Mandie LaRue Art

I finally finished it... I think. Haha! It has been harder to work lately, because I haven’t been feeling very well as of late. 

My little buddy is hanging out with her auntie today, I miss my sidekick, but I am getting a chance to do some painting. It has been great to have some time to work. Thanks @sharkbait4215! #art #digital #mucha #artnouveau #angel #redhead #fantasy #stars #illustration #artist #mommyartist

I love trees, the more beat up and gnarled the better. It is amazing to me that the tough times and trials just make them more interesting and beautiful. #naptimesketch #sketchbook #trees #ideas #artist #mommy #artistsofinstagram #graphite #drawing #treehugger #trees #minnesota

Today, Nathaniel and I took Indie to the "free zoo", also known as the pet store. It was so fun watching her reactions to the animals. My favorite of the visit was a ferret. He was so friendly and cute. Too bad the smell a little funky, and that Willow would not appreciate another animal in the house. #ferret #petstore #familyfun #doodle #sketch #mandielarue #ideas #sketchbook

This is how all my paintings start out. Little thumbnail ideas. #thumbnail #sketchbook #ideas #paintingprocess #mandielarue

Did this dude just ask me to do his homework for him? Who does that!?!

Pretty much done! A fun little sketch/painting. I might have to do more of these mini paintings. #acrylicink #owl #owlpost #harrypotter #barnowl #instaart #artistofinstagram #art #de-stress #mandielarue

I have been away for a while, life has just been nuts. So today I decided to de-stress by painting a mini painting. Harry Potter inspired. It isn't finished yet, but it is coming along. #WIP #harrypotter #owl #owlpost #nightsky #stars #magic #fanart #minipainting #destress #art #artistofinstagram #instaart #acrylicink

I painted this as when we were starting over in a new city, and a new baby on the way. This painting is all about new beginnings, and rising from the ashes. #phoenix #illustrator #watercolor #painting #art #artist #minnesota #harrypotter #fawkes
