I had so much fun creating this mini collection. I love how the little bear characters turned out. I used human reference photos so get the poses right.
I really enjoyed the process of creating each bear character for the different poses so I will have to think of another sport that I can create animal characters for.
I have added the patterns to my Spoonflower shop the Collection "Baseball Bear League" - you can view the collection here - the patterns come in a few different colorways and scales.
I love the red feathers of this one and rather enjoyed the challenge of painting them too as you can't use white to lighten them.

Spotted Pardalote No 8 measures 6 x 6 inches and is painted on Colourfix Smooth paper.
I had fun painting this little guy. I took the reference photo for this one down by the one of the man-made lakes in my area - I have seen three species of Fairy wrens there - Superb Fairy Wren, Red Back Fairy Wren and this one the Variegated Fairy Wren.
I had fun creating these cute Cowboy Teddies.
I created a cheater quilt pattern with them in three colourways - blue, sage green and soft brown.
I had so much fun creating this pattern for the latest #Spoonflower Cottagecore Wallpaper challenge.
I took the photos of the geese years ago at property I stayed at in Deloraine, Tasmania. I always loved the pose of the one that is facing straight on but never quite got around to painting him in acrylics - he just seemed perfect for this pattern though.
I am planning on adding to this collection - I want to create a tossed version that just features the geese - just deciding if I use these three or add a few more poses into the mix
I have added 4 colorways with 3 scales to my #Spoonflower shop, and they can be found under the Designed Collection - Cozy Countryside .
I had so much fun creating this pattern. The little critter is a Jerboa—they look like miniature kangaroos but are actually rodents. With their big ears, they're just too cute. You’ll find them hopping around the deserts of North Africa and Asia.
I love how this one is perched on the branch—like he’s about to burst into song.
I actually painted this one last year but forgot to blog or list it—whoops!
Most of my time lately has been going into building my Surface Pattern design business and uploading new patterns to my Spoonflower shop. It has been full-on, but I have started to miss painting my birds. So going forward, I am planning to schedule in at least one painting session a month.

I had so much fun creating this repeat pattern for a Spoonflower challenge that closes on Wednesday. I had sketched out quite a few more animal characters but with the time frame I had I just went with couple of animals - over the next few weeks I complete the animal characters and make a little collection of "Woodland Animals".
I have added this pattern to my Spoonflower shop - https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/janetgraham
A sold my Red Headed Woodpecker a few weeks ago and the collector who purchased it also wanted a Juvenile one, so I painted this little guy.
