flamingos for Papyrus on a gift wrap project. The scope of the work was to have me create just a couple of full flamingo bird illustrations, and then some bird parts so that the Art Director could create multiple birds in different poses for the gift wrap. It was such a fun, colorful project to brighten up my workspace in the midst of winter here in Michigan! I can’t wait to see the gift wrap in person when my artist samples arrive.
