Artwork

Stuff I make.

Got back into gouache after forever. Why did I ever stop? Just a little practice, part from life, part fantasy. The fantasy part? Those red fairytale mushrooms ain’t edible, so don’t try it!

I haven’t posted in YEARS, but I think I might like being back. Here’s a self portrait I made when it was lovely and green in the world, sigh.

Made this in Clip Studio, which I started using a couple years ago and I absolutely love it.

Just warming up for a Sunday afternoon watercolor workshop. Time to pack up and go! #watercolor #teachingartist

Happy stick season! We'll be grateful when it snows. Until then here's a peek at the Artisans banner I created for #artontheriver in #bethelvt. You may recognize the view from the #blossomblock downtown! I included some process shots, too. For those who are curious I really enjoyed the opportunity to use graphic media, but I am a not-so humble #draftsman and I wield a fierce pencil! Many of the meaty bits in these designs were born as real drawings on actual paper. Sometimes I can work quickly and efficiently in digital, other times there's no substitute for drawing on paper and it can even save me time. Enjoy! And don't forget to check out the holiday sale in Bethel this weekend! #artists #artisans #artandcommunity #vermontmade (at Town of Bethel, Vermont)

Believe it or not it isn't winter yet, so here is a peek at the autumn themed banner featuring the Bethel Town Hall, created by me for #artontheriver #banners in #bethelvt . #artandcommunity is a wonderful thing. (at Bethel, Vermont)

The Bethel Apple was first brought to Vermont in the 1780s and is still cherished by growers in the know. See this and other banners created for Art on the River by following this link to my website http://www.tealemlynillustration.com/#/banners/ #artontheriver #bethelvt #banners

Ever see something unexpected happen along the way and you wish you could just follow it? But there's an objective, a clock that's ticking, and you just have to let it go. #artistproblems

Eating in your studio is a terrible practice and you should never do it. #butthebabyisstillasleep #artistmommylife #rebel #naughty #oopsidrankthepaintwater #justkidding
