Persian Birds



In my researching of peacocks for this commissioned portrait of a dear friend of mine, I discovered that peacocks were once referred to as the bird of Persia, which is apt because she is too ^_^

Pas De Deux


Well I would have liked to get this done earlier, but Christmas snuck up on me faster than usual. Anyways, it's inspired by my favourite piece from The Nutcracker Ballet. You can tell listening to it that Tchaikovsky was a hopeless romantic.

Merry Christmas!! oxox

Mermaid Consoles the Unicorn



"A mermaid AND a unicorn? Are you MAD?" Perhaps. I've seen this theme explored by other artists but I found their compositioning awkward, understandable when trying to pair a tall land creature with a legless, sea-dwelling one. I wanted to throw my hat in the ring. I find it difficult to clothe mermaids, seems too Disney-ey, not "realistic" (because as we all know mermaids ARE real. *cough*)
