Peculiar Creature. Gouache on cradled panel. 6x6"

 

I am thinking of calling them Monsteras because I currently have a aroids fever! Those who know could definitely relate!

Due to COVID 19 situation, there has been a rise of plantfluencers, or people who basically collect, grow and likely sell cuttings of rare plants, especially in the aroids department - which include but not limited to Monstera (of course!), Philodendron, and Alocasia. 

Other super worthy collectible plants also include Hoyas, Begonias, Cacti, and Succulents. 

This would be Monster Nyala - as the horns and ears are inspired by the Mountain Nyala. 

Who exactly is the peculiar creature here?

In my world, Monsteras are the smaller creatures, could be on all 4s or could be bipedal, walking on 2s just like you and me. They would be extremely fun to sculpt when my home studio has finished renovating!

Concerned Citizen. Oil on cradled panel, 6x6".



 

These little creatures are basically things with 4 legs and I have added antlers/ horns and ears based on real animals.

I have a fascination with any animals from the bovidae family, which is basically all single toe ungulates. Examples of those are deer, cows, goats, sheep and antelopes. 

But the shape of these creatures are mostly inspired by my dog who is basically a ball of fur when he is laying beside me.

The Curious Lightbringer. Oil on Panel, 8x10"

 

Starting the Daily Painting exercise as a way to fill my time while waiting for the arrival of my baby. I am at 35 weeks when I have completed this painting. 

My ceramic studio has still not yet begun its renovation and this was a way to keep my artist creative. Aside from ceramics, I also keep a collection of artist supplies just in case my creative ticker tells me to use another medium at any time. This is actually the first time I have completed a painting in water soluble oils, and it sure feels great to have finally complete a painting in this medium.
