I don’t make political cartoons but I needed a way to vent some of the frustration and anger I’ve been feeling lately.

So the last two years around now, I’ve been consumed with the need to create a video game. It’s happened again. I know I’m not built for programming but I can’t help trying. I have so many things I SHOULD be doing, but nah, my brain won’t let me.

I burn out on social media so quickly. I don’t know how people keep updating their accounts regularly for years. Anyway, here’s another painting. Let’s just pretend I posted it on a regular schedule. 😅 Oil on canvas 18x24” #art

Anyone else take the week between Christmas and New Years off, but now it’s Jan 15th and you have no idea what you did the last two weeks? Anyway, here’s another abstract I painted. Oil on canvas 18x24”

My first painting of 2025. I can’t be certain but I’m pretty sure this is the most important thing I’ll ever create. What do you think? 🤣 Oil on canvas 11x14” #art

I have so many exciting plans for paintings in the new year! I can’t wait to build up my portfolio with all the skills I’ve learned in the past year, and to grow as an artist and creator. This piece I call “Remember me by my hair”. Oil on canvas 10x30”

I’m always a little hesitant to post my abstract paintings because I know lots of people don’t see the value in them. I know I didn’t for a long time. I no longer try to find some mysterious meaning in them and ask myself if it’s pretty, because that’s all that really matters.

I got tools for Christmas! I’m so excited. Apparently I’m a stereotypical dad? Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. :)

This goose is just checking in to make sure you choose chicken, turkey, or some other meal for Christmas dinner. 🤣 Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, or at least a tolerable one Oil on canvas 10x20” #artadventcalendar

A cute little mouse. Look at him happily in a field and not in my house. 🤣 #artadventcalendar

A pair of pears today for #artadventcalendar

Trying to decide which paintings to show for this #artvsartist was more difficult than I thought. It seems I’ve done a lot of bird paintings, which is odd given I’m generally not a huge fan of birds.

Have you ever wondered why chickadees are so obsessed with cheeseburgers? I know I have, especially when I was a kid. 🤣 Oil on canvas - sold #artadventcalendar

A little tomato I grew this year. I didn’t get many but the one I got were perfect. Oil on canvas 8x8” #artadventcalendar

I’ve done so much art lately that I don’t particularly like or feel proud of. It’s getting really frustrating. I want to do more than portraits of animals, but that’s all people have responded to so far. Is that all I can do? Oil on canvas 12x12”

I miss that one time I was on a starter list and got a bunch of followers in one day. 😂

I did this painting based on one of my book covers. I was trying to practice painting both faces and flowers with this one. I worked on a bigger canvas to give myself more room for details but her face still ended up small comparatively. Oops 😅 Oil on canvas 16x20”

My favourite thing to paint digitally is portraits. I wanted to bring that to the canvas. Decided to go much more abstract than usual for me. Oil and acrylic on canvas 10x20”

If you see this, post some cat art I haven’t been posting any of my digital art on here, but I just love this one I did of my friend and this kitty.

While walking my mother’s dog this summer, I met with these cows. They seemed like particularly pleasant cows and barely gave us a second look. Oil on canvas 12x12”

It’s always frustrating when a painting doesn’t turn out the way you hoped. Even doubly so when it’s on the biggest canvas you’ve ever used.

A painting of my little Shih Tzu, Diva. She’s just the sweetest most annoying brat ever. Her perpetual look of sadness only shifts when given treat from neighbours (almost daily) or new toys. Oil on canvas 12x12”

I did this painting specifically for small show that had an art call earlier this year. Excitingly, it was chosen for the show! “Who will I be today” Oil on canvas 12x12”

Playful horses Oil on canvas 12x12”

I’ve set up an online store for my art! ChristinaWhiteArt.com

As I try to explore my style and voice, I’ve tried a few different approaches to my paintings. Here is a more abstract figure I created. Oil on canvas 10x20” #art

If you see this, post a #rabbit! I actually just posted this one a couple days ago, but I’ll do it again. I love how bright the white fur is against the dark background on this little guy.

A little sheep to round out my animal paintings, at least for now. Oil on board 10x10”

Almost at the end of my series of animals. Today is a brown cow. How now? Well, that is the question. Oil on board 10x10” #art

This fox is looking particularly sly. Or maybe he’s just judging all of the scammers who love to contact me every time I post art. Oil on board 10x10” #art #wildlife

I feel like I don’t see blue jays as often as when I was a kid. A shame, since I do love anything blue. Oil on board 10x10” - Sold #bird #art

A little fluffy bunny I painted for a bit of practice. Oil on board 10x10”

When my husband and I first started dating, he asked me what my favourite animal was. I said penguin because I thought it was funny and then instantly forgot. For years he kept giving me penguin stuffies and I had no idea why. This painting is for him. ❤️ Oil on board 10x10”

I guess since eBookDaily was nice enough to randomly choose my book to be featured, I’ll promote it (and them) a little as well. Check out The Man in the Box for free. ebookdaily.com/free-kindle-...

Growing up I had an orange cat that was a bit wild. This one reminded me of him. Oil on board 10x10”

I couldn’t resist painting this little frog. Oil on board 10x10”

@no-one-existing.bsky.social way to make me feel bad 🤣

As you can maybe tell by my profile image, this crow painting I did is one of my favourites. Or maybe it’s a raven. Hard to tell, really. 😅 Oil on canvas 10x10” Sold #birds #art

Chickadees are just such cute round blobs. And there calls are so distinctive and fun. I think they’re possibly my favourite bird. Oil on board 10x10” #bird #art

It’s been a struggle trying to figure out exactly what I want to paint. Realism? Abstract? Somewhere in between? As I attempt to figure it out I did a series of animal paintings to practice with the paints. So far they seem to be people’s favourites. Oil on board 10x10”

The fun part of abstract for me is not going in with a plan. I have no references or colors I’m trying to match. It’s all about feeling. It’s also the hardest part about abstract, because how do you know when it’s done or if it’s any good? Oil on canvas 11x14”

One of my friends claimed this abstract as causing their mouth to pucker, so I’ve decide to call it Citrus. I like how simple and bright this painting is. It feels like sunshine to me. Oil on canvas 18x24”

Abstract paintings are so fascinating to me. They’re nothing, just marks, but there’s something appealing to them if they’re done right. I’m not sure I do it right, but here is one of my first attempts. Oil on canvas 18x24”

I have never felt so stressed making art as while I painted this landscape. Why? Don’t know. Maybe because it was my biggest painting so far, or I was using a palette knife for the first time, or painting a landscape for the first time. Hmm, maybe I know why it was scary. Oil on canvas 16x20”

Exciting to have over 200 followers here! Thank you so much! I guess I’ll post my happy sky painting I did this summer after an amazing day at the beach! I hope the sun shines bright wherever you are. ❤️ Too cheesy? Sorry haha Oil on canvas 11x14”

My second acrylic painting as I attempted to loosen up and try something a little more abstract. There were parts when I really liked this painting, but the finished piece isn’t exactly what I envisioned. Acrylic on canvas 11x14”

My step father, David Helwig, was a pretty incredible person. He was a great author and poet and generally just an amazing guy. I honestly wanted to hate him for obvious reasons, but he was just too awesome. Check out his work! Oil on canvas board 5x7” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_H...

My final dog portrait commission. I got a little burnt out on them after last Christmas, and found myself attempting to add the environment and full body with this one just to change things up a bit. I will do more eventually, but it can’t be all I do. Oil on canvas 11x14”

The more I learn about the art world, the more I wonder if women don’t make it big because of gender inequality, or do women just generally have more morals and aren’t interested in scamming people?
