Tomorrow I start a really big project here in Vega

Tomorrow I start a really big project here in Vegas that’s been almost a year in the making. Going into it with excitement that I have my mural team here with me but also a little apprehension -as with any big project. Hoping we create a little magic and we have a great few weeks painting together!

Our house in Montross, VA is full of mermaids we found in little antique shops throughout the area. One of my favorites is a cast iron reclining mermaid that sits on our entryway table. She’s beautiful and weighs a ton. (Swipe to see her). She inspired this illustration - created in #procreateThink I’ll have to do a big framed print for the house when we come back in a few months. ....#mermaid #mermaidart #procreateart #illustration #femaleartist #illustrator #mermaidpainting #artprint #pearl #mermaidtails #filigree #symmetry #symmetricalart #aqua #teal #blackpearl #artistsoninstagram #sketchdesignrepeat #flourishdesigntribe #leverageyourart

“Virginia Maggie” inspired by a vintage painting by artist Henry Clive. Virginia is full of giant magnolia trees with amazingly large blooms. It reminded me that my parents had a big magnolia in our front yard and I was fascinated by the cone that would drop from the tree after the petals fell away. It had a velvety texture with little points that poked out all around. I thought they were so cool.⭐️swipe to see full illustration.🌸.🌳.🌼#henryclive #magnolia #virginiaisforlovers #illustration #magnoliatree #illustrator #femaleillustrator #artprint #femininestyle #filigree #vintageillustration #surfacedesigner #mystyle #flourishdesigntribe #floral #greetingcarddesign #magnoliaflower #floraldesign

It’s so funny to me...I can struggle with creating something I have in my mind for so long, then once I let go of that image, something different and fantastic happens and the creativity flows. “Cloistered Coif” is pastel on Velour that I framed in Procreate - replicating the butterflies and poppy with the pastel brush - my new favorite. .....#procreateart #procreate #illustratorsoninstagram #illustration #softpastels #filigree #femaleartist #wheninspirationstrikes #imaginationrunswild #butterflies #powerfulwomen #femalewarrior #coiffure #cloister

One of my favorite pattern pairs. I’ll admit that I’ve never really been good at drawing butterflies. Sounds silly since most of us start drawing them very young, along with that little quarter of a sun in the top corner of your page. Who remembers doing that? Lol I’ve moved on to drawing full circled suns but this is the first butterfly I’ve drawn in a long time - and that I’m happy with 🦋 What have you always had trouble drawing?.....#handdrawn #illustrator #femaleillustrator #butterflyart #mushrooms #lifeismagical #flutter #surfacedesign #surfacedesigner #illustration #carddesign #aliceinwonderland #surfacepatterndesign

🍉Happy National Watermelon Day!!!🍉We love Watermelon in our house - my son especially. He was a summer baby and I was very pregnant during the hottest California months so watermelon was my treat. But towards the end I was eating a watermelon a day. 🍉 Family and friends were actually delivering watermelons to my home quite frequently. It’s true 😂🍉They say the baby will end up loving what you eat while pregnant and my little summer baby still goes gaga over watermelon 9 years later :)Happy National Watermelon Day everyone!!! 🌞🌸🍉
