My name is Root; I draw and paint things. This tumblr is exclusively for the posting of my watercolor illustration. Everything in it is stuff I’ve done, nothing is reblogged. Please flip through the archives, there is a lot to see! See also: duskchapel.tumblr.com for unwatercolored scribbles and mostly reblogs.

I went and created <a href="http://duskchapel.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">a second tumblr</a> that is mostly reblogs but also some non-watercolor scribbles if you’re into that. I should warn you that sometimes the reblogs are political, and like many artists and tumblr users, I’m waaaaaaay liberal.  I would not be offended if you chose to only follow me here!</p>http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/51254401473http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/51254401473Fri, 24 May 2013 15:21:00 -0700gryphonarchaiillustrationwatercolorfurry artgriffinsnow leopardfalconmerlin falconfacepalm<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdlqaiZri01qh6ocfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Fox cannonball.</p>http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/35865198062http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/35865198062Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:25:30 -0800foxtjfoxxxxfurry artfurrywatercolorcutecartoonpondcattails<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdg8h518sS1qh6ocfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Fox eats cookies.</p>http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/35663528505http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/35663528505Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:12:41 -0800foxchocolate chip cookiescookieschocolate chipwatercolorcutefurry artfurrypark bench<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdc7c500Py1qh6ocfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Scubacoon.</p>http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/35500885303http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/35500885303Sun, 11 Nov 2012 10:57:41 -0800snorkelingswimmingunderwaterwatercolorcoral reeftropical fishfurryfurry artraccoontrunks<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md8khp51WW1qh6ocfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Fox goes for walks.</p>http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/35351681791http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/35351681791Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:51:25 -0800foxschoolautumnwatercolorfurryfurry artcutebackpackrucksackglassesfallwhite picket fence<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_md7a0z8kPF1qh6ocfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Corgs.</p>http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/35315590518http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/35315590518Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:07:47 -0800corgidogtricolorfurryfurry artwatercolorcutecartoonshovelplaidflannel<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m695diaowL1qh6ocfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Commissioned interior!</p>http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/25968149329http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/25968149329Tue, 26 Jun 2012 18:27:18 -0700interiorwatercolorleather chairsfour-poster bedmouldingrug<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3pjgxIJq61qh6ocfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A fox hunt!  Commissioned work.</p>http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/22657736325http://dawnchapel.tumblr.com/post/22657736325Tue, 08 May 2012 09:49:01 -0700foxwatercolorsteampunkautomatahoundssepiafurryillustration<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3ivw9RYiJ1qh6ocfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Raccoons love garbage!
