Need some Maryland themed art for your walls? ❤️🖤💛
So far I’ve made four of these. Each one is slightly different. Stamped with ink plus some watercolor accent. I’ll post them to my Etsy shop soonish. .

Thanks to all who voted in my stories! Although the final count ended up being pretty closely split between clean vs blended edges 😑

It mostly worked. I might play with it a little more 😬

A bit out of my element attempting to carve a stamp. For all you non-Marylanders, it’s our state flag.
Not perfect but not terrible 🤷‍♀️ There’s actually an idea behind this but not sure I’ll be able to pull it off. If you never see this stamp again it’s because I was not able to execute my vision 😆 .

Happy Earth Day! 🌎
One of my earliest watercolor paintings. Also still one of my favorites 😍

Happy Easter weekend!
Two years ago I painted a very similar version of this but I decided to give it another go. It’s meant to be a literal depiction of the Lent/Easter season- from the ashes at the start of Lent to the rebirth on Easter 🐣 .

Back to portrait practice. Head 21/100. This one is a random picture from #pexels but I feel like he has such a familiar looking face!

Since March is about over I thought I’d share a roundup of my portraits for the #portraitchallenge_2019 . I of course didn’t complete 8 portraits but I think I did hit all 8 prompts in some fashion 👏 I’m looking forward to taking a break from portraits for a bit now haha .

If you’re interested a couple of these are available in my Etsy shop. .

Here’s my last #portraitchallenge_2019 painting. I was also trying to get into the Game of Thrones spirit. So I chose Emília Clarke for the #actor prompt (as Daenerys Targaryen of course!) Not very happy with how this turned out though. Her face is too long. Classic mistake 🙁
