I haven’t worked on a pattern in a bit. Today’s #septembergems Onyx prompt was my inspiration. 🖤🐍 . . . . #monthofcolour #patternplay #surfacedesigner #printandpattern #dspattern #onyx

Lucy did not enjoy getting caught in the rain without her umbrella. ☔️🤦🏻‍♀️✨ . . . Another #drawthisinyourstyle + #septembergems mashup. Today’s color was Smokey Topaz, and I used it as inspiration for @jennifermpotter ‘s latest #drawwithjennifer 🖤. She was a super fun character to work with! Swipe to see the original 👏🏼✨ . . . . #monthofcolour #illustratorsoninstagram #girlart #womenwhodraw #kidlitart #character

I haven’t done a #drawthisinyourstyle in a while. ✨ I chose this one because her hair reminded me of Tiger’s Eye- today’s #septembergems color. @lanajay_art created the original. Swipe to see hers! 🌸✨ #monthofcolour #character #dailydrawing #tigerseye #illustratorsoninstagram #lanajaychallenge #womenwhodraw #girlpower

I’m having fun designing a holiday line for the @makeartthatsells home dec live review at the end of this month. I used to work @pier1 and my favorite time of year was when the holiday boxes started arriving. We’d work on merchandising all morning and be covered in glitter by the end of the day. ✨ #sneakpeek #workinprogress #makeartthatsells #matshomedecor #christmas #holidaydecor #christmasornaments

I make @porterthewonderdog wear sweaters in the fall. I’m pretty sure he hates it, but I don’t really care because it is just too cute. 😂 🍁 ✨ #schnauzersofinstagram #dogstagram

I’m enjoying some beautiful fresh flowers in the studio after a visit to @theherbandgarden 🌸✨

I was trying to channel contentment when I was working on this yesterday. ✨ I know I would be content if I was sitting atop a giant ghost flower, looking at snow capped mountains, and wearing my favorite outfit. #dreamworld #mindfulness #contentment

It was a bit of a strange day at the museum... . . . . #picturebook #childrensart #kidlitart #cleopatra #children_illustration #scbwi #childrenswritersguild

If only it were this easy to build a dream house. 🏡✨ #procreatevideo #speedpaint #timelapsedrawing

A dreamy underwater piece for your day. 🌸✨ #septembergems #monthofcolour #dreamy #darkandlovely #procreate #dreamworld

Mark and Arnold are about to start a dad band, but Arnold is already miffed that Mark spent their travel money on a new amp...or maybe it’s just that he still has some hair left. 😂 . . . Side-eye submission for @illobites #illobites #dadband #funnycharacters

Shelly Laslo’s - @shelly_laslo - #drawthisinyourstyle reminded me of my grandmother. I loved it when she would kiss me on the cheek and leave her lipstick. ❤️💋✨ As always, swipe to see Shelly’s original. 😍 #septembergems #monthofcolour #loveletter #drawwithshelly

A carnelian flower for #septembergems 🌸🐝✨ #monthofcolour #beelove #makearteveryday

Today’s color inspiration is Malachite. 🌿✨ #septembergems #monthofcolour #dreamworld #illustration #dreamy #darkandlovely

Another #drawthisinyourstyle 🌿✨ This time I chose @saoirselouscribbles green fairy, which worked perfectly for today’s color. 🧚🏼‍♀️✨ As always, swipe to take a peek at the original. ☺️ #monthofcolour #septembergems #greenfairy #character #dailydrawing

I love the sound of quaking aspens. I remember driving through a huge aspen grove when the leaves were golden and there was a bit of a breeze. To this day, it is one of my most magical memories. #monthofcolour #septembergems #magicalforest #picturebooks #aspentrees #montanaartist

If only it were this easy to build a dream house. 🏡✨ #procreatevideo #speedpaint #timelapsedrawing
