In Dreams

In Dreams, 6″x4″ watercolor on paper, $200.
Kitty!
This sleeping feline is floating among the stars, at least in its dreams. The paper glows through a bright white where the cat is outlined, and the sky itself has swirls of black, blue, and violet all through it, showing through stars out into the infinite. Perfect for a nap!

Crescent Moon
Sunday, April 7th, 2024
Crescent Moon, 5″x7″ watercolor and pen & ink on paper, $250.
This little night scene is more my usual thing, though the cypress trees are evergreen and therefore look alive all year long. Their long shadows are subtle against the deep blue-and-purple sky, and there’s even a cat hiding among them to grace us with its presence.
Instead of corvids we have a little trio of batty bats flying past, which you can see in the detail photo.

Tea
Saturday, April 6th, 2024
Tea, 6″x6″ watercolor and tea on paper, $250.
Do you love tea? Because I love tea so much I made a zine about it.
These illustrations made up the bulk of the zine’s pictures, rendered in soft watercolor on a tea-dyed background. There’s green tea and black, loose tea and bags, in a simple celebration of the drink.

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.

Still Death
Thursday, April 4th, 2024
Still Death, 6″x4″ watercolor on paper, $200.
It’s like a still life, but eerie! Little creepy doll fingers poke their shiny green flesh up out of the rust-streaked soil, while the cracked head is helpless to do anything but watch. Bats fly in the on the sulphur winds and
The whole tiny painting is the size of a postcard, perfect to hide in a bookshelf or niche for extra spook points.

Crack of Dawn
Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024
Crack of Dawn, 6″x12″ watercolor on paper, $350.
Yeah, the title is a joke, but I also really love the egg-like glow around our shining light here. Is it the moon? Is it the sun? Who knows! That’s up to you, what you want to see floating up in that deep blue-violet sky among the stars.
This unusually sized painting will be perfect to fill that odd spot on your wall that needs a splash of color.

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.
