Please swipe! . . . Question of the day: What food sounds really good right now? For me, that's slow cooked spaghetti. . . . yesterday morning, I did a drawing of one of John Singer Sargent's paintings. It's still not done. Had a hard time focusing yesterday morning so it took me an hour to get nowhere near done! . . Happy Tuesday and much love! ❤️

Good morning friendlies! Question: Should art take shortcuts? I've been thinking a lot about shortcuts in art. For a long time, I was very... Prideful? Snobby? When it came to art- I use mediums that are as high quality as I can barely afford and take a long time on my pieces. Even with drawing, I never use pencils darker than HB and I don't smudge because I was taught that both those things are "cheating". . . . . I decided to take up comics again- a medium that practically REQUIRES shortcuts which lead me to find a video by a comic artist who took ten years to make his comic- realized how short life is, and maybe shortcuts shouldn't be looked down upon so much. . . . So this morning I thought, "Screw it!" I found a 2B pencil, smudged to my heart's content, and I must say, I'm not displeased with the result! . . ... I wanted to start this morning on a more spiritual note. This is the first morning I've had where I'm not sick, on vacation, or too down to wake up in a long time. 😊 I don't know why I decided to draw Jim Caviezel, trying to get some inspiration for upcoming religious paintings I guess.

Finished digital painting of some friends as depicted in a fantasy setting! This is my first digital painting in a long time, and it was a lot of fun to do. I'm really glad that I've spent the last several years studying traditional art, because I'm finding that even if you're photobashing an landscape for environment scenes, you need to have a strong understanding of the fundamentals. . . If you could be any creature from a fantasy setting, what would it be? Personally, I would be a dragon! . #fantasy #fantasyart #digitalart #digitalillustration #fantasyillustration #elfart #elf #elves #babies #babyart #dogs #dogart #alphonsemucha #mucha #lordoftherings #lotr #flowers #flowerart #digitalpainting #digitaldrawing #family #familyart #artistsoninstagram #painting #instaart #artistsofinstagram #artstation

Hooray! It's done! Well, it's been done for a while, but I got it framed today. This is my husband's draenei Shaman, Iome. . . . So, question for you. Do you make art when you're sick? . . @olluranthel #silverpanic @worldofwarcraftarts #fantasyart #draenei #artwork #oilpaintings #oilpainting #fantasy #traditionalart #instaart #artstagram #realisticart #semirealism #semirealisticart #fanart #wow @blizzard @activision

Happy Way Back Wednesday! For those of you who are new to the page, this is my gilded oil painting of St. Michael that I did a few months back. The reason why I'm posting it again is because I've been getting people asking to buy the original, but the halo is gilded with 24 kt gold, so it was expensive to make... And I don't know if I really want to part with it. . it was made during a time of chaos and turmoil. It helped me get through those times. I also found the perfect frame for it too! . . So, my St. Michael painting is available to buy as prints on Redbubble (Link in bio). . . . . . #catholicsaints #catholicart #angelart #stmichael #christianart #christianartist #goldart #oilonwood #oilpainting #oilpaintings #raphael #traditionalart #fantasyart #fantasy #waybackwednesday #wednesday #wednesdaymotivation #wednesdaywisdom

Hello, everyone! I spent all day yesterday drawing this beautiful family (some good friends of mine, Anne, Robert, and baby Anastasia as fantasy characters). I was very much inspired by Alphonse Mucha (who's influence I'm seeing a lot in the illustration realm of Instagram! And I'm okay with that!) . . . They have 2 Leonbergers (dogs the size of station wagons) named Ranger and Deja. Poor Ranger got cropped though. Sorry, boy. 😅 . . I kind of wrote this little story in my head where Anastasia grows up to be this awesome Archer with her two dogs- then I remember that dogs almost always die in epic stories and then I stop immediately. . . . #fantasyart #fantasy #illustration #fantasyillustration #art #artstagram #instaart #mucha #alphonsemucha #elves #elfart #family #familyart ##elf #lordoftherings #lotr #dogs #dogart #sketchbook #sketchy #drawingart #drawingsketch #illustrationart #pencilart #artidtsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram
