The wayward wolf. A creature who is always difficult to predict, wild, and defiant 🐺 Beware the moonlit depths of the forest lest this beast take you #art #drawing #wolf #wolfart #animalart #graphite #pencildrawing #watercolor

A piece of art made on a slice of basswood being held up by a hand in front of a background of live vines, leaves, and plants. The artwork depicts a wolf with white branches growing out of its back, mushrooms on its legs, and flowers in its tail. The background is painted black, and the wolf is drawn with graphite, giving it a soft texture. Where the wolf steps, there is an explosion of leaves and grass. Framing the wolf are white branches and beautifully drawn green leaves. The wolf's pose and shape is oval-like to mimic the shape of the wood piece that its drawn on.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Spring is on the way, so here's something blooming 🌷 I've been slowly getting into surface pattern design, and this is something I'd love to see on products like wallpaper & more! What do you think? #art #artists #patterndesign #patterns #flowers #Procreate #Procreateillustration #digitaldrawing

Flower design drawn digitally, with lovely bright spring colors. The design has a darker green background which allows the flower colors to really pop. The flowers and leaves are drawn in a playful, quick style with some of the shapes being more abstract or suggestive of flower shapes. For the flower colors, they are soft pink colors, various yellows (golden and light) with soft oranges, and the blues are a cornflower blue as well as a lighter powder blue. A creamy white color for the flowers as well. The flowers resemble coneflowers, tulips, and anemones

I made this painting using hand-crafted watercolors by my sweet friend. She used all natural ingredients for the paint and asked me to "test" paint something with them. I am truly astounded by the beautiful colors🦩🌿 #art #painting #watercolor #artists #wildflowers #flowers

Watercolor painting of various wildflowers, leaves, and plants. Earthy green tones and deep navy blue tones for the leaves and plants. There are bigger, light pink blooms as the main focus of the painting. Throughout the painting, there are smaller brownish-orange flowers and little navy flowers

The snow is coming down all day today (we might get 12+ inches!) and I love the bright contrast the male cardinals have against the snow. I hope this little birdie brings you a moment of calm ❤️ #art #painting #birds #cardinals #watercolor #artist #artwork

Watercolor painting of a vibrant red male cardinal bird. Full body of bird is shown perched on a branch. There are holly leaves and red berries around the bird, as well as other small branches and leaves that frame the bird. The bird is painted realistically, with more abstract red paint splatters around the bird.

"Dusk Meadow" When I painted this a few winters ago, I was thinking about how so many little things continue to grow despite the frigid, brutal winter. Feels relevant in today's bleak landscape. We can continue to be beautiful & rise again, stronger together ✨️ #art #painting #watercolor #flowers

A watercolor painting of various flowers, leaves, and small plants. The colors are soft, sage greens, light browns, rusty reds, deep navy blues, rich dark magenta, and a little purpleish-blue. There is a softer underside of leaves that look faint and beautiful under the brighter and more prominent blooms
