Glowing Stingrays

Thank goodness it’s the weekend! It’s been a really busy week with it being the last week of school. We have also been getting some crazy weather here in the Kansas City area. With all the flash flood warnings and tornado warnings, we have had so much rain. These guys only seem fitting since it feels like they could be swimming in my basement or backyard any moment…lol! Since our trip recently, I’m still in the ocean mode. They were drawn and colored in using my Procreate app. I love how the lighter watercolor effect glows on the dark teal. It turned out really cool. Enjoy!

Mermaid May

Hey everyone! It’s May and that means it time for Mer-May. Which means everyone likes to post art and projects that have to do with mermaids. I have always loved mermaids since I was little. My favorite movie in the 1st grade was The Little Mermaid. I watched it at least a 1,000 times and had Arial t-shirts and dolls. I was obsessed to say the least. So, I drew this piece just for the occasion. I originally drew her out in my sketchbook and then colored her in digitally using my Procreate app. I really like how she turned out. She has a pretty peaceful vibe. Definitely what I’m needing to finish off this week. Enjoy!

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!

Purple Jellyfish

Soooo….am I the only one over this years winter yet? We have yet another snow day today! This has been the most snow days in one year in my entire existence in Kansas City. I’m ready for it to be spring! I want to see the sun, the grass (even though it’s brown) and beginnings of flowers growing. But until then, I will just keep posting cute and non cold related artwork…lol! Here is a cute jelly fish I created yesterday while my youngest was in preschool. It was drawn digitally using Procreate. I like how cute it turned out, but still feels moody. Do you think this guy is adorable, too? He’s available as an art print that is a digital download in my Etsy shop and on an array of products in my Society6 shop. Just use the links above on the menu. Have a great day! Enjoy!

Birthday Cat

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday! Today we have our 100th snow day already this winter (…lol) and it’s my youngest son’s 4th birthday. It’s so crazy he is 4! He is such a silly, adventurous and fearless (most of the time) boy. He is completely opposite of his older brother, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t wait to see what the next year brings for him. Even though we have a dog, he loves cats. So I thought I would create a piece that involved a cat just for him celebrating his birthday. I drew this piece digitally using the Procreate app on my iPad. Enjoy! Happy Birthday little man!
