I still talk to you in my sleep, I don't say much 'cause the hurt runs too deep. I gave you the moon and the stars to keep, but you gave them back to me. and I still lay on my side of the bed, I dance alone when the last bottle's spent memories like a river runnin' through my head I'll have me an ocean before I'm dead

Everything from my shop is shipped out in 1-3 days after purchase and comes gift-wrapped in a hand painted box! Thanks for all the support, lovelies🖤 It really is very much appreciated.
One day I’ll paint something other than animals and starry skies, but today is not that day. Also I got new socks.
I definitely have not gotten the hang of long exposure star pictures yet, but I still really like this picture. You can't really take a bad picture of the sky. Unspeakable beauty and all that.
City of stars Are you shining just for me City of stars There's so much that I can’t see Who knows Is this the start of something wonderful and new Or one more dream that I cannot make true..

Hand-painted Astrological Sign Magnets are up in my shop now! Each magnet features a different astrological constellation painted with acrylic paint onto a 1.5″ aspen tree woodcut. :) | Etsy Shop
Just a quick thank you to everyone who purchased something from my shop last week, I can’t tell you how much it means.💛 I’m going to try to make some more of the things that have sold out, so hopefully there will be an update sometime next week!
Night Sky
-clear resin and powdered dye set in a backless silver frame. I was planning on adding this to the etsy update coming up but I’m getting quite attached to it..I may have to just make another one.
Also I made this matching Night Sky necklace/earring set today with resin and powdered dye and they turned out better than expected! To be fair the bar was low to begin with, but still.
I still have quite a bit of work to do detail wise, but I’m reasonably pleased with how this painting is turning out so far. :)
Here’s a tiny painting/doodle I did of a sleeping cat in outer space. I don’t know why.

I was painting a canvas black this morning to prep for a portrait and I accidentally set my hand down in a giant glob of black paint and instead of washing it off like a rational person I just spread it out over my whole hand and added stars. It looked moderately cool for about 3 minutes and then it was just a nightmare to get out from under my fingernails.
I made this tiny tree-cut magnet for a friend this morning, because I miss her. And because owls.
Just packed up Hercules the Hummingbird and Starry Owl pt. 2!
I’m a selfish creature by nature so it can be hard to part with artwork, but I’m very happy to be sending these two off to their new homes!
ALSO: Every purchase from my etsy shop comes with a personalized hand-drawn thank you card (i.e. the little moon and bunch of poppies pictured above)
