What Am I Even Doing?

Ok I think is will be one of my last favorite reposts of 2020. . I absolutely love this piece I did, honestly a bit crestfallen that it didn’t get as much interaction as I hoped for, but c’est la vie. . Persephone is one of my favorite Greek goddesses. I love her story, the older version, the one where she’s not a victim and powerless. I love the story of her adventurous spirit led her to the underworld and instead of being trapped it was her choice to stay. In the older versions she holds her power as a goddess. I love the duality of her personality, the balance of spring and death. . #seestephart . . #digitalillustration #persephoneart #greekgoddess #persephone #digitalpainting #procreateartist #flowerart (at Springfield, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJzt7gGhd0p/?igshid=1sqwcpk9xwk5s

Another favorite on my repost through 2020. Momento Mori - also based off of one of my oil paintings. I had way too much fun working on this skull. . It was unintentional to post this one today, on what seems to be an extension of 2020, and a shameful and sad day in American history. Yet it seems the perfect one. Momento Mori is a reminder that all must die. So though this shame has stirred in America, and blatant disrespect for others is apparent, all must die in time. I have a lot of thoughts as to our current lack of unity in the states, but perhaps a simple art post is not where I will expand. . . #seestephart . #momentomori #digitalart #digitalpainting #skullart #buymyart #artistsoninstagram #oilpainting #procreateartist (at Springfield, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJuuraDhHwj/?igshid=8wx4uxm5ygyv

Up next on my favorite pieces from 2020, Hannah at Pride, well Pride from 2019! This was one of my first drawings on my iPad, so it was experimental in a way but still super happy with how this turned out! . I think I’ve don’t more drawing since March than I have in a really long time. . #seestephart . . #lineart #pride #lgbtqia #shecutetho #digitaldrawing (at Springfield, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJsPzURAJXv/?igshid=sembhpxl4kmq

Third day of favorites from 2020 goes to my digital reproduction of ‘Killer Queen’ - which is one of my favorite paints I did. If you haven’t heard me talk about this piece or the OG, it was inspired by a one of my favorite author’s, @joveewintersarts , who’s also coming up strong in her art, and Queen the band, and my general fascination and love of the ocean and sharks. . I’m still working on the best way to make prints of all my pieces, so if anyone has ideas let me know! Or if you’d be interested in ordering prints at all! Lol And of course, I’m open for commissions! . . . #seestephart . #oceanvibes #digitalprints #digitalillustration #digitalpainting #oilpainting #calypso #sharks #artistsofinstagram #buymyart (at Springfield, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJpKeHQhm6f/?igshid=1u8z8734o82jy

Next on our tour of Steph’s favorite pieces she’s created this year, we have The Creation of Coffee. This was my last black board piece I did as a Starbucks barista. It still is up at my old shop, nearly a year later! I remember finishing this the day we officially shut down for quarantine and didn’t know when we’d open. I think it went a month or two before anyone really got to see it. . Anyways, this is chalkboard markers and little bit of crayola markers on black chalkboard . #seestephart . . #chalkboardart #chalkboardsigns #tobeapartner #starbucksart #goodbye2020 #artoftheyear #instagramartist (at Starbucks) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJmiVXwh-24/?igshid=1lyoyz7g81w1l

Jumping on the band wagon, but I’m my own way. Instead of posting my most liked or interacted with posts, I’m sharing my favorite pieces I’ve posted this year! Individually! . Starting with the one that started it all .. back up again lol. What I mean is, this simple little drawing, that kinda turned into a cartoon self portrait, gave me joy to draw again. I love the way it turned out and helped build my artistic confidence again. This one solidified my desire to get a tablet to restart digitally. . I did this on multimedia paper with @micronart pens. It’s about 3x4 inches . . . #goodbye2020 #favoriteart #linedrawings #plussizecute #cutedrawing #artof2020 (at Springfield, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJi-WUrAWv9/?igshid=1i9qjgakev0b6
