Last Sunday I took part in a fundraiser event for Grenada's animal shelter, where I offered custom mini pet portraits, and sold handmade bandanas. 🐶 #fundraiser #petportraits #animalshelter

Me and my market table with items such as pet bandanas, prints, stickers.

Mini watercolour paintings of different cats and dogs

Our market set up, a big table with all the art & bandanas, under a tent and in a beautiful location with green grass and tall wonderful coconut trees.

It's been a while since I've shared here. It's almost the end of 2025 and it has definitely been a year full of pet portrait commissions, here is a sample of some watercolour and acrylic paintings. I just love, love painting furry companions 😍🐶🐱 #petportraits #art #dogs #traditional

Happy Sunday! I'm getting back into graphite drawing, trying to find time for a little practice. Got inspired to start back with graphite from Andrew Tishler, an amazing artist! He started something called #Sketchendeavour to dedicate some time every day to master your art.

I've been fostering a puppy for the weekend. She is honestly the sweetest, very quiet and loving. I had to sketch her while she sleeps. A reminder to adopt instead of buying 💝 #sketchbook #dog #puppy #adopt #ink #pen #loving

Caribbean Coral Reef Fish. I've done a few digital edits to bring back the vibrant colours. Can't decide which one of the options I like better... (Left) No background or (right) with a soft coral reef background? Maybe it's a bit distracting? I accept any feedback 😊 #fish #caribbean #art

Watercolour illustration of different species of caribbean coral fish.
On the left side the background is plain white, on the right illustration, there is a soft blue coral reef as background.

Can you recognize this memorable person? It is a quick gouache portrait, not much planning went into it, so it could definitely be improved. Nonetheless, it is a great portrait practice. #gouache #art #portrait #documentary #attenborough #animals

This is the final set of illustrations I made to study my dog's anatomy. This time when she was sleeping. I am considering doing more of these, maybe with different dog breeds?
