Congrats on 14K, Aimee! 🎉 Thanks for the art share! 💚

Watercolor painting of a dark, murky green mermaid peering up from the depths through a scattering of 3 dimensional gilt-edged waterlilies, floated above the surface of the painting.

3 dimensional, hand cut, multi-layered watercolor painting featuring a humpback whale, with a tiny mermaid friend, breaching through puffy, cotton candy-colored clouds. Beyond the clouds, the Milky Way ribbons across the sky.

Watercolor painting of a large, curling, twisting viper made of tree roots and tree bark skin. Along the twists and turns of the snake body are patches of vibrant green moss, dotted with tiny pink flowers. The snakes eyes are a milky green, staring out at the viewer. This is the Year of the Wood Snake.

Watercolor painting of a long haired, young woman, outlined in ink. A golden arrow passes through her body, piercing her heart on its way out. Behind her, where the arrow pierces her back, is a large blooming pool of deep red watercolor.

The NASA planetary science fleet chart if the president’s budget is enacted.

The NASA planetary science fleet chart. It shows two spirals with missions to Moon/Mars and the Solar System. I’ve crossed off all of the missions that will be cancelled in the president’s budget… and there are a lot of them.

Random request time! My sister is convinced Sir David Attenborough did a documentary on fantasy creatures (like SW or D&D, not the 1975 “Fabulous Animals,” something more recent,) but we’ve had no luck finding anything. Did she fever dream this?

Art is process. Process IS art. It doesn’t matter if I fail, or suck, it only matters that I make the thing.

MerMay day 26. Not going to lie, this one might be my favorite so far. This is, by far, the best cadaver I’ve ever painted. 😅 #mermay #siren #darkart

Watercolor painting of a possessive siren, painted in shades of green and black, curled over the supine body of a dead sailor.

MerMay day 19…. For the #bioluminescent prompt. 11”x17” She needs a pass of glow in the dark paint, but later when I have more time & I’m not wiped out from painting 11”x14” or bigger full watercolors every single day for a month. I could have a solo gallery show. 😅 #watercolor #jellyfish #mermay

QRT with your #workspace / #artspace One of these days, I will do a massive purge and actually get this space more streamlined… that day is not today. 😅

MerMay day 17…. I rather like the off-center set of this composition and the more graphic design nature of this one, even if it is a departure for me. #mermay #watercolor

Watercolor painting of a shark mermaid moving through the water near an undersea rock formation, a shark follows just beneath her. There is coral on the rock formation and other sea life floating in the open space composition.

#mermay day 5. Wish I had paper big enough to do this the way I want (10”x28”ish.) Also, need to go back to painting these as studies instead of finished painting. 12”x16” in 4 hours is too damn stressful. #mermay #watercolor #artnouveau
