Also I recently started this painting of a Bulgarian Emerald, but then I got sick and it got paused - but I’m planning to finish it this week!

I finished this painting of a betic midwife toad last night and feel pretty chuffed! I love discovering interesting species and seeing people discover things they may have never heard of before! ☺️🐸 #frogs #toads #miniatureart #watercolours #tinyart #natureart #animalart

I’m bad at all this social media stuff, but if you want some background on my little miniature project, this is my cat Calliope - she was a very sickly lady who was the sweetest natured girl. I gave her the best life I possibly could with oodles of love & she’s forever the inspiration for my art 🩵

My cat would like to know if you have any games on your phone

This week I decided to redo one of my paintings from all the way back in 2017! I’ve once swam beside basking sharks, so they have such a special place in my heart 🥹 #baskingshark #shark #watercolours #painting #animalart

Currently in a beautiful castle painting the strangest little seahorse! They’re about the size of a fingernail in real life, will post a painting when it’s finished! ☺️ #seahorse #painting

Hello Bluesky, I’ve been feeling slightly vulnerable with art lately, I’m determined to follow my passions of painting but struggling to exist in a sea of wonderfully talented people & a little lost where to go. Here is my tiny painting of a lovely fruitcrow though, I hope you like it 🩵 #birds #art

I know spiders aren’t the most popular things, but I recently discovered the existence of the ‘alien butt spider’ and honestly - as a pre-existing spider fan, I fell in love with painting this little friend! #spider #watercolours #tinyart

By the way, I should introduce any of you who follow me here to my cat Lyra. (You will see a lot of her)

I love painting insects. Insects just do their own thing, blissfully unaware of the intricacies of humanity. Their world is a quiet one that is beautiful to observe.

Painting of 36 different insects on a cream background.

Are there any Pokémon Go players over here on BlueSky? I’m attempting to get perfect stats of every Vivillon and it’s proving tricky 😅 Still searching for friends in Icy Snow, Archipelago, High Plains, Ocean, Modern, Tundra, Sandstorm & Monsoon 🤓

It’s hard to know where to begin with a ‘new app’ but if anyone ever reads this, I paint tiny little watercolours of animals. Here’s a few bits of art I feel kind of proud of. Hopefully I’ll feel motivated enough soon to create more 💜
