Flowers and gems. Started it yesterday. Finished it today. Days like this remind me why I started doing art again. Thinking is hard. School is hard. But drawing means I can sometimes put all of that to the side and do something I enjoy. It helps me focus. It helps me reboot. Life is hard. But that’s why we have art.
I’ll be honest. I cried so much making this.
This is the beginning of a memorial piece I intend to get tattooed, probably on my wrist. The feather needs to be thinner, especially at the bottom, as it will be a tail feather of my first bird Winter, who passed many years ago. We got Winter from an elderly woman who was losing the ability to care for her properly. We had two birds previously, but Winter was the first that was all mine.
The paw prints belong to my kitties, both passed last year, and I got both at 6 years old. The orange and white one belongs to Odie, my fat, “no really mom, it’s just fur!” cat. His diabetes went unnoticed until it was too late to save him. I attributed his weight loss and sluggishness to depression, as it was mere months after we had lost his brother Batman, to whom the black paw belongs. He was all black, but for the white star on his chest. He was always sickly, but it took me by surprise when I woke up one morning to find him unmoving and struggling to breathe.
Helloooo! Thanks so much for the follow! Always nice to find another aspiring artist. :) Your style is really imaginative and inventive - looking forward to seeing more, keep up the good work!
Thank you!! This made me smile as I woke up having a really, really bad day. But this really made me smile. Maybe I’ll do some art later today, I haven’t in a while.
MORE eye artwork!!
in case i havent made myself explicitly clear before:
