If happy were a colour, I'd vote for yellow! 💛 It seemed to be such a celebrated colour for femininity and awesoneness the eighties: Rainbow Brite's hair, She-Ra's crown, Orange Blossom's dress. Alas- it's not a colour I can wear!- 😭 but I'm so often drawn to it in books or accents on clothes, little slivers of happy to remind myself of the wonderful characters that inspire me. What's your happy colour and why do you love it? 🌈💕 . . . . . #orangeblossom #strawberryshortcake #yellow #orange #cancer #zodiac #horoscope #starsigns #enamelpin #lapelpin #etsyseller #etsyau #australianmade

Forever convinced my Grandmother Mary was a real-life faerie. Every flower I draw is a trip back to her little farmhouse garden. I miss her very much and still wish there were things I'd asked her, or just asked her again. The stories from her youth: rolling Maltesers down the aisles at the cinemas, wearing bloomers made from burlap flour bags, being awoken at night by a singing ghost in a crinoline- these are stories I try to hold onto and retell in some way. I wear one of her rings, but by far most precious of all the things she passed onto me was the love of flowers and a good story 🌹💕 . . . . . . #imusthaveflowersalwaysandalways #peonies #witch #witchsona #magicalgirl #purple #nostalgia #digitalart #digitalpainting #photoshop #artoninstagram

Laying down the first washes of colour: at once one of the most exciting, terrifying, tedious, frustrating and affirming parts of painting for me (I've come to accept frustration is key to my passions and the primary motivation to get shit done! 😉). Linework is like my chewing gum- something to mull over for a loooong time, when I can literally lose weeks perfecting swirls and flowing lines. Colour and lighting though: elusive and seductive mistresses that I'll forever keep chasing, hoping one day to be worthy enough just to know them a little 🎨🐙💕 . . . . . . #artstruggles #sneakpeek #wip #workinprogress #digitalart #digitalpainting #wacom #mobilestudiopro #photoshop #kyletwebsterbrushes #characterdesign #undersea #mermaid #childrensillustration #kidlitartist
