Artist/crafter. I started drawing as a child and haven’t stopped. Exploring how to make and fix things while trying not to add any new hobbies. You have to be willing to be bad at something in order to be good at it.

Nighttime skies in the country are so spectacular on a clear night. I couldn’t sleep and when I stepped out of my tent was once again amazed by the beauty of the world.

Hahahaha! My creative process is messy. 😬❤️

An original oil painting by Canadian artist Nicki Ault depicting a prairie landscape of blowing grasses and foliage. The overall tone of the scene is warm and golden with a light, cool sky above.

You’ve captured that golden wheat/canola/prairie colour. Beautiful!

I wonder if all creative brains struggle with something similar. Too many ideas to humanly do. Getting started and jumping to others without finishing. Getting stuck because there’s too many possibilities.

It was grim but worth every second watching it. So well done.

Now there’s a mood! Stay out of that bird’s way. 😬

The first of many little sculpturey things that I made. How does a person decide what to create? Becoming lost in the making of something. Deciding not to worry about whether someone else will like it or pay for it. Just having fun with making something. #art #creativity #mouse #alittleodd

A little bumblebee sculpture. Made from wool, wire, paper, pea glue, and some natural materials.

Good morning, saw this little lady yesterday. A female Meadow Brown. Interesting fact, the females of this species of butterfly will very seldom leave the area they were born in, whilst the males will travel much further afield. #butterfly #FloralFriday #FlowersOnFriday #photography #EastCoastKin

A brown butterfly with two bright orange eyespots on its wings is perched on a slender plant stem, surrounded by lush green grass and foliage. The butterfly’s wings are open, revealing a slightly worn texture, while a pinkish clover flower is visible in the lower right corner of the image.

This is beautiful!! It’s important for the insects that pollinate to have plants native to your part of the world. North America lost so much of its native species when the Europeans and then everyone else showed up.
