There's nothing like a course direction to move the finishing line just a tad. The last time I posted, I had four left. Tonight, despite sharing three illustrations, I still have seven left. #oracledecks #divination #fantasyart #magic #cats #witchsky #procreate #art #illustration

I am not certain how I feel about this one, but I've been painting roses for days, and I'm just a little over it 😆 These two are the Guardians of the Rose Portal. Four left. #art #illustration #oracledecks #oraclecards #divinationtools #fantasyart #dragons #witchsky

This was more difficult than I thought it would be as I tend to use a range of colours across each painting. #art #illustration #colorwheelchallenge #colourwheel

My attention has been snared by my secret project. There are now only five illustrations left, and I am going to do my utmost to have them completed within the next month. This is The Heart-deep Portal. #oracledecks #divination #fantasyart #magic #cats #witchsky #procreate #art #illustration

There are now six remaining. #oracledecks #divination #fantasyart #snakes #dragonart #witchsky #procreate #art #illustration #procreate

This beautiful critter is another illustration of the secret project, but do I go with this new version (dark) or the original (red)? This is The Emergent One, and there are now 7 left. #oracledecks #divination #fantasyart #snakes #dragonart #witchsky #procreate #art #illustration #procreate

✨ Emerging from the forest floor, the Myceliae remind us of the unseen connections that bind all life together. This painting is part of my secret project. 🍄🌿 I have eight paintings left. #art #illustration #oracledeck #oraclecards #divination #fantasyart #faeryart #witchsky #artistsupport

I have had this painting on my to-do list for a while. It is so gentle and pure. It's also available for purchase if interested. Title: Kiss Medium: Acrylics on 300gsm watercolour paper Size: 8"x10" #ArtistOnBluesky #Artlover #Art #Witchsky #FantasyArt

Once my secret project is completed, I have the sigil deck and Lenormand to finish. Then, I have decided to work on tarot decks exclusively. And because I now have to paint originals to pay the bills, I have made a start. This is Coyote - The Fool. A new journey begins. #witchsky #tarotsky #art

It's been a week of disruptions. Only a few tasks on my to-do list were completed. I am somewhat frustrated by this, but at least I finished another painting. This one's been half-finished for 3 years. The Starborn Lovers #art #illustration #witchsky #oraclecards #dragons #dragonart #divination

I've been on a pixel-paint bender for the last fortnight. Sadly, my time with this form of painting has ended for now. I have traditional paintings to work on. This one will be called The Little Bits for now. #art #illustration #witchsky #oraclecards #dragons #dragonart #divination

Today was less blah than yesterday. I spent half of it chatting with my daughters and sleeping. Then, workaholic me felt compelled to complete another ancient WIP. This is The Seekers. It has taken 3 years to complete. #art #illustration #witchsky #oraclecards #dragons #dragonart #divination

Today was a blah day. The last thing I wanted to do was paint with acrylics. Instead, I looked in my WIP folder for something easy to work on. This dragon was a day away from completion for over a year. He is The Watcher. #art #illustration #witchsky #oraclecards #dragons #dragonart #divination

I am hosting a sale on my Facebook market group at the end of June. Between now and then, I will be working on small-format originals from ACEO size up to 8"x10". This little Anubis painting will be among those available. #art #illustration #witchsky #egyptiangods #anubis #traditionalart

They are "The Protectors of the Starlight Blade" and will be included in the project I mentioned in my last post. It is now late here. It's been a long day. It's time for me to sleep. #art #illustration #wip #wipart #witchsky #oraclecards #dragons #dragonart #divination

It’s time for me to put up my brush. I am rather happy with my progress and would like to keep working, but it’s time to sleep. If all goes well, I’ll be able to finish this tomorrow. He’s a beautiful, big boy. #art #illustration #wip #wipart #witchsky #oraclecards #dragons

I began work on this last night after completing the painting I shared last night. My goal is to complete this one by Monday night. It’s another one from my secret to-do list. It’s waited years for me to paint it. #art #illustration #wip #wipart #witchsky #oraclecards #dragons

*peeking in* Yeah, I know. I've been lax at posting. Life has just taken a turn for the crazy-busy this year. New art. This one is for a project I cannot discuss here. Only my Patreon peeps will be kept in the know about it. #art #illustration #witchsky #oraclecards #dragons

The last month has been a crazy, chaotic whirlwind. I apologize for my absence. I did not have enough brain space available to maintain my social media. Things were dire. I had to focus on keeping a roof over my head. I breathe a little easier now, so I have returned. #art #illustration #witchsky

Apologies for being absent. I have a rather upsetting critical issue arise last week that I am forced to deal with. In other news, my Patreon is back online if anyone is interested. #witchsky #pagansky #art #illustration #artistsupport #artssupport

Horizontal rain, rumbles, and flashes. Of course, only storm on an otherwise clear night had to roll over my town and pull me from sleep. The cat is hiding under the bed. #witchsky #weather #storms #hailthor

Potential homelessness was not on my bingo card for 2025. Gotta love the harsh curveballs life throws at us (not). Yesterday, I was terrified. Now that the initial "shock and awe" has faded, this ol' blackbird will make sure this terrifying outcome never eventuates. #witchsky #spellwork #art #faith

I have been moving heavy furniture all by myself today. There’s not a muscle in my body that does not feel worn and sore. I promise to respond to several kind comments tomorrow. Tonight, now a sigil has been crafted, this weary old soul is going to sleep. #witchsky #sigils #magic #art #illustration

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I changed the card design again. I wanted a balance of colour and black, but I didn't want the colour to flow up to the edge because those edges will be painted black. This deck will have a lot of black—on the back, edges, front, and sigils. #witchsky #sigils #spellwork #magic #art #illustration

This week I was introduced to one of Bluesky’s weirder folk. A 32k account followed me only to unfollow me and then refollow me multiple times. I was getting whiplash so I ended their fun by blocking them. Then I went to work on a new sigil. #witchsky #sigils #spellcraft #magic #art #illustration

After several weeks of behind-the-scenes frustration and experimentation, I believe I have finally hit on a card design for the sigil deck that I am more than 95% happy with. This is a good thing as I can now focus on crafting sigils. #witchsky #sigils #spellwork #magic #art #illustration

I know Dracones Loqui differs from the other three I have created, but of all the decks, I think this one is my favourite. That is why it sits beside me so I can hear my dragons whisper. ✨CARD OF THE DAY ✨ ✨Card 15 - Flow ✨ #witchsky #tarotsky #divination #sigils #magic #art #illustration

One colour I find challenging to work with is turquoise. This is something I find curious because I used it with ease when I painted the water cards for the DofGT. Back then, fire colours were hard. Now they are easy. New dragon. Turquoise-inspired. #witchsky #crystals #dragons #art #illustration

🔴 If you see this, post something RED. 🔴

Not too sure what his name is, but his colours are based on Jaspelite (Red Jasper and Hematite). It’s been a long day and right now I am happy with him, but I bet I find a multitude of flaws tomorrow. #witchsky #crystals #magic #dragons #art #illustration

Jasper, now renamed “Mooki” is finished. There’s nothing like giving a dragon critter an undignified name and telling the world that you could just scritch his boofull face to pieces. Without giving my secret away, I’ll just say he’s part of it. #witchsky #crystals #magic #art #illustration
