I tell this to everyone who comes to my table lamenting that they can’t draw. It’s a 100% learnable skill, not some magic ability you’re born with.

Stories in the Park
Submission for Neil Gaiman’s ” A Calendar of Tales” for the month of October. I loved the visual of Hazel and the djinn just sitting around in the park sharing stories, the tale about spying on the angels had to be my favorite. And any excuse to do my stylized smoke is a good one.

Watercolor frame with a song from sesame street done for a family friend. I think I may have gotten a little carried away with the gold and silver gouache stardust though…
I’ve reached a point where having to start a painting over after nearly completing it is met not with anger or despair, but with a methodical determination of ‘Oh look that’s what went wrong, shame I didn’t catch it sooner. Let’s fix that up now shall we?’
I don’t know why but the realization makes me happy.
