April Bear

This is a bear in the month of April. It was a Christmas present for my littlest sister April. She said to paint her something purple, so this is what I did. It was painted on a 9″x12″ piece of watercolor paper and was matted at 8″x10.”

Lemurs

On Saturday morning I went to the Duke Lemur Center and did their Walking with the Lemurs tour. It was pretty neat. I got to hang out with some ring tailed lemurs while they ate for probably 30mns or so, but it felt like 5mns. I am considering doing the tour again with a different type of lemur.

I painted this lemur after the tour. There are also some photos below.

Mushrooms Usually Sleep at Night

There have been a lot of mushrooms in the woods lately. I like this one because the colors are nice from far away, but then there are some small critters so you have to get close to see what is going on.

It’s 7×5″ watercolor, ink and colored pencil on paper.

An Octopus and a Mouse

I decided that because I don’t really have time to do oil painting that I would try and squeeze in some short, small and simple illustrations. I named this part one in the hopes that others will follow on other days. I put them in a black border because I would probably put them with a black mat.

They are both 5×7.
