“Just like moons and like suns
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high
Still I rise” -Maya Angelou

She’s all done...inspired by one my favorite moments in painting, Dutch florals...naturally the dark moody backgrounds with deep shadows and intense pops of color are what appeal to me most. And thanks to everyone who voted for pink hair on this one...only 2 people said they didn’t love the idea of it. Do you think they’ll change their mind now that she’s complete? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Check out my story for the new piece I’m working in this series. 🖤 “conquer from within”

“Cause sometimes
I said sometimes
I hear my voice
And it’s been here
Silent all these years”

She’s pretty much done...couple minor details in the background but she’s just about ready for scanning. This one is deeply personal to me and I sank into the process of creating her in a way I haven’t in a very long time. I though a lot while working on her about how I work and what kind of work satisfies me and most of all I realized what happens in my work when it’s forced. Nothing felt forced with her. Nothing felt like a chore. I couldn’t wait to paint her all weekend and was excited to get up and see her staring back at me on my desk. I loved how she looked every step of the way and I’m so excited to start working on the next piece in this series. Stay tuned.

Today’s motivation is brought to you by one of my favorite people in fashion Mr. Joe Zee. I think this is such a good sentiment to start my week with. I’m learning to embrace that life is unpredictable and that it’s not just ok but it’s amazing. Love you @mrjoezee and your wisdom. 🖤

Progress on a new series...wasn’t going to reveal anything until it’s complete but it’s a huge undertaking and it’s going to be a serious amount of time before all the pieces are complete. And I’m too fired up up this girl right now not to share it. #metamorphosis #illustration #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #changeiscoming #butterfly #fashionillustrator #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorartist #strathmorepaper #phmartins #fashionillustration #paintingoftheday #creativeatheart #communityovercompetition #risingtidesociety
Another day another butterfly study. Getting closer but still not in love with her.

I’ve been playing with some studies of butterflies recently for a new series...I used ink for the black here but not loving any of it. It’s not watery enough, it’s not loose enough. So more experimenting today to get the look I’m dreaming of in my head. #illustratorsoninstagram #illustrator #illustrator #illustrators #risingtidesociety #creativeentrepreneur #butterflies #butterfly #nature #natureart #insectart #metamorphosis #watercolor #watercolorartist #watercolor_daily #bts #onmydesk #sketchbook #practicemakesperfect #instaart #communityovercompetition #creativeatheart
