I'm resting. I didn't know what to do when I'm not working. So I decided to paint and have Hue supervise my work. For fun! Does it count as work if I'm doing it for fun?

A photograph of an art desk taken at a sideways angle. In the foreground, an open marker pouche holds a large collection of markers laid out in rows. A colour swatch chart, an in-progress sketch, and a tablet displaying cat reference photos (including a black cat) are spread across the desk. A striped bowl holds water for the cat to drink, and a desk lamp is lit. A large grid window fills the background, letting in bright daylight. Perched up high near the window on a cat bed or shelf, a grey torbie cat looks directly down at the desk with an expression of calm supervisory judgment.

Got commissioned to do a tiny pet portrait. It's 4" x 4" small. Painted with Acrylic Paint Markers. I had a lot of fun working on this one. But also some stress because someone was paying me to do this. I originally just wanted to practice. #art #catart #animalportrait

A small acrylic marker painting on canvas of a cat in close-up frontal portrait, staring directly at the viewer. The cat has striking bright green eyes, a brown and dark tabby-marked face with a white muzzle and long white whiskers, and pale cream-white chest fur that fills the lower portion of the canvas. The ears are large and upright with warm reddish-brown colouring. The background is the same soft pale blue as the peregrine painting. The canvas texture is visible throughout. The painting sits propped on a wooden surface.

I have a booth in July and was thinking of doing animal portaits on the spot. So I was testing acrylic markers on canvas and how long it would take for me to draw an animal. I got so engrossed in it, I forgot to time myself. This is a Peregrine Falcon. #birdart #animalart #art 🎨

Thank you! That means a lot! I was referring to the flowers with the not great part. Haha. I aim to be able to master the pallete knife!!

I finally finished painting Hue! I procrastinated for a long time because I didn't know how to do the bottom bit. But then I took an Acrylic painting class to learn how to use the pallete knife. It's not great. But hey, I'll get better at wielding the knife. #catportrait #art #animalart

An expressive, traditional acrylic painting of a domestic cat, captured on a canvas displayed on a paint-splattered wooden easel. The cat is rendered with visible, textured brushstrokes in shades of gray, white, and subtle warm-toned browns. Its striking, luminous yellow-green eyes look directly forward. The cat is positioned emerging from a lush, dense bed of blue, cobalt, and cyan flowers with yellow centers, which fill the lower third of the canvas. The background is a fluid, painted wash that transitions from warm oranges and yellows behind the cat’s head into cool, greenish-blues, creating a vibrant color contrast that isolates the subject.

More acrylic paint marker drawings! Sketches? Art? Maybe. It's just the view out my window when I look up from my table. Just trees. Not too happy with it, but I thought to just put it up anyway to see my progress over time. #sketchbook #art #acrylicpaintmarker

A sketchbook page showing a marker painting of large trees viewed from below, looking up into a dense canopy. The foliage is rendered in multiple shades of green, bright lime, deep forest green, teal, with brown branches weaving through. The central trunk is pale grey-white. Handwritten notes on the page read "markers. I can't not use them." at the top, and "Trees by my window, 15 march 2026" to the right.

Emotional support chickens! I made this as a present! I didn't model the chickens. I bought cheap toys. I shaved and painted over them to make them more accurate. The cards contain encouraging chicken messages. I plan to get my sister's kids to write in the cards too. #diorama #animalart

I have a problem. I didn't realise I had this many acrylic paint markers until I put them all together in a bag. I have a hundred markers. Oh no I'm hoarding.

I've been teaching art for quite a fair bit recently, and I constantly have to learn new things. For this one to one lesson, the kid uses poster colour to paint, so I decided to learn how to use poster colours so I could guide him further with it. #birdart #kingfisher #painting

A poster colour painting in progress of a White-throated Kingfisher, perched on a grey concrete post with its beak open. The bird has a chestnut-brown head and body, white throat and chest, and blue wing feathers. It is painted against a loose, soft green rectangular background on white paper. Surrounding the artwork are Pentel poster colour jars in a plastic tray and a paint-mixed palette with blue and green paints.

Quote with your 💜purple art💜

An anthropomorphic fox is walking in the middle of a purple forest. It has berries in its left arm and is looking up at one berry in his right hand.

The fox is wearing a light green shirt and slightly darker green pants but has a purple/maroon vest on. It is also wearing a green hat.

The forest is purple with bushes with berries on them.

Happy New Year Everyone! It has been a few tough years, but 2025 was the most eventful. I developed chronic pain about 3 years ago and have been on a journey to learn how to handle it. I also had ADHD burnout. Being diagnosed with ADHD late in life was wild. But 2026 will be the year I rebuild!

I didn't know Pangolins could swim. Honestly, I think they swim better than I do. But that's a very low bar. I thought myself how to swim as an adult. So I swim funny. #animalart #natureart #art

A close up of a lake or river with mainly water in the middle. There's foreground leaves and background bushes and a hint of a tree.

This is a shark. I have no actual shark facts other than me not realising sharks have scales too. #animalart #natureart #art #shark

It's a shark with a dark top with a white belly in water, which is just a gradient green to blue background. It's only the front half of the shark from side view. There are white dots in the water to represent bubbles.

The shark looks like it's side eyeing you.

This is a Javan Green Magpie juvenile. They are first blue and eventually turn green as they get older. It's in a basket because it's in conservation. Wild ones have much better nests. #animalart #natureart #art #bird

The picture has quite bright colours. There is a blue bird sitting in a brown wicker basket that has been nestled between some branches.

The blue bird has a reddish beak and a black stripe at the eye area. It also has hints of black at its wing.

Hey look. It's a human! I rarely draw people. But when I do, they're indigenous people working hard to keep a majestic and murderous bird alive. I really do need more practice with people. But I just want to draw animals over and over. Did I mention the book? #illustration #art #bookillustration

Another illustration from my upcoming book! The Phillipines Eagle is critically endangered and is considered the largest eagle in the world. It didn't occur to me how scary they are until I saw a picture of one flying with a full grown monkey in its talons. #illustration #animalillustration #art

It is a portrait of a majestic bird standing tall. The background is just the gate you would find in a conservation area.

The bird has a white chest and dark brown feathers. It's too feathers that usually stand up are now slicked down. It has a big dark beak.

Turtles are best! This is a Roti Snake Necked Turtle. It's neck is looooong. It can't even hide it's head in its shell. This illustration is part of the Endangered Animals facts book I drew. It will launch soon! #art #animalart #nature

It's a coloured image of a brown turtle with a more black head swimming through a river filled with water lillies.

The turtle is big and right in front of us. Inbetween the water lillies . The faraway background is just a plain solid green and light green colour. With a forest silhouette.

I need time to meet my quota and told Hue to wake me up at 7am as part of her morning protocol. I expected her to meow at me or paw at my face. Instead, I got a loud tune blasting from a random radio. Where did she find that radio and how did she get this tune? youtu.be/enYdAxVcNZA?... #art #cat

I've not posted on a while because life got busy. I got a full time job as an art director for a while, but my health got in the way so I had to leave. I'm now working on an animal book and the deadline is quite tight. So I hope things go okay!
