Well hello, #PortfolioDay! I’m Lily, a whimsical #traditional artist specializing in a blend of #realism and #surrealist abstraction! #animals are my favorite subject, and I do a lot of #petportrait commissions! #artsky #artist #acrylics #commissions #whimsical #magicalrealism #fantasy

I think #cold weather makes the best sunsets…is there evidence for this?? #photography #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #sunset #light #bluesky #sky #clouds #winter #glow #golden

“Sleep, revive.” Nature endures a #cold winter, and life remains on the other side. #art #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #winter #traditionalart #painting #illustration #fantasy #nymph #light #sun #forest

Just #one little snail for #BlueSkyArtShow… What is he thinking? Is he lonely? #art #traditionalart #gouache #cottagecore #moon #snail #cute #illustration #sparkle

One swing. One tree. Only #one thing is missing. Memorial piece. #BlueSkyArtShow #art #memorial #painting #traditionalart #lonely #nature #love #sad

i say no worries a lot for someone who worries 101% of the time

This #petportrait commission is finally finished! This was a memorial piece for my client 💚 It was a pleasure to paint Lillie! Do you like seeing the process of my paintings? #commission #art #drawing #dog #pet #animal #artsky #doodle #opentowork #painting #traditionalart #husky #realism

I don’t know why I’ve been resisting painting so much. Every time I do it I’m like, “OMFG I NEEDED THAT.” So weird. #art #musings
