Talia Baerg

An illustration of Captain Hook lounging in a wooden chariot with a crow sitting on a perch. The Captain has an irritated expression, with curly black hair and a curled black moustache. He's wearing a patched red coat, pointed black boots and a bunch of gold rings.

Captain Hook, his hair dressed in long curls, which at a distance looked like candles, lay at his ease in a rough chariot drawn by his men, and instead of a right hand he had an iron hook.

Here's another Peter Pan illustration for #bkspeterpan

An illustration of 6 little boys wearing bear suits, playing together outside. The smallest boy is sitting reading "the jungle book"

"the lost boys are forbidden to look in the least like Peter, they wear the skins of bears, in which they are so round and furry that when they fall, they roll"

A bunch of lost boys in bear suits #bkspeterpan

Thank you Mara!

Gouache illustration of a cityscape at night, everything is a shade of blue with yellow lit windows. The small figures of the three children are flying above the buildings towards a bright star.

Text over a purple/white background reading: "At first Wendy, John, and Michael trusted Peter implicitly, and so great were their delights of flying that they wasted no time circling around church spires or any other tall objects on the way that took their fancy."

I loved painting this piece, it felt very relaxing, and I think it's relaxing to look at too 😌

Hand drawn illustration of a green clad, cheerful boy squatting in a tree, handing a berry to a squirrel. He's holding an upper branch that is oozing sap.

Text on green background, "Peter Pan was a lovely boy, clad in skeleton leaves and the juices that ooze out of the trees."

I'm taking part in the #bkspeterpan illustration challenge over on IG but I'll post here too 🧚🏽‍♂️🐊🧜‍♀️🏴‍☠️

A colorful sign that says Talia Baerg Art at the top, with the words Cards, Stickers, Prints, and Frames in the middle. The border is painted with cute symbols like a mushroom, cat, flowers, and a snail.

I just painted this new sign for a market I have this weekend. It definitely looks homemade but that's kind of my vibe haha. Just a few tweaks to do.

Wow that light through the trees is amazing!

Do two versions! 😄

This is an unfinished piece that is kind of an exploration of material (gouache). It is the first piece I started this year in January when I was struggling to find inspiration. I don't like everything about it but I'm hoping to keeping working on it in between other work.

I love the colors and framing in this one!

I always enjoy taking part in the "Once Upon a Winter" challenge from Orange Beak Studio. It's fun to create a story out of the six prompt words, I never know whats going to come out of my brain haha. I find that it makes me push myself with using different styles and techniques.

Going to post some of my most recent work here, including this "Once Upon a Winter" series

Hello blue sky!
