Oh gosh I forgot this social media existed… Hello? Yeah sorry, I’m experiencing an extreme artblock/mental breakdown and I don’t think I’ll be able to draw or paint again. Might delete this account in the end, idk yet

I turned 28 today. ☄️

Why is every adhd person like this

This month's #BirdWhisperer is the turkey vulture! He looks cold, or maybe I'm just projecting lol (Ref photo by PublicDomainImages) 🦢🐡 #art #birds

Capybara family by the river. A commissioned piece I recently completed. For my friends in the US who wonder, yes I DO still ship to to you! So no worries to order work from me or my webshop, it will arrive :) Watercolor and colored pencil on Hahnemuhle cold pressed paper
 11.8″ x 8.3″ (30 x 21 cm)

“Ah well Lauren you have a large following so it’s different.” Yeah true but I may have just gotten a client job based on a piece I did before I “got big” and barely got any likes. A piece at the time that was a “failure.” You literally never know what might draw people in.

Hey artists Just keep posting. Last post didn’t get many likes? Keep posting. Not 100% happy with what you made? Post it. Feel like you aren’t getting anywhere? Keep posting. You never know who will find you and when.

This is one of my favorites, so I'm surprised I hadn't posted it here yet Study of a Wolf Conservation Center video, that I painted sometime in 2022

Waiting for pinecones

People who see somebody's artwork then has the utter audacity to feed it into a genAI machine and then post the result under the original creator should be publicly flogged. And not in a metaphorical sense.

A chipmunk showed up with a nut, cleaned its tail, and something about it made me paint without thinking too hard. Used QoR watercolors and Pentel water brushes in my A6 Etchr sketchbook. Felt like catching stillness mid-chaos. Like holding your own tail. #sciart

Not only that but they are trying to replace entry level and basic jobs with AI and somehow they didn’t think that would have an impact of the economy? Who the hell is going to buy your goods if you take out all that spending?

I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

I love seeing Olive-backed Sunbirds and their hanging nests, this drawing was done from a photograph my husband took on a trip to Queensland, such a beautiful garden bird 🤩 rachelhollis.com/product/oliv... #birdart #wallart #naturenart #artprints

The latest addition to my sketchbook! I draw like one page every few months, but eventually I will fill it 😤

Deep in the meadow, under the willow a bed of grass, a soft green pillow…

Apostlebirds are found across eastern Australia and are often found in groups of 12. Their big personalities make up for their lack of colour 🤎 rachelhollis.com/product/apos... #birds #australia #apostlebird #birdart #prints

"Everyone is doing AI" doesn't matter when there's no consumer demand for it. Slop is slop. Meanwhile quality artists pull the numbers ✌️

Snow leopard I drew lately for Jovian. Once again thank you for commissioning this amazing creature!

I haven't opened this app in months, i didn't expect all the notifications 🫣 hello everyone Since you guys seemed to like my other bird griffin post, here's some recent bullfinch mini griffins 🪶

Spotted this tufted titmouse in Sapsucker Woods a few weeks ago. I didn’t notice the band until I started this piece. Light washes in my A6 Etchr sketchbook with Pentel brushes. I always start with the eye and stop when it winks. Like trying to hold a moment still without hurting it. #sciart #birds

In progress.

Little Eggie! A little mushroom painting I did yesterday because I could.
