Blue-Green 1
Friday, April 5th, 2024
Blue-Green 1, 4″x8″ watercolor on paper, $250.
I was having a lot of Rothko feelings when I painted this, and I love it.
The deep deep blue and mineral green are filled with texture and detail that belies their tiny size. The various shades that make up the blue are especially prone to catching the light and showing you something new every time you look.

Sowing
Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024
Sowing, 7″x5″ watercolor on paper, $250.
This abstract has echoes of my old, old planetary paintings, but it’s also got the same mood as my Growth series, just from the other side — all those sent-away seeds are finding a place on the blood-red planet just waiting to be sown.
The painting is on a thick, deliciously textured handmade paper to add amazing detail, and the seed-stars shine with a subtle green.

November 2023 Patreon Sketches
Monday, March 18th, 2024
We’re catching up! Since patron sketches get done the month after requests, December’s the last of this batch (though January will be ready before these are all posted, lol).
As requested! 😻 There’s two sets, watercolor & ink/marker, so please enjoy both.
- Jo asked for “something banishing winter gloom with light”
- Jeff asked for “time shift” and this winter winds blowing the autumn away is the second try (sold)
- Rebecca W asked for “giant Lapis tiny Lenin” since it often looks that way in pics
- Rebecca S asked for honeybees! (sold)
- This was the first try at “time shift” for Jeff, but somehow the ‘Murica overwhelmed the Doppler reference.
- Next comes my wee monster Andy and “ew mouthpets!” for SaraBeth (sold)
- Eric wanted “Loth cat Ezra” and got Ezra as a Loth cat, because why not? (sold)
- Corinne asked, “Is Mikey CAKE?”
- And finally, Amy B asked for a Christmas vampire and got this charming, trustworthy fellow (sold)

y’all asked for a LOT of cards the month before I went and got covid, dang! I’m late but not outside of September, so I’m going to consider it a win. There’s quite a range of styles this time, because I tended to get 2 done and then have to fuck off and do something else, lol. Enjoy!

- Eric wanted cookies & cream and got ghost Oreos (sold)
- Amber asked for the 1st day of school (sold)
- SaraBeth asked for autumn vibes
- JoVE asked for “ready for summer but it’s raining” (sold)

- Nick asked for a peony and got two (both sold)
- Rey asked for patience, and gets this dramatic bit of word art (sold)
