Book Fish

Today I’m posting about a watercolor painting that I made as a Christmas gift. The painting was for my husbands Aunt. She is a librarian and her last name is Fish. So it was natural to have the idea of a cute fish reading books in its fish bowl. It was really fun to come up with concept. I really enjoy making home made gifts for people, especially family. The painting is about 5×7 in size and will be perfect for her office or a little reading nook. If you need any custom art or paintings made, shoot me a message! I would love to help!

Cat With Sunnies

Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend. It was hot here in KC over the past couple of days. Just plain hot! I drew this cool cat while my boys were swimming away in the pool. I sketched her out and colored her in using the program Procreate. I really liked the way it was headed but it needed something else. I usually hide my sketch layer, but decided to turn it on over the what I had colored in already. It was exactly what this piece needed. I love the result! This cool cat will make it on to my shops soon! Be on the look out!

Alligator Loves Tulips

It’s Wednesday! That means this week is already half way done. How has everyone’s week been so far? It’s been pretty busy for our fam. It feels like the minute the weather heats up, the busier we get. It feels kind of nice considering the winter we had this year. Here is some more spring art to put some pep in your step or at least make your morning more bearable. This guy was created digitally using Procreate. I wanted him to experience spring to, since most of the time alligators are associated with summer. Who knew alligators would look so good surrounded by tulips! It’s the perfect match in my book. Enjoy!

Cute Spring Cactus

It’s spring break time! And finally the weather around here is feeling like Spring. After my dentist appointment yesterday, I was able to finally get out for a walk and I decided to draw this little guy. He is my gift to you to share my happiness about the weather. He was drawn out digitally using my Procreate App. Enjoy!

Handsome Heart

Hey everyone! It’s definitely a cold one out there today. The weather has been a little nutty and can’t make up its mind. I would love to have the 60 degree weather we had this past weekend here to stay. Here is the cutest heart I recently drew digitally with my iPad. I kinda wanted to make it a little nerdy with glasses. We embrace geeky in our family! This handsome fella is available in my shops. Just click the links in the menu above!

Sweet Sleeping Fox

We have made it to the middle of the week! Congrats everyone! The past couple days here in the Kansas City area the temperature has dropped finally. The mornings are dipping into the 60’s and it feels like just a hint of fall. You bet I’m wearing long sleeves and thinking about fall scents. I’m so ready for fall. It’s my favorite season of the year. Here is a sketch I did recently that I had fall on the brain, but still managed to make it look like summer. This cute sleeping fox is the perfect segway between seasons until I can enjoy fall.

School Bear

Hello everyone! It’s the first full week of school for mostly everyone in the Kansas City area. I thought I would do a cute sketch of a bear for back to school. I drew him out and colored him in using the Procreate app. It’s kind of a different style for me, but none the less I really like the look I achieved using a different brush.

You are my Sunshine

Happy Wednesday! We are at the half way point of the week. Just wanted to share a quick sketch I did while my boys were swimming in the pool. It’s super simple, but I think it will look great as framed wall art and on some other products in my shops. Is there something you would like me to sketch out? Let me know, I’m always looking for new ideas and inspiration for new art.

Rainbow Turtle

Hey everyone! It’s finally the beginning of a new week. Time to start fresh…here’s to hoping it’s a good one! Here’s a cute little turtle that I drew this past weekend. He was starting to look a little drab at first, so I decided to spruce up his shell. I think the rainbow colors definitely helped this little guy out. I used the program Procreate from start to finish creating him. I hope he brightens your day!

F is for Flamingo

Happy Thursday! Here is today’s #tbt Throw back Thursday art for you. This pretty flamingo is made out of watercolor and has some digital elements to help spruce up the background. I love how vibrant Flamingos are. I just saw the cutest video of a baby flamingo walking around and I never knew they were grey and white when they are little…nice little fun fact for you this morning! I have also turned this image into a party invitation. It is available in digital file format in my Etsy shop. Here is the link to my Etsy shop: http://bit.ly/rmcreative
