Ballerina Dollmore Odette in White Shorts, Shirt and Jackect Photos
I did a new bjd doll photoshoot. I only got around to posting it just now. I was trying to get the pouring paintings out of the way early. I wanted to have some pouring paints made in time for fourth of July. I could have done them sooner, but I do not like working too hard on the weekends. So, I got them done today. This is enough with my pouring paints. Now, I am going to talk about my newest bjd doll photoshoot. The bjd doll was made by Dollmore. She is the...
Glitter Butterflies on Tropical Flowers Three Watercolor Paintings
Today, I got around to completing my butterfly painting series. I only make these watercolor paintings on the weekend. At the most, I can only make one watercolor painting a day. I could make more, but that would eat away the time I devote to my books. For these paintings, I didn’t have butterfly references. I had to look up random photos of them in Wikipedia. I combined these butterflies with some of my flower photos. These paintings are not supposed to represent nature. There comes a time when you are meant to improvise an artwork. You can only get...
South Florida Florals Photos
Today, I wanted to do a little short blog about flowers. It has been a while since I posted new floral photography. I take those photos either with my cellphone or my digital camera.

So, I try to make the most out of each excursion. Between all my drawing and writing projects, it is important to take a break now and...
Pouring Art: Gender queer, Bear brotherhood, Gender Fluid, Cuban Pride Flags
(Cuban Pride Flag) Today, I wanted to show you my last pride month pouring arts. The videos for these pouring paintings are already up and about in my Artsysister Youtube Channel and Tiktok page. So, you can go look at how I made these pouring arts. If you are new to this blog, let me tell you how I normally make my pouring paintings. First, I add gesso to a wooden panel. I like working with a smooth surface. It helps the paint flow a lot easier. (Genderfluid Pride Flag) This helps me use up a lot less paint. It...
Blue Morpho and Black Butterflies Watercolor Paintings
I got around to posting my two new watercolor paintings. They are based on butterflies I photographed in the wild. The wild is a bit of an exaggeration. I saw them in a butterfly preserve in Key West. It still works just as well. It is interesting to experience butterflies with your own two eyes, in the real world. I have a serious bug phobia. Still, that doesn’t stop me from appreciating the beauty of butterflies. As long as they do not land on me, I can be super peachy about it. The other part of the painting is choosing...
