not sure what to do? i will take the overriding nays or yays. Do i use AI to write descriptions on Alttext ? It does a much nicer job than i do esp as once a painting is done i am sick of looking at it for a couple months . please read alttext written by chat on this oil painting just finished
This oil painting shows a two-masted schooner named “BLUENOSE” sailing swiftly across open water. The ship is centered and angled from left to right, creating strong movement and purpose. The Ship Tall white sails billow in the wind, painted with soft creams, grays, and hints of blue to suggest light through canvas. Dark rigging lines add structure against the sky. The hull features rich brown and reddish tones, contrasting with the cool sea. Fine white deck details and visible skylights show careful brushwork. The name BLUENOSE appears clearly near the bow. The Ocean The sea is textured and energetic, with thick brushstrokes in deep blue and teal. Waves crash against the hull, forming bold white foam. Navy, emerald, and white blend to show churning, wind-driven motion. Heavy paint suggests palette knife or impasto techniques. The Sky Lavender, violet, pale blue, and white sweep across the sky. Loose, expressive clouds echo the sea’s movement. Cooler tones near the horizon shift to warmer purples above, adding depth. The sky feels windy and alive. Background A distant shoreline in muted greens and sandy tones sits in the background, softly painted to keep focus on the ship. Overall Mood The painting expresses movement, strength, maritime pride, and coastal atmosphere. Warm wood tones contrast with cool sea and sky, creating harmony. The scene feels powerful, nostalgic, and full of wind and motion.

Here's to burning 2025 to the ground and hoping 2026 rises out of the ashes as something better.

An acrylic painting depicting an abstracted image of a tree engulfed in flames. The painting composition is of a centrally situated inky silhouette of a burnt tree trunk and horizontal branches set against a pale orange background. The tree is surrounded by gold-ish swarms of lozenge shapes overlapped by pale yellow squiggles that swirl around the tree. Curling crimson squiggles moving up from the bottom right and around the tree on the right and left.

Tried using a palette knife for the first time for the October #BirdWhisperer challenge. Have to say I really loved the textures it created and more abstract result.

This one came out a bit freaky. What do you think? Too much smudge? #art #painting #vampire #halloween

I have a darker side when I paint! Should I do more like this?
#art #vampire #halloween #painting
©Zenya™ Arts watercolor painting of a female vampire shown from the shoulders up, centered in the frame. Her skin is pale with a bluish undertone, rendered in soft, blended washes that give her an ethereal, undead quality. Her long, dark hair flows past her shoulders in loose waves, painted with layered strokes of black, brown, and deep blue. A few strands fall across her face, adding a touch of imperfection and realism. Her eyes are striking blood-red with a glossy sheen set beneath dark, slightly furrowed brows. Shadows around her eyes deepen her haunting gaze, which is direct and intense. Her nose is slender and subtly curved, and her lips are parted to reveal elongated fangs stained with fresh blood. A thin trickle of blood runs down her chin, painted in vivid crimson that contrasts with her cool-toned skin. Her ears are pointed and slightly elongated, hinting at her supernatural nature. She wears a vintage-style dress in muted burgundy, with a square neckline that exposes her collarbones. The fabric is textured with loose brushstrokes and subtle creases, giving it a worn, gothic elegance. The background is a softly blurred wash of earthy tones beige, gray, and light brown with areas of the paper left exposed, enhancing the watercolor effect. The overall mood is eerie and melancholic, with a few intentional flaws in the brushwork such as a slight unevenness in her left eyebrow and a faint smudge near her jaw adding depth and character to the portrait.

Shutdown = The Mussolini playbook

“With 300,000 young men, armed to the teeth, ready for anything, I could have shut up Parliament and formed a Government exclusively of Fascists.”

He soon did. For 20 years.
