Prompt: Showcase
This toad took me so long! It was a massive learning curve, but very satisfying to do throughout. I love this little cutie, and now he lives with my sister, who I also love very much. <3

This has nothing to do with the prompt, but I didn't really have anything relating to a pear, so here's another of my map paintings ๐

Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta splendens) drawn with markers on white paper (still in the coil-bound sketch pad.) It is facing frontwards, with its head angled looking to the bottom right, with it's body curved back around to the right. Fins and tail are streaming around it. Body is predominantly blue with red in the fins and tail. It is signed and dated "Shannon Fennell Feb 26/17"
#FishyFeb theme today is "Fancy."
As I'm not really a fish person, is a Betta "fancy"? My sister asked me to draw this for her.

On a table is a watercolour painting on paper of a Moray Eel, surrounded by a reference image and watercolour palette and a fine brush. The eel is facing to the left, with its mount open, it is a fleshy pink colour with black details. The eel is only painted partway down the length of its body... in another animal it would be a "bust" or "torso" I suppose.
I've got nothing for the FebruArty theme today so...
That's a Moray. ๐

#FebArt - Day 27 - Textured Treasures
Stones will always be great for textures. But I wanted to focus on the textures of inclusions with this post. For instance look at the mossy texture of this local fire quartz.

Handmade Soap in a tropical beach vacation theme. The textured top features shimmering shells and starfish with a sandy like layer of tan with speckles made from coffee grounds for texture. The bottom layer is swirls of turquoise and aqua with a single white dolphin playing beneath the surface. Scented with a blend that makes you think of coconut and the perfect citrus tropical drink!

Digital Art: A druidess in a white dress kneels in the grass of her forest. Her skin and hair are green. Around her are several blooming flowers of purple, pink, and blue. Trees frame the image and make up the background as well.
Prompt: Grounding Energy
Iiiiii need background skills... BUT! I enjoyed making this one. Here's a lovely druid finding peace in her woods.

#FebArt - Day 26 - Grounding Energy
Today I figured I would share a bracelet made of the stone that is the most recommended as a crystal to ground excess energy: Hematite.

Painting of girl with birds, intertwining lines, in different shades of pink, with a quote that says "Love and dreams never die".

Love and dreams never die
An abstract monoprint. Roughly in the centre is a glowing white area surrounded with yellow, similar to a glowing sun, this is surrounded by gradually changing shades of yellow, to orange, to magenta, to reds to purple around the outer edges. Over the whole image are darker areas of colour intensity in streaks and blobs that were caused by blotting the plate with a sheet of newsprint to soak up excess water. The result resembles a tree trunk and possibly a crowd of people at the bottom, which is why I called it Solstice, as it reminded me of that.
#FebruARTy theme for Feb 26 is Magenta.
"Solstice" planographic monoprint (process magenta, process yellow and process cyan.) A happy accident: sprayed water on the plate, over did it, blotted in a panic...

33 miniature paintings are laid out on a green cutting mat. All the paintings are scenes of Dartmoor - some are of the Tors with yellow gorse, some are sheep on the moors, some are at night with the moon, with or without clouds, some show the hedgerows and trees, some skies are clear blue, some are stormy.
Feb 25 for #ArtYear
Acrylic on pine offcuts. Miniature paintings of Dartmoor. We had a studio/shop at Buckland Abbey, I painted these to make into magnets. The mat behind is centimetres.

On a stone platform, 15 Moai (large stone figures with large heads, and no legs) stand in a row facing to the left. These are on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and is called Ahu Tongariki. Ahu refers to the platform they are placed on. The statues are grey stone, one is wearing a red "hat". The background is a hill rising behind them, in shades of brown being dry grass and shrub, with a yellowish sky above.

#FebArt - Day 25 - Sunburst Inspiration
Today I wanted to focus on the beauty of the sun with this sunstone bracelet. Sunstone is a orange feldspar that shines like the sun when light hits it.

Scene is of looking down at the bank of a stream. Running through the scene from top to bottom is a tree branch with lots of bark missing (which looks slightly chewed). The branch is balancing on the top of a smooth rounded rock that is buried in the sand/gravel. To the left you can see the reflection of the blue sky and white clouds in the water, on the right are reflections from the trees on the bank of the stream. To the top right is another rock that is rougher and angular. In the lower centre left is a large yellow maple leaf that is partially submerged, to the right of the round rock are a couple of smaller leave, one yellow and rounded with a point and a small orange/yellow maple leaf. In the top left corner is a small brown/orange maple leaf that is completely submerged.
Feb 25 for #ArtYear
Acrylic on Masonite board, 12x16". I call it "Autumn Reflections."
