I want to introduce you to The Everlasting Creature!! An illustration project I am working on with author Caroline Wright @wrightcook A year ago Caroline Wright learned she had an aggressive brain cancer and a year to live. She spent her time writing stories toand leaving to her children. 6 months ago Caroline asked me to illustrate her children's book on love, loss, and how LOVE transforms. Check out Caroline's project on Kickstarter. 👉💛 http://kck.st/2spej8Z And thank you with all my heart to those who take the time to look at Caroline's project. #theeverlastingcreature #kickstarter #creaturesoflove #love #carolinewright #childrensbereavement #loveandloss #childrensbook #illustration #cutecreature #everlastinglove #willowswatercolors #cancer

The way I see myself is not the way I see myself..... I see myself with pink galaxy hair and starry freckles, and green bloodshot eyes with gobs of mascara. A work in progress, me and the painting. . . . #selfportrait #workinprogress #willowheath #willowswatercolors #willowheathportraits

More from the endangerd art series (a project with my little art students). These beautiful creatures are endangered. They depend on ice and it's melting, they depend on a healthy ocean and it's unhealthy. #stoparcticdrilling #teacherlife #endangeredart #worldwildlifefoundation #willowsartclass #savethenarwhals #narwhal #ocean #narwhal #polarbears #raiseawareness #watercolorartist #watercolor #illustration #willowheath #worldwildlifefoundation #cute #willowswatercolors

Baby bee watercolor! Today my class draws, paints, discusses, and learns about bees and bee conservation. Our beloved bees are in danger. Bees perform almost 80% of the pollination of plants world wide. #savethebees Simple changes such as planting more wild flowers, growing a garden, and not using dangerous pesticides can help to save our sweet bees. #endangeredspecies #willowsartclass #willowswatercolors #beeahero #savethebeessavetheworld #endangeredbees #bumblebee #honey #honeybee #babybee #cute #cutebee #beeart #watercolor #art #illustration #willowheath #bee #beeilustrTion
