"Daily drawings and paintings by Joan Yoshioka"
About Me
- Joan Y
- Hawaii, United States
- Hi! I'm an outdoor-lovin' optimist, biologist/botanist, and habitual creator of art-stuff. I believe the key to our most fundamental and truest part of ourselves is found in nature and I constantly draw on it for inspiration. "Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more". - Vincent van Gogh
Want to purchase artwork?
Just shoot me an email at joanyoshioka(at)gmail(dot)com! The oil paintings were painted with artist grade paints on cotton canvas with sides painted black so they don't have to be framed; they hang perfectly with a little nail (not pretentious at all!). Watercolors are on Arches 140 lb. watercolor paper using artist grade paints; the art cards are sent out in a sturdy plastic art card sleeve. If you'd like the original watercolor matted, please let me know. All prints are giclee meaning they are made with archival pigment dyes and are professionally mounted on acid free foam board with acid free mats in a clear cellophane envelop. Please note that the colors in the originals may differ from your screen.
Welcome!

just beautiful.
i want to come back and look at your other drawings. this is wonderful - makes me want to take out my pencil
How do you resist drinking it long enough to draw it...or is the cup really empty!! :) Excellent drawing.
Thanks Tracy, D, and Dave. D, the CD player was on ... Janis Joplin singing Bobby McGee. Dave, notice I added a few stains? There's no way I could wait. I am incapable.
Wow, I really love (but am severely intimidated by) your photo-realistic style! Wonderful work.
Gosh this is good. Some lovely pencil work going on in this. Love the rocks too!
My gosh, it's like a B&W photo! You are very talented, wow. :)
Mahalo Casey, Andrea, and Laserone! I really appreciate the kind words. :)
That sure looks like a photo to me--lol! You got some mad drawing skills gurl!
Mahalo Mociehocie! Your comment made me smile. Thanks for the vote of confidence. :)
