Even when the path is clouded and the stars feel far away, Celestina reminds us to lift our heads, shimmer with truth, and keep flying forward. She carries the light of the cosmos on her back, pieced together from fragments of wonder, pain, joy, and hope. Her message to us in uncertain times: “You don’t have to see the whole sky to trust that the stars are still there. Keep going. Keep glowing.”

Art 🧶 But Oblivion was not one to forgive. His spies, ever watchful, tracked Aaron through the Grove.
The people of Harmony Grove watched in awe and fear, for no one had dared challenge Oblivion’s enforcers before. Aaron vanished into the forest, his dark silhouette dissolving into the shadows, leaving behind only whispers of hope. But Oblivion was not one to forgive. His spies, ever watchful, tracked Aaron through the Grove. The golden bird, which the villagers came to call “Frida,” seemed to follow Aaron as if bound to his fate. Wherever he rested, Frida perched nearby, her melodic chirps weaving defiant harmonies into the somber air. Aaron was eventually captured. Brought before Lord Oblivion’s fortress, he was paraded through the Grove, shackled and beaten, his once-mighty figure slumped but unbroken. Oblivion decreed that Aaron’s punishment would serve as a warning. He would be chained to the heart of the Grove, his presence a monument to Oblivion’s power. Yet, as the villagers gathered to witness the sentencing, something remarkable happened. They began to sing—softly at first, then louder, a song inspired by Frida’s golden melodies. Their voices rose in defiance, echoing through the Grove, weaving together light and hope in the face of darkness. Aaron, though bound, stood taller than ever, his gaze meeting Oblivion’s with unwavering resolve. The people of Harmony Grove rallied around him. They saw not a man defeated but a hero unyielding. Aaron’s capture did not instill fear as Oblivion had hoped—it united the Grove. The golden bird Frida, perched high on a branch above, sang her brightest tune yet, her feathers shimmering like sunlight piercing the gloom. From that day on, Aaron’s name became a symbol of rebellion, his story told in every corner of the Grove. Lord Oblivion’s grip loosened, for no force could suppress the harmony that now bound the people. And in the heart of it all, Frida’s song continued to guide them, a testament to the unyielding spirit of Harmony Grove.

Hi Toby, thank you for doing this. So much great #art never seems to appear in the art feeds, not sure why. Looking forward to seeing everyones posts
This enchanting artwork by Anna Todaro Sadur seamlessly blends the natural world with symbolic imagery, capturing a profound sense of harmony and resilience. A vibrant bird, rendered with soft yet vivid brushstrokes, gracefully bears a mountainous landscape on its back, symbolizing the effortless strength in navigating life’s challenges. The mountain, textured with hues of green and muted blue, conveys both solidity and calm, its contours hinting at the permanence of nature’s forces. Delicate stars and blue flowers cascade from the mountain’s slope, trailing along the bird’s feathers, merging the celestial and terrestrial realms. This flow suggests interconnectedness, as if the universe is both supporting and carried by the bird’s movement. A small, glowing tent nestled among the greenery offers a human element—a nod to exploration, rest, and our place within nature’s vastness. The bird’s steady gaze and aerodynamic form express determination and grace, embodying the message that even the heaviest burdens can be carried with poise and beauty. Ethereal patterns and glowing elements further enhance the whimsical, dreamlike quality, making this piece a celebration of strength, balance, and the interconnected dance of life. #art

A story of Thanksgiving, read in the comments thread. #art #gratitude #hopeless #magical #optimism Painting by Anna Todaro Sadur (FridaSpock). Acrylic on Canvas. 18”x24”
This vibrant and whimsical painting of Abraham Lincoln by Anna Todaro Sadur radiates gratitude, optimism, and a celebration of life. Set against a glowing background of soft blues and greens, the scene evokes a feeling of renewal and hope, as if spring itself had infused the canvas with its energy. Lincoln is reimagined here not as a somber historical figure but as a symbol of gratitude and resilience. His expression, while reflective, conveys a quiet optimism—a man who has endured trials but remains steadfast in his belief in the goodness of humanity. The painter’s choice of soft, radiant hues around his face highlights his humanity and warmth, bridging the gap between a revered leader and the everyman. The top hat, a signature of Lincoln’s, has been transformed into a playful, flower-filled accessory. Bright orange blossoms burst forth, adorned with pink petals that appear to float like confetti in the breeze. These flowers seem to grow from his hat as if to say, “Even the weight of responsibility can give rise to beauty.” It’s a reminder of gratitude even in the face of adversity—a thanksgiving for the small joys and the promise of regrowth after hardship. The soft floral accents throughout the background create a dreamlike, ethereal setting. Delicate flowers in various shades of blue and yellow suggest the promise of abundance and renewal, while the faint sparkle effects evoke a sense of magic and wonder. Each bloom whispers a story of perseverance and joy, a thanksgiving for the beauty that surrounds us even in challenging times. This painting is a visual ode to gratitude and optimism. Through her playful yet poignant portrayal of Lincoln, Anna Todaro Sadur reminds us to cherish what we have, to find beauty in the mundane, and to hold space for hope even in the darkest of days. The work resonates as a heartfelt Thanksgiving message, inviting us to reflect on our blessings and the boundless potential for growth and renewal in our lives.

📝💫Lucricia, Sofía’s young daughter, watched from the shadows as the soldiers trampled through the grove. “Mama, why don’t we stop them?” she whispered.

“Because their strength is fleeting,” Sofía replied. “Ours is eternal. They destroy what they see, but they cannot touch what lives in our hearts.”

A warm, glowing scene set within a red, womb-like room created by artist Amy Jorgensen. The space features flowing, fabric-like textures illuminated with soft, red lighting, evoking a comforting and organic ambiance. At the center, Kindra is seated and holds a bright, spherical object resembling the sun or a glowing orb, radiating an ethereal golden light. Subtle string lights enhance the mystical atmosphere.

Looking back at my work; I do have a high interest in #space #science #spacetravel Here are a few: An #alien skater girl: Promise Pink/ A living #spaceship sketch/ #Cyanidium: From yellowstone park and it really does look green and oozy like that (not alive, not really dead either, kinda both)
A whimsical painting by Anna Todaro Sadur titled “Promise Pink.” It features an alien skater girl in bold, colorful attire, surrounded by vibrant orbs and set against a radiant pink background. Her surreal pose captures movement and grace, blending playful patterns and imaginative energy. A vibrant drawing by artist Anna Todaro Sadur featuring a living, organic spaceship in flight. The design combines natural and futuristic elements, with a bird-like form rendered in soft blues, greens, yellows, and pinks. The ship’s body is adorned with intricate patterns and textures that suggest both feathers and mechanical details, blending the organic with the technological. Flowing wings extend gracefully, trailing ribbons of energy, while abstract star shapes and sparkles surround the ship, emphasizing its movement through a cosmic space. The playful, imaginative style evokes a sense of wonder and exploration. Signed “Sadur” in the bottom left corner. A captivating painting by Anna Todaro Sadur inspired by Yellowstone National Park’s Cyanidium, a thermophilic organism found in the park’s hot springs. The artwork juxtaposes a serene, misty landscape of distant hills and geothermal features with an abstract, swirling depiction of Cyanidium in rich green hues. The bottom half of the canvas features the organism’s ethereal form blending seamlessly with the surrounding geothermal activity, evoking its microscopic presence and role in the ecosystem.
