This piece was a fun commission from a super kind client I received in the middle of all the madness in the world. It was a great to look at Norman Rockwell's paintings for inspiration and looking up Canadian flowers.đ· Done with gouache and watercolor pencils. â It was a great reason to pull out the Rockwell books. I'll gladly take more related to artists on my bookshelf ! . . #EricaBottger #art #arte #Painting #illustration #EricaPaints #Instart #normanrockwellinspired #gouache # summer #nostalgia #poolparty #commissionart #bookshelftour

This was part of my last assignment for the color theory class I took with @brentwatkinson . That week was madness - I was moving the day after the class ended so I opted for editing a piece I had rolling around in my unfinished files. â â It's a small series of birth flowers and birth stones. Born from my downtime as a florist and my love of rocks. â Man oh man - I'm glad I tried to apply the color theory to digital work while still in class . It took a bit of adjusting but I think it's still clicking!

The letter Z for the #EndangeredAnimalAlphabet #series : Zullich's blueâ â These lovely little butterflies are found in Spain and are part of the lycaenidae family . And.... That's all you get. â The wikipedia page is a sentence and the last sighting was in 2013-2015? I'm honestly not even sure if I painted the correct butterfly. There's so much of this world we don't know about. It's constantly evolving and shifting around us. â â Remember to take a moment and look around at the world from the butterflies to the tigers to your loved ones đâ â Happy Valentines day . â â â â #EricaBottger #art #arte #Painting #illustration #EricaPaints #butterflyâ #AllYouNeedIsLoveâ #OneFinishedSeriesâ

For Valentine's Day why don't I give a little bit of love back with the last two of the Endangered Animal Alphabet Paintings! â â The letter Y for the #EndangeredAnimalAlphabet #series : Yellow Margined Box Turtleâ â Also known as the Chinese box turtle and shĂŹshĂ©guÄ« (~snake-eating turtle). The lifespan of this turtle is unknown but it is closely related to the Asian Box Turtle which can live for over 100+ years.â â These turtles are threatened by habitat loss as well as harvesting by humans for a variety of reasons. Consumption, traditional medicines, and the pet trade all contribute to the wild population's decline. â â #EndangeredAnimalAlphabet #EricaBottger #art #arte #Painting #illustration #EricaPaints #Instart #endangered #animals #turtle #HumansSucksSometimesâ â - Information found from allturtles.com
