🍋✨ ‘Citrus Serenade’ ✨🍋 My first so 🍋✨ ‘Citrus Serenade’ ✨🍋 My first soft pastel painting of the year is complete, and I’m so excited to share her with you! This portrait is part of my Seed Girl Collection, where every piece is adorned with a signature gold border. ‘Citrus Serenade’ is a celebration of beauty, nature, and harmony. 🌿🐝 She has a special place as my first dive back into soft pastels in 2025. See her progress unfold—from drawing to a vibrant, finished piece. I’d love to hear what you think! Which detail speaks to you the most: the lemons, the bees, or her serene profile? 💛 Thank you for following along on this creative journey—more Seed Girls are on the way! 🌟 @parkwestgallery #CitrusSerenade #SeedGirlCollection #SoftPastels #PortraitArt #ArtistAtWork #NatureInspired #FineArt

Studio vibes ✨ Three of my Seed Girl paintings Studio vibes ✨ Three of my Seed Girl paintings set aside to dry! It’s been a creative whirlwind working with oils these past few weeks, but I’m feeling the pull to switch things up.

Stay tuned—it’s going to be good! In the meantime, let me know in the comments: Are you team soft pastels or oil paints? Or maybe you just love seeing the process unfold?

✨ Almost Finished: The Bunny Guardian ✨ I’m ✨ Almost Finished: The Bunny Guardian ✨ I’m so excited to share a glimpse of my newest seed girl, The Bunny Guardian! 🌕 She’s almost ready—I just need to add the gold border. But I couldn’t wait to show off her glowing backlit hair, the moonlight, the little red mushrooms, and her whimsical presence. My Seed Girls are all about nurturing and protecting the magic in nature and all its amazing creatures. 🌱 Oh, and this painting also features my first-ever chicken! 🐔 I’ve never painted one before, can you believe it? Kind of weird, but I thought I’d share lol What do you think so far? Can’t wait to share the finished piece! 🍄
🖊️✨ Sketching the Seed Girls ✨🖊️ No 🖊️✨ Sketching the Seed Girls ✨🖊️ Normally, I don’t share much of my sketching process, especially since I often work digitally on my iPad—it’s so convenient for traveling! But the Seed Girls are different. From the moment this collection began to take shape, I felt a pull to connect with the tactile, organic practice of sketching with pen and paper. Why pen? Because there’s no erasing. Every line, every curve, every stroke stays. It feels natural, spontaneous, and unfiltered—just like the Seed Girls themselves. The process mirrors the themes of this collection: growth, imperfection, and embracing the beauty of what unfolds naturally. These sketches are the beginning of their stories, and I’m so excited to share this journey with you. 🌱💫 @parkwestgallery #LasVegasFineArtist #WhimsicalSurrealist #SeedGirls
