My little sister Saffron created this portrait of me 🥰💓🦋🦜. There are so many thoughtful personal details, look closer (swipe right, tell me what you pick up on)!!!

I'm feeling very loved that my little sister would create this for me and of me and inspired by her self-directed dedication to teach herself her chosen art form.

This is a digital drawing on a tablet, with a stylus (I think that's what you call it!?, she can correct me and I'll change this! 🤣😜). The brushes are all digital... I sound like an old lady, don't I!?

Saffron was born when I was 21!!! She did this for me when she was 16 (now recently turned 17!!)

Her Instagram for her art :
Another favorite piece she has done that I love, you can see on her Instagram is the human representation of her dog as a character!!! 🤩

The 3rd pic I posted here is a picture of us together last year 🩷🩷🩷 I love having a little sister. I also have two much younger brothers, as well as my 'little' (not little, he is quite tall) brother I grew up with (very creative too!). 💙🩵💜

This is Brian with his 'Butterfly Wing-Scales' painting🙏🏻🦋! We have been sharing inspiration and enthusiasm on microscopic beautiful things! 🔬📷 Brian takes incredible photographs under the microscope - including butterfly and moth scales! This 3rd image is one of his photos. I will also share a video (he has given me permission) to re-post - you will love it 🤩🙌🏻, its so magical! It shows you some of the (loose) inspiration for my Butterfly Wing-Scale series 😁!
