Krislyn Dillard Artist

Pencil and ink drawing on paper in my drawing pad. A water sprite.

A little drawing I did last weekend. Sorry for the terrible lighting.

Our new house! It's a 110 year old farm house on 2 acres.

Acrylic on canvas 16" x 20" and is called: View from Newberry. I painted it in the studio from reference photos I took when my husband and I visited.

I recently finished this painting and found the perfect frame for it. Painted from a photo I took when my husband and I visited the Table Rocks outside Medford last Spring.

Recently, I did an art trade with Alise Baker, a really fantastic fiber and paint artist in Seattle. We'd done a trade a few years earlier and I really loved the piece she'd given me. In fact, I thought our trade a little unfair because the art she got in return was a print (and just not as good!) So, this time around I wanted to make her the best artwork I could. This is her bunny Buffy using alchohol based inks, steadler pens, colored pencil and opaque white ink. I tried to create a first person view as though we are just on the other side of her harness strap. #bunnyart #bunnydrawing #bunny #petportrait #illustration #rabbitart #rabbitillustration #beepaper

I'm trying to wrap my head around different lighting situations. Here's a little white capped sparrow sketch I did on the computer.

Out of Peach. Ink and colored pencil on paper. I know I'm "supposed" to talk a little about what I'm thinking about when making art. Some pieces are too personal for me for this. Actually, just saying this much is difficult. I guess that's life s'il vous plait.

Mushrooms! I saw these while walking in the forest a few weeks back. Ink on paper. #art #drawing #ink #mushroom #redmushroom #illustration #natureart #forestart #forest #pnw #forestfloor #red

I'm calling this one Community Support. We went walking in the Redwoods yesterday and saw several huge Sequioa. I'm trying to use composition to show all levels of the forest equally. #art #drawing #pencildrawing #redwood #redwoodforest #sequioa #livinggiant #tinylife #fern #rhodadendron #forest #pnw #temperaterainforest #beepaper #nature #drawingnature #sketch #pencilsketch #tree #ecology #thrivetogether

Pieltre, the purple space cat. This started as a pencil drawing (I posted it previously) and ended as a digital drawing. #cat #catdrawing #catpainting #digitalart #illustration #purple #spaceart #redbubble
