Art Update, Animal Illustrations

I have not been very public about my art lately. There are a couple reasons for that.

1. I have been drawing and painting less since last summer as I am focusing on my next chapter in coaching. Last winter, I completed a first specialization course in ADHD, and I am now in a full coaching training program that will run until the end of this year.

2. Since last year, I've been posting less on social media. Then, I decided to stop sharing entirely and focus on blogs. I might come back to that later on a different platform.

During wintertime, I focused on art for my own pleasure and decided to do more illustrative pieces. The transition from realistic to illustrative painting is not always easy, especially since I'm a perfectionist. Learning to let go is a great exercise, though.

Here are a few of these animal illustration.

First, it was something inspired by Luna (not fully her).

There was a giraffe because I love them.

Then I wanted to honor my pets over these last 10 years.

There's Barnaby, of course.

An homage to Finale.

Cute little Joey.

And then Molly shared with me a reel with this cute sheep, and I couldn't resist painting him. He's one of my favorites.

I will continue to do these, now and then. If you have an animal in mind or even your pet, I will be happy to do a little something for you.

Otherwise, business-wise, I still sell my cards and prints on Maui at Collections and Paper Garden. I also have an Etsy shop for original paintings.
