Deckle & Hues

When you aren’t sure what to paint, you paint your dogs in their Halloween costumes 👻

You want to know something that I am very excited for once we move back to the mainland, the trees actually changing color in fall. For now I will have to settle for painting some autumn trees. Do the tree change color where you live? 🍂

The sprightly Jack-O-Lantern’s eyes
Glow with knowledge, I surmise,
Of the tricks that make men fools,
From local ghosts and ghouls.

Warning! I’m about to use an extremely overused quote but it’s just so TRUE! October has always been my favorite month and gives me the warm fuzzies 🧡

When your rainbow obsessed 6 year old wants to do an art collaboration with you, you can’t say no 💕

I just wanted to paint and destress today, so it was the perfect opportunity to paint something from by . I’m still loving her books as much as I did when I first got them - they are a wonderful way to take your mind off things 🎨

🦔 Most of you probably don’t know this about me but I LOVE hedgehogs 🦔
Once we move back to the mainland I’m planning on getting one as quickly as possible. (They are illegal here in Hawaii) Do any of you have a pet hedgehog? If so give me all the tips!

Had a bit of painters block today and when that happens I love to reach for the book The Joy of Watercolor by . I always learn something new and love her fun colorful tutorials!

Monday. Nothing a bit of art can’t fix! Wishing you all a wonderful start to your week!

🐰 Wishing you and yours an absolutely wonderful early Easter! 🐰

I tried out gouache again and I must say this turned out better than my first painting 😂 I’m happy I didn’t let my first disaster of a piece hold me back from trying again - I thoroughly enjoyed creating this 🐣

Enjoy your holiday weekend you lovely people!

Well it’s about dang time I finished another state! You lovely people have kept me so busy with commissions that I haven’t had much time to work on other projects. (Not that I’m complying or anything 😉)

DM me if you would like the original pictured or I will have the print up in my shop in a few days 🎉

These sweet angels are on their way to their new home today 🐶👼

Can we just admire Winston’s eyelashes for a minute 😍 Just finished my latest pet portrait and I must say I’m in love ♥️

Working on these little cuties today. How cute are those ears!?

When you have artist’s block and then ask your six year old daughter what to paint, this is what you get.

Loving this little watercolor sketchbook and dreaming of ice cream 🍦🍒

Just finished up my latest pet portrait! I don’t know what it is but there is something super fun about painting dogs with curly fur. Do you have a pet with curly fur?

I tried something completely new and out of my comfort zone today. Needless to say a little more practice is needed (if you squint your eyes and back up a few feet it looks decent 😂) but I am still proud of myself for trying something new. What is something new you have tried lately?

I found the tiniest little watercolor sketchbook hidden in my work desk and had to take it for a spin. Are you a forgetful type like me or is your mind a steel trap?

Apparently I’m on a summer fruit kick. I took a break from painting dog portraits conjured up this strawberry pattern.

Tried creating something a little different and it’s making me miss summer! Are you ready for summer or are you still enjoying the cold?

This little cutie is from my last round of custom pet portraits. I’m contemplating doing another limited batch of portraits ... would you be interested? 🐶 🐱
