A portrait of a dear friend.
Image ID: A dark skinned boy with bright red hair playing a bone flute. He wears a golden circlet with a braid pattern and matching gold bracelets. He has a green shirt with gold stitching on the sleeve ends and the collar. The stitches make x’s. A goldfinch covers his eyes. Two more fly around him. A full moon casts purple light in the background. A scattering of stars surround the moon. The sky transitions to purple at the top of the canvas to gold at the bottom.

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.

Another boyfriend requested sea slug. He is shaped like a friend.
Image Id: A side view of a cream sea slug with orange antennae and spots. It has three round feet and several wavy thick tendrils on its butt. The background is a desaturated mint green.

Another day, another red riding hood concept. This time in playing card form. Love the queen card.

New style experiment. Dragon fruits look so very very strange.
Image ID: Pink dragonfruit with spiky green leaves. The bottom has shriveled purple petals. The background is plain, pale yellow.
