Finito 😎🖤🤘🏽I took a long time on this one but I really wanted to practice my skills of attention to detail and realism.

Eagles 🦅 spiritually represent freedom, higher perspective, strength and an enlightened viewpoint.
I thought it was special sitting on her shoulder 😊

Photos straight from Madrid. I am over the moon that my art works were shown again at the @vangoghartgallery
In Madrid.
I really look up to Van Gogh as he himself was known to have Bipolar Disorder 💕 in a time were they did not have the medicine help him.
And his art works are still making an impact on people today and shown all around the world 🌻🌻

This makeup look by an incredible Aussie makeup artist @tyra.mua she’s iconic for her amazing makeup using the boldest colours and creative techniques.
Her lip syncing to Kath and Kim audio is my fav. 😀💖

I hadn’t done a coloured portrait in a while and how could I not go past this beautiful display of colour.
The blue eyeliner and of course pink in all its glory.

Inspired by the new pink haired diva @adelahq
The new sultry voice and sexy style has us all swooning
💖💖💖

Used @prismacolor pencil of course, the best pencils for blending ✏️

Saruman drawing challenge complete 😅
Had so much fun creating the scenes from my fav series the Lord of the Rings.

It has inspired me to try other movies, like Alien! 👽
Drawing a Xenomorph would be really cool in greyscale.

I’m also doing some dancer paintings more for sales cause they sell well and of course hats for the markets coming up for Chrissy.

Finito 🖤✏️🐍 are snakes is your spirit animal? They are watching and helping you.

They are powerfully whispering wisdom helping your transformation, stepping into your new beginnings, this rebirth you are not like your old self.

Your new self is healed and wiser opening clearer doors and closing stale meaningless past memories. ✨

The past is behind you, step forward and remember there is no need to look back ✨🐍🖤
