Monk

Monk, 7″x5″ pen & ink and Copic marker on paper, sold
First off, I will not be doing these regularly, they stress me out, man. But, this person asked very sweetly and I’m a sucker, and was patient with my anxiety delays, lol, so they got their doggo. Just, you know, to be clear, not becoming a pet portraitist.
Monk is a big shaggy good boy, black with the dignified white of old age on his muzzle, chest, and paws. They sent me a bunch of reference photos and we decided on a pose and then they took another, even better photo to help me get everything right on the final product.
This was always meant to be a bit cartoonish, so I kept to Copic markers for the colors, which give it that nice warm grey on his body and cool grey on his silver parts. I scanned the inks before I colored anything just in case, but fortunately they are very happy with their old man as is.
Also, full credit to Danielle Corsetto’s current spate of pet portraits for demonstrating how to color a black dog that isn’t just a blob of darkness. She’s great, we had her draw our Lenin & Gramsci for a Christmas present for Dr. Dan.

Harvest Moon 7

Harvest Moon 7, 8″x8″ mixed media on paper, sold
I painted this in 2024 and apparently never posted it to the site! Some darling person bought Harvest Moon 5, which then got lost in the move to NY, and I promised her I would (eventually) paint a replacement.
This one’s different but, I think, absolutely gorgeous, with the acrylic ink texture in the moon and acrylic paint mixed with watercolor to give the sky a tumultuous texture. There’s only one crane this time but I think it makes a really nice contrast to the moon and sky all by itself, and my buyer agreed.
The mix of media really makes it shine, and makes me want to get my acrylics back out — but first I have to clean the table of detritus, because acrylics are a lot messier than watercolor.

Debris Field

Debris Field, 7″x5″ watercolor on paper
This abstract watercolor painting is loosely part of a series I’m calling Formations, although it doesn’t follow the naming convention.
The red and metallic gold seem like they’d make a striking contrast, but it’s only when the light hits that you really see the outlined field of brush-strewn droplets as separate and discrete. I have my own absolutely dorky interpretation of this art, but you’re free to see whatever it is that makes you happy in the shapes.
