Spring is here. From my newest collection, Easter Delight these graphic daffodils go retro.⁠
⁠

Wrapping up the Easter holiday at home and taking down my Easter decor at home and wrapping up my Easter Collection called Easter Delight. Inspired by a vintage Easter palette with a modern graphic take on fabric lined basket and speckled eggs. ⁠

I recently moved to Florida, so it is always a good day to float in the pool. As I was floating, I thought pool floats would make for a great pattern.⁠

Roller Girl! I spent my youth on roller skates with scabbed up knees due to sisters daring me to roller skate down the steepest street in the neighborhood (Pam, Debbie and Amy...you know who you are). Couldn't resist a dare from a sister. My skates weren't as pretty as these. I had the old white skates with the metal wheels. What fun it was to play outside til the street lights came on. ⁠

Glitter texture thanks to for her awesome classes and goodies.She is always an inspiration. Love you Cat.⁠

Day 45/100 A little birthday bear.

Day 44/100 Experimenting with different techniques. This was done in Procreate on my iPad.

Day 43/100 Kinda felt like working on a person. Tried to capture a teen. Worked a bit from Lisa Bardot's People Skills tutorials.

Day 42/100 My sister has a dog like this named Joey. Just trying to work on "shaggy hair". He was a fun little guy.

Day 38/100
Pugs are my favorite dogs. I just love their wrinkled up faces. I don't have a pug, but if I ever get a dog, it will be a pug!

Day 37/100⁠
Date night.I worked on this sketch a few weeks ago and decided to finish it up with a limited palette.⁠

Day 30/100 I love this one! It was so much fun. This was inspired from a class on Skillshare by Cat Coquillette called Cultivating Color. She is my favorite teacher hands down. Which color way do you like the best?

Day 29/100 ⁠
Beetle. I am experimenting with Symmetry on the iPad. So much fun. ⁠
⁠

Day 28/100 Giraffes⁠
⁠
Anyone who knows me well, knows I LOVE giraffes since I have been a little girl. I fed a giraffe this summer and was able to cross it off my bucket list. I added an interesting twist of color. ⁠
⁠

Day 29/100⁠
⁠My giraffe needed a friend in matching set. ⁠This was inspired by Cat Coquillette's Skillshare class Procreate for Art Licensing From Sketch to Sales. I love Cat's teaching style.⁠

Day 25/100 A Birthday Cupcake⁠
No rhyme or reason. It came to mind and brought me joy! A happy little cupcake. I can see an upcoming pattern coming my way with this cute little guy and maybe a few cupcake friends.⁠
⁠

Day 24/100 Pears⁠
⁠Completing my 12th fruit. I think this would make a lovely calendar. I am really enjoying the challenge so far. So excited to see what my art looks like by the end of this challenge.⁠

Day 23/100 Pomegranate⁠
Getting more complicated and feeling more confident. I learned from the strawberry composition. I could totally see this on a tea towel. ⁠
⁠

Day 21/100 Kiwis! Check out that texture!!!! I played around with some brushes in Procreate. I experimented and experimented. I don't even remember what brush. Very satisfied. ⁠

Day 22/100 Dragon Fruit.⁠
How fun is this? I loved the blending and capturing those sprouts? leaves? not sure what to call those green things sprouting out of this fruit. Most of all I love that JUICY color. ⁠
