Will You Buy His Wears? He Promises He Knows What They All Do!

A cartoon green frog with brown spots and a paler green underbelly sits behind a gray stone wall with his front feet on it. His eyes are large and yellow and he is wearing a purple witch hat and cape tied with a lavender ribbon. There are two potions to other side of him on the table. The left is pale blue and glowing, the right is a dark bubbling purple. Three potions are hung from a brown vine above him, pink then orange then pink again. On both sides of the potions are glass orange spheres filled with fireflies with vines twined around them to attach them to the hanging vine. Behind the frog, a pale blue moon hangs in the purple sky. Yellow fireflies flit around the booth.

Will you buy his wears? He promises he knows what they all do!

Older piece (fall 2019) but never posted it and still like it a lot.

A long-haired woman in a dress stands backlit by a yellow moon. She grips the neck of an eastern bluebird in her mouth, and her lips are as red as its blood that trickles out of the corner of her mouth. Her eyes are dark blue and neutral beneath red eyebrows. Her long hair billows out behind her and goes from red at the ends to purple to dark blue. Her dress's chest is bright orange like a blue birds' then shifts to red then purple then dark blue at the waist. The dress's arms are light blue like blue bird feathers at the top and then transition to dark blue. The crescent moon hangs with the dark part down towards her head and stays behind her like a halo. The sky is yellow around her waist, pink near the bottom of her chest, and then finally dark purple. Small lavender stars are scattered across it. Black raspberries are suspended from green vines with mauve thorns that frame the scene. The bottom of the frame is green serrated leaves. Two bluebirds fly on either side of the front of the bird eater.

Experiment with a circular canvas. Birds are still hard to draw and yet so so satisfying.

A skeletal hand lies in a trail of blood, reaching towards a kneeling young woman in a red cape trimmed with gray wolf fur and buttoned with a canine tooth. It conceals her shoulders, but where her hands should be are gray, wolf paws resting on her long gray skirt. She wears a black shirt and brown belt. Her head is bowed beneath her hood and her black , jagged hair covers her eyes. Blood drips from an impassive mouth. A pink crescent moon hangs above her in a dark blue sky filled with stars. She kneels in a gap between two rows of pines. The ground is snowy. In the upper left and lower right, there's a capital A that looks like it's made of scratch marks. In the upper right and lower left, there's a pink geometric heart with four bloody claw slashes though it. This is an ace card, and overlaid over the image is a pattern mesh of white diamonds to make it look cheaply printed.

Another red riding hood card, this time the ace. Featuring murder, a cornerstone of any good fairy tale. My, what big hands she has.

A water color snail. They are a Cuban painted snail. Their name is Sheldrake. Might make some snails for sale if they become popular.

Image Id: A snail on a light, warm gray background. The snail’s head has two gray eyestalks and one small gray tentacles. The head is red on top, orange in the middle, and yellow on the bottom. The center of the spiral is white. As it moves out it becomes yellow, then green, then white again. Then it shifts to dark brown, to brown and orange and finally to red and yellow.

Back to the Isles....

Image Id: Luz Noceda in her end season 2 outfit holding Owlbert in staff form. She looks up and to the side with a determined but nervous expression. Owlbert’s head is pointed in the direction of her gaze. The ground is dark and cracked.
