    Relationship ended? Your time hasn't been wasted. The book ended. Now, you're the author of the best-selling sequel. Lessons learned, revisions were made, the writing is better... just like a very good story, it's evolving into an epic with a new direction.

    Finished butterfly. Approximately 6 hours from start to finish, and it is definitely the most intricate piece I have done to date.

    You will be happy to know that I am very pleased with how it turned out.

    ::Reintro Post::

    I am Saskya and I am a watercolorist. (It feels weird to say that 'cause I've only been doing it for a year and a half.)

    I paint florals, cute little critters, birds and a variety of other things that strike my fancy.

    You can find links for both originals and prints in my bio.

    a watercolor painting of a fallen branch. upon the branch are clinging five fall colored leaves. A watercolor painting of a blue heron. This is a profile view and he is facing to the left. a watercolor painting of a bright red and orange poppy. a watercolor painting of a butterfly. It's wings are painted in various shades of blue and gold and brown.

    For this year's bat appreciation day, I present to you a painting I did in 2023, when I was just beginning with my watercolors.

    A watercolor painting of an adorable fuzzy baby bat. He is hanging upside down from a branch with a few autumn leaves attached. He has his wings wrapped around his body as if he's chilly. His eyes are wide and adorable.

    Hi! I'm Saskya. It's Czech for "gray" or "star" depending on which dialect you're in.

    I decided in May '23 but I was going to try watercoloring. I've been doing it since and I absolutely am loving my journey. I've been dragging my best friend along with me!

    Here's a sample of my art:

    A watercolor painting of a stick that has fallen off of a tree. There are five leaves clinging desperately to the twig in fall colors A watercolor painting of a robin. He's perched on a branch with his head turned to the side. A watercolor painting of a butterfly in blues and reds and golds and oranges. A watercolor painting of a poppy. It is vibrant red and pale orange in various areas.

    I guess I'm ready for a new re-intro post. Does that make it a re-re-intro post?

    I have been painting with watercolors for just over 2 years now. I finally reached a stage where I am happy enough with my own art to hang it on my wall on 7-11-25. I guess it took me long enough! Lol

    Links in bio.

    A watercolor painting of a bearded iris. It's bottom petals or purple with blue high or low lights. The top petals are yellow with orange highlights. A watercolor painting of a cherry blossom branch. There are three open blooms and several buds stressed out along the length of the branch. There are a soft pink with darker pink shadows. A watercolor painting of a night Time Forest in the winter. Is snowing and obviously dark outside but there is a warm and inviting lantern shining in the darkness. A watercolor painting of a bluejay. He is very regal looking and has one wise looking eye as he is seen in profile. His chest and neck are white with cream and gray shadows while his feathers on his back head and his beak are all blue.
