Sunset At The Beach
In this Sunset At The Beach painting I learned about light and refraction. The crashing waves are not as smooth as I would like but I do like how the sun reflects off the wet sand.
Abstract Moon Scape
Another Abstract Moon Scape landscape piece as I learn from another tutorial. Several elements I like from this one. Made me think of Led Zeppelin’s “Misty Mountain Hop” song.
Moons Over The Mountains
A simple tutorial playing with shapes. I like the abstract element of this Moons Over The Mountains painting. Tried some different effects with the moon and stars in this landscape part of this as well.
City Cat In The Window
This is a new style for me to try based on some tutorials on YouTube. It’s kind of dark in the corner but there is a cat in the window there. Simple but learned some cool techniques. It seems each artist has their own way of doing things.

Birds in Tree
Back to another tutorial, more on depth and lighting. I thought this one was pretty cool.
Winter Tree
My own design applying more of what I learned using Procreate. Applying textures, depth of field, and lighting.
Winter Grassy Sunset
I liked this tutorial and the result. It made me think about several things, like placement of objects, and how objects appear in different lighting.
