Imaginary Animal

These fabulous moments captured by are bringing me back to last Friday’s opening at . You can’t go wrong with fabulous friends and fuzzy bunnies! ❤️🐰❤️🐰❤️

Kaleidoscope 9: Chicken Walker

Watercolor, gouache and pencil on paper

Swipe to see my inspiration for this one…Apparently I like to draw things at close to their actual size!

Well, I don’t know what to say except that last night’s opening was utterly fantastic. I want to thank everyone who showed support in any way… By sharing, encouraging, walking in the door, looking at my drawings, leaving with some to keep, petting bunnies (OMG, those bunnies!)…

It delighted me to the core seeing you look through all my little drawings, as the fun I have making them gently zapped your eyes and made you smile. I’m obviously still baking in the glow! 🥰

I thought it might be hard to part with these pieces, but I loved seeing what you choose (and sometimes hearing why). Especially sweet to hear that some will be given as gifts.

Anyway, here’s my next project- cleaning my desk so I can sit down and draw again! And also a handful of drawings I just couldn’t part with.

“The Good, The Bad and The Wiggly” will be up through the end of December at 💛❤️🧡

I’m so excited to invite you to my upcoming solo show: The Good, The Bad and The Wiggly

I’ll be sharing over 200 original drawings… Curious how I’m going to display them all?
Me, too! 🙈😂

Opening reception; November 7th 5-8pm
Come and pet real baby bunnies!! 🐰🐰🐰

I started a “Buy me a coffee” page as a way to be able to get tips from appreciative customers at work ( ) but quickly realized what a great place it is to collect & offer fun things like instant downloads (coloring pages and wallpapers, etc). Most will be free for everyone, but there will be bonus freebies, discounts and perks for those who go the extra mile and become “supporters” or “members”. 🙈🩷

I have a lot of ideas for buymeacoffee.com/mariegardeski and I’d love for you to check it out! 🥰

A bouquet I arranged for my parent’s 50th. 💐
And I’ve gotten a few request to see the list of memories you got a glimpse of in my previous post. So if you’re interested… 🥹😊

Heading to Michigan to celebrate my parent’s 50th anniversary! I love looking at these old photos. Such a cute couple! ❤️😍🎉

Had some requests for more Tiny Things prints, so here’s an 8x10” version of You Are A Treasure! I’m so used to looking at the greeting cards and postcards… it’s fun to see this arrangement a little bigger. 🔍👀

In stock at imaginaryanimal.etsy and on our line sheet.

I’m adding some 9x12” Small Stacks Still Life prints to our Etsy shop. Here’s the first batch!
