Oh Worm?

A red velvet worm with black antennae and black spots on a green background textured to look like wood. It's many legs are little round numbs.

Oh worm?

I just love velvet worms; they're such delightful little web-slingers.

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.

Fun background experiment. Featuring spooky floating city.

Image Id: A woman with shoulder length black hair wearing a cream sundress with green ribbon waste band stands in a field of green grass. She has a cream hat with a green ribbon band. She holds the hats brim and looks up at a floating city. The bottom is made of three rings with blue fires on the bottom that get larger as they go up toward the city. The city is made of different sized towers covered with ivy with rounded or pointed tops. There’s a central tower with three rings around. Its top is an observatory dome. The city is purple, silver, and gray. Wispy clouds surround it.

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 queen playing card divided in half by a diagonal black line. that ends just a little above the bottom left corner and just a little to the left of the top right corner. The bottom fourth of the page is a field of snow, and above it is a dark blue sky with scattered white stars. The middle third of the canvas is covered with geometric pine trees textured with darker green lines. Near the right edge on the midline on the painting is a pink crescent moon. The bottom right is dominated by the front half of running gray wolf with a diamond red eye, sharp white teeth, and a lolling red tongue. The top left is dominated by a running woman with short black hair that frames her face and covers her eyes. Her mouth is a straight line. Her back arm and leg are hidden. Her gray skirt hikes above her raised knee. She wears black leggings, a red-brown belt and a black, long sleeved shirt. Her front elbow is bent and her arm is raised. The bicep bears a white triangular pauldron with a red brown strap. Her hand is bared despite the cold. A red hood covers her ears and the cape billows out behind her. It is trimmed with gray wolf fur and bound with a white tooth secured with black strap. In the upper left and bottom right corner, there is a capital Q shaped like a diamond and made of scratches. In the upper right and lower left there is a geometric heart with four red scratch marks through it.

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