I’ve wanted to paint this sweet little duo for a while – a glowing gummy bear and a cheerful honey bear bottle. Their warm, happy colors just felt like sunshine.
I staged them with dramatic light to play up their reflections and glow. And yes, gummy bears were harmed in the making of this piece – my husband and I may have eaten most of the props.

Greetings friends! I’m thrilled to share my latest painting, “Feline Fiction.” This piece captures a serene moment—a cat resting on a desk, enthralled by the book beneath his paw, with a steaming cup of coffee on his side. The background features a bookshelf and a window casting a beautiful sunlit backlight through the cat’s fluffy fur and the steam from the coffee, creating an ethereal glow. This piece is just a little reminder to appreciate the simple pleasures in life—a good book, a warm drink, and a peaceful afternoon. I hope this piece brings a smile to your face and a sense of calm to your heart.

I’m excited to share my latest painting, featuring a pair of rabbits diligently using a watering can to nurture a terracotta pot containing four-leaf clovers. This piece symbolizes creating your own luck, reminding us that the magic we seek often comes from our own efforts and care. Bathed in golden light streaming from a window, the scene is suffused with a gentle mist, creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. The rabbits, focused on their task, are set on a table where a few drops of water on the table catch and reflect the light, adding a touch of spontaneity to the scene. Surrounding the main scene are other plants, creating a vibrant environment that emphasizes growth and nurturing. I hope this piece brings a smile to your face and reminds you that luck often comes from the love and care we put into the things we cherish.
Until next time, may your days be filled with creativity, joy, and a bit of luck. Stay tuned for more updates on my upcoming works!

I’m thrilled to introduce my latest painting which captures a heartwarming scene of a family of three raccoons gathered around a campfire. This piece is particularly special to me, as it evokes feelings of nostalgia and the simple joys of childhood memories spent with family. This painting was inspired by my own cherished memories of camping trips with family. There’s something incredibly nostalgic about sitting around a campfire, roasting marshmallows, and sharing stories under a starlit sky. These moments, filled with laughter and warmth, are often the highlights of our childhoods.
I wanted to capture that sense of wonder and joy in this piece. The excited young raccoon symbolizes the innocence and enthusiasm we all felt as children, while the watchful parents represent the comforting presence of family. I paid particular attention to the lighting and color palette in this painting. The cool-toned blue background contrasts beautifully with the warm glow of the campfire, creating a balanced and harmonious composition. The hazy atmosphere adds a touch of magic, making the scene feel almost dreamlike.
Stay tuned for more updates on my upcoming works!
