Showing off some #Glow themed art for today's #BlueskyArtShow. I like shooting with cameras that have light leaks, and I love film stocks that tend to exhibit halation.

One more for today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme #glow

This is the first completed piece in a new series that I'm painting. I'll be releasing new work from this series around the 2025 winter solstice.

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Lighting the Dark" 20"x20" oil on linen (2025). This moody, abstract-leaning seascape painting has a textured, orange-toned, atmospheric sky with textured colors of light on the horizon. Light from the sky reflects in the water below as it meets a dark, rocky, tree-lined coast.

concept illustration sketch by Zoë Treez - 2025 in a bathtub lays a figure with blank eyes. the water is black and murky. leaves and moss grow around the tub. as if they’ve been laying there for a really really long time. their legs extend out of the tub and off to the left of the artwork. this drawing is for the Day 10 of Mabs Drawlloween Club, a month long halloween drawing prompt challenge. the theme was Black Water
