So pretty!
Bugs! It’s day 11 of #ArtAdventCalendar and it’s time for more bugs. And plants, of course. I took inspiration from a fabric pattern and changed up the colours for this one.

It’s dreary, rainy, and grey here in Seattle, but this work of Joy reminds me of warm evening sunsets on Maui.

"Disco Lemonade" is inspired by a phrase from a 1997 hit song by Marcy Playground. I love the phrase (and song!) so much, I had to paint it.

I nursed this orchid after it was damaged and left with one stem. Over the next few months, with the right amount of watering and moving to different spots for light and temperature, it began to grow new shoots and has bloomed magnificently. Nature’s resilience and beauty always astound me. 🌺 #life

Really proud to be one of the many backers of Matthew A. Cherry's upcoming project. If you loved his Oscar winning animated short, Hair Love, please back Time Signature!
Checked on my DMs on the other place and saw a personal message from Oscar-winning creator Matthew C. Cherry.

He's launching a Kickstarter campaign for a new musical animated short, and from he told me about the project, it sounds phenomenal & worth supporting.

Time Signature - Animated Musical Short/Proof Of Concept
Animated musical about a teen prodigy who uses a magical piano to rewrite her mom's past through time loops & revive her love of music.

Best movie I have seen in ages, #BobTrevinoLikesIt --exquisite performances & story with a really sweet scene involving puppies, @darthbluesky.bsky.social

If so, this is it. See it in a theatre.
