A Sketch With No Name Yet

A little sketch which I’ll work more on.  She has no name yet.  I’m drawing a blank as to what to call her.  Do you have any suggestions? Linking to: Friday Sketches

New Digital Art

Both of these pieces were done for Enchanted Visions. Illumination was April’s theme. Illumination by Tori Beveridge 2014 Frustration is this month’s theme. Frustration by Tori Beveridge 2014

Tangle Head

Over the weekend I took part in Ellen Million Graphics Sketch Fest #51.  I had hoped to have more time to spend, but as the garden and outdoor chores come first, I only had an hour and only time for one sketch. I chose the prompt “Zentangled Anything” by Tiffany Guin and came up with […]

Girl Friends

A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you just the way you are. Girl Friends by Tori Beveridge – 8 x 10 doodle on mixed media paper, done in ink and watercolor

Blue Princess

My love for fantasy, fairies and elves made me sketch this fairy tale princess.  Ink, acrylic and Faber Castell gel sticks on 5 x 7 mixed media paper. I call her ‘Blue Princess’ because of the obvious amount of blue I used and because she looks a little melancholy.

One Cup At A Time, Inspiration Block

A new inspiration block.  I love these little blocks of wood. Piled up cups.  I’m sure you’ve seen them before or maybe even created your own cup art.  There’s just something about tea and coffee cups and what they symbolize.  Slowing down.  Taking time to have a cup of tea and have a conversation with […]

My Fairy Art Mother’s Message

I love fantasy art and my digital work is full of fairies and elves, so I guess a fairy was bound to make her appearance in my doodle/sketch book sooner or later. She wasn’t a serious sketch.  She was a “just to doodle”, doodle, just for me, while I was watching television.  I started with […]

More Practice – To The Dreamer

To the dreamer, everything is possible. This piece was inspired by our first true spring day with blue skies and little fluffy clouds.  The message is so fitting right now, as I am up to my elbows in seeds and planting and organising for our other projects here at home and still trying to practice […]

Shine Your Light

Shine Your Light Done on 9 x 12 mixed media paper with acrylics, Faber Castell Pitt pens and brush pens, Faber Castell Gel Sticks, gesso and gel medium.  This wasn’t what I had in mind when I started this.  Totally different and I really like her.  She began to develop when I added the collar […]

She Had Faith In Herself

A new girl I painted over the weekend. I cut her out when I finished painting her.  I painted a background page and added her to it, along with some scraps, sentiments and washi tape.  I painted over it more than once.  I struggle with mixed media backgrounds so this was a great exercise for […]

Art Journal – Your Best Friend

I’ve started Tamara Laporte aka Tam Willowing’s free course,  ‘Art, Heart and Healing’  over at It’s exactly what I need, especially after the doubts and fears that went through me before I started working on the inspiration block I shared with you last week. The first lesson wasn’t easy.  Tam makes you face the negative […]

Inspiration Block

Hello My Friends! I can’t believe it’s been almost one year since I last spoke with you all. Obviously, I’ve had a lot going on in that time and while I haven’t been creating art as much as I would have liked to, I have set the ground work for new happenings in my life […]
