Stillness

Seascape with a long wooden pier stretching into calm, foggy waters under a pastel hued sky.

Dark clouds over a beach sandbar during sunrise.

Crocodillio’s grand day out

A green, clay crocodile partially submerged on the banks of a swamp, lit by the ebbing sunset in the background.

Foggy Autumn

An autumn landscape with a misty field in the foreground and a line of colorful trees in the background. The trees display vibrant fall foliage in hues of orange, yellow, and red. A light mist covers the field. A simple wire fence runs through the scene, partially visible amidst dry wildflowers and grasses. The sky is a soft blue.

Surfs Up!

A sailboat with detailed sails and a simple hull, drawn in black ink, gliding over stylized waves. The waves are filled with intricate patterns in shades of blue, green, and white, suggesting a mosaic-like texture. The background is mostly blank, highlighting the boat and the patterned section as the main focus. The piece is bordered by a black frame, adding contrast to the scene.

“Mind if I drop in?”

A cormorant flying downward, wings wide-spread, to join a fellow cormorant already perched upon a fallen tree limb at the edge of a pond. Their shadows reflect a mirror-image below in the water.

Corner Here and There: Reflections of Resilience and Transience

A painting of a mountain and river landscape. In the center of the image, people wade through waist-high water, carrying bags and children on their shoulders. On land, uniformed officers on horseback try to apprehend the people navigating the river.

Untitled

A watercolor artwork featuring woodland creatures having a picnic. In the foreground stands a sign with a note tacked on that says "this way to tea!". The checkered picnic blanket features tea and treats and is surrounded by a white mouse in a pink tutu holding a cup of tea, a round hedgehog with a green pointed hat eating a strawberry, and a brown shrew in a bonnet and blue dress carrying a pie. A grassy mound with a round wooden door sits in the background, and all around the creatures are tall blades of grass, flowers, and mushrooms.

Stillness in a World of Chaos

A calm lake framed by two wooden boathouses, with vibrant autumn trees reflecting on the water and steep, forested cliffs in the background.

Cape Shells

A sandy beach scattered with numerous seashells. The foreground is filled with various shells partially embedded in the soft sand, creating a textured appearance. In the distance, tufts of tall beach grass sway gently against a clear blue sky, adding natural simplicity to the scene. The focus is sharp on the details in the sand and shells, softly blurring the background.
