My Brush Is My Pen Too

I've been going through my old photos looking for a watercolor I painted and gave to my brother so I can try to recreate it for myself again. Art tells a story visually. I guess that's why I like to paint and draw. Sometimes, it leads me to a story idea and sometimes not, but it's a great joy and very relaxing. I also am an avid photographer, which you may know. Most of the images on my blog are my own.

For my Weekend Creation Blog Hop entry, I thought I'd share some of my other artwork with you today.

This first one is a watercolor I painted for my father as a gift. I normally paint animals or mythical creatures, but I tried something realistic this time.

This watercolor I painted as a gift for a good friend of mine. It was my first floral attempt.

My second floral watercolor was this poppy I gave to my mother.

I went through a phase where I did a lot of geometric art. I focused a bunch on different jungles of the world. This is a Sharpie and watercolor pencil piece from that time period.

I make my own cards for gifts, sometimes using recycled/found materials. This is one of the cards I made for my father a few years ago.

This is an Indian water sprite that protects rivers,, also done in watercolor. I am going to try to incorporate one of these spirits into a story some day, when inspiration hits. It hasn't, yet.

My passion for insects never left after childhood. Butterflies are so majestic. This work is done in oil pastel and linseed oil.

Hope you enjoyed my artwork. Maybe, it will inspire you to create a story or other masterpiece yourself.

As always, happy writing and happy reading to all! And today, happy creating!
