I had the opportunity to spend a fantastic day at Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate in Sleepy Hollow last year, and never posted this little painting. A huge thank you again to @cfabricatore for organizing such a wonderful visit! - . . . . . . #locationdrawing #kykuit #nature #japanesegarden #watercolor #gouache #coloredpencil #illustration #illustratorsofinstagram #illustratoroninstagram #illustrationart #illustrationartists #art #instaart #sketchbook #sketchoftheday #draweveryday (at Kykuit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9b6zuGDIK5/?igshid=rg4c4fvgny41

My first contribution to #inktober this year: the mythological beastie, the cockatrice! Cousin of the basilisk in medieval lore, this critter can end you with a look, a touch, and apparently some killer breath. - . . . . . #inktober2019 #october #ink #dippen #drawing #creatureconcept #cockatrice #mythological #beast #medieval #draweveryday #illustrationart #illustrationartist #instaart #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B3GMyp3j5WX/?igshid=q1e9gajug0yi

A little tree doodle on a sheet of fancy watercolor paper as part of a warm-up series.
