Progress has still been so slow with this one. It hurts. Particularly, the tree branches have been taking a long time to render. I believe once I finish those, I will be able to finish everything else pretty quickly. I hope so. I keep thinking of other things I want to draw and it really,

Another graphite drawing of a deer. Lately, I’ve been thinking about what direction to go in with the deer art and have landed on the idea of doing a series of graphite drawings. Or at least I think. I change my mind a lot. I’ve just been longing to put something together that feels cohesive

Here’s a progress shot of the next piece I’m doing. It’s a graphite drawing of a little baby goth deer. I started it two days ago and have already made lots of progress! Maybe I can get it done by the end of this weekend? I guess that remains to be seen.

I’m all done with this drawing! I actually finished it a few days ago, but ended up noticing some issues with one of the bones that I’d been wanting to touch up and fix, so I did that today. I’ve got a number of deer sketches in progress, both for potential paintings and drawings. I’m

Feeling happy. Healing is such a strange process. It was only two weeks ago that my breathing was still so labored, my chest so heavy. But now, just this last week, something has dramatically changed in my body again. For the first time in 2 months, I feel somewhat close to how I felt before

I was feeling a little burnt out from painting so I decided to switch back to my favorite medium ever: graphite. I’m still on the deer train, though. And no idea when I’ll be off it. Maybe not for a while, ha. I was planning to do a series of 4 deer graphite drawings this

Well, I’ve decided to call it quits with this one. There’s more I could have done, but I’m feeling anxious to start the next deer painting! This is my first (and perhaps last, haha) time doing a primary color palette. It is tough! I’ve always leaned more towards monochromatic color palettes, so doing this felt

I haven’t been as productive lately as I would like to be. It’s a bummer because, creatively, I’ve been feeling great. I’ve had so many ideas and been filled with such inspired feelings. Unfortunately, physically, I’m still playing catch up. This is my current painting in progress. It’s of an injured deer. I originally sketched

So I’m all done with this baby deer painting.  This one has a much more illustrative style than the other two paintings, I think.  This wasn’t my intention, but I believe it’s an indication I’m starting to find my own voice in painting!   Things have been going well.  The shortness of breath I had

Here’s a progress shot of the painting I’m working on right now, which is also of a deer. My doctor excused me to 4 weeks of “partial duty” due to my lingering COVID-19 symptoms, which I guess have become something of a temporary disability. Crossing my fingers it’s temporary, anyway. Otherwise, this is going to
