I’m still patiently waiting emergence of flowers here in Michigan. Here’s a couple of springy things I’ve been drawing while I wait for some live subjects! ☀️ #bluebird #repeatpattern #spring #newart
@daisylemonart.bsky.social I’d love to be added into your starter pack! 😸
Love conquers all; let us, too, yield to love.
No prob! Have fun with your painting!
Christina’s Wildflower Goat’s Milk Soap packaging illustration done for MATS Lettering Course
I just finished up this soap packaging idea for @makeartthatsells.bsky.social lettering class. TBO I was avoiding cursive for a many years because I know gen Z’s never learned it, and it’s hard for them to read. What do you think, foes it have a future? #lettering #cursive #calligraphy #art
Your painting looks great! I love your colors 🩷😀
That lets the colors float and mingle longer- and I keep dropping in more paint until I get the saturation I want.
I think I’m doing less salt than you: You could experiment with grain size and the timing of when to drop the salt in, too….Sometimes I even drop them in grain by grain. 🤣
Hi Kelly! I’m so sorry I didn’t see this until now! I’ve been hiding under a rock as far as socials go…
I use the best paper I can afford, it’s night and day for me. I prefer to use a paper that repels the water a little more rather than a really thirsty one if that makes sense.😂
She’s beautiful!
Thanks, Kelly!!
Great Blue Heron — they tend to keep to the shallows, but our stretch of the river runs deeper, so spotting one feels rare. They’re a a quiet reminder that stillness can be its own kind of power. 🌿🪶🌊

🪻Spiderwort 🪻
There’s something unruly and beautiful about spiderwort. These brilliant purple blooms with only three petals, open in the morning and close by afternoon. This one was growing wild in my sister’s garden.

🌸 Wild Geranium 🌸
Wild geraniums are everywhere in spring if you know where to look—tucked in shady woods, with their soft pink petals glowing in the understory. Here’s my version!

🌸 Purple Coneflower 🌸
Showy and colorful, the purple coneflower always feels like a steady presence in the wildflower mix. I’m trying to get these classics established in our meadow the last couple of seasons!

🌸 Smooth Blue Aster 🌿
Prolific perennial prairie wildflower, smooth blue asters bloom late in the season across the US and Canada, and attracts an abundance of bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

🌿Trillium🌿
A woodland classic that always feels like a small treasure to find. Many varieties are threatened and illegal to pick. Like all wildflowers, they should stay right were you find them (snap a photo instead)!

🌼 Silverweed 🌼 Here’s my illustration of this widespread wildflower (found on Northern Michigan’s rocky shoreline), that hosts a wide range of pollinators like bumblebees, moths, butterflies, and beetles.

Happy Earth Day illustration with two bunnies leaping over tulips in front of an apple tree dotted with blossoms.
I took a walk through the yard, woods, and meadow just before sunset. It was peaceful. It was quiet. It was just what I needed…Happy Earth Day 🌎 🌱 ✌️
Cuddles abound. I’m just so thankful she likes to rest on my left arm, and I can get some good work done today! #newart #art #digitalart #studiocat
