Proof I’m alive and making art 🥲 these are all acrylic underpaintings waiting for oil paint (and actual final colors lol) and I am SWIMMING in them. Pro tip: instead of trying to finish a work of art and potentially failing, just start a new one! Works every time!

Next in my ongoing zodiac series, belated as usual, Cancer the crab! I personally struggle to relate to this sign the most and am therefore unsurprised that I struggled the most (so far) with this painting! Happy Saturday!

When you have time, the bookstores miss you.
When you have time, the misty moors miss you.
When you have time, the haunted seashores miss you.
When you have time, the soft raindrops falling on moss in the forest miss you.
They will wait, in quiet darkness, until you're ready.

We had a buck in our yard today! 🦌 He should’ve been more suspicious of me than he was given that I was wearing a coat similar in color to a mountain lion’s, js

Bluesky you deserve some fireflies in a cornfield. Not pictured-the young hawk chased away by robins, the enormous kale after the rain, the smell of the tomato plant leaves.

Making a separate post for this one because 1) I still don’t have BlueSky figured out and 2) this painting will be part of @gallerynucleus.bsky.social ’s Power in Numbers show at the end of this month (June 28!)! #PIN2025 Please enjoy these progress pics and check out the show if you’re in the area!

I plan to post at least one of my photos a day here on Bluesky. I design each of my photos using recent research into the benefits to mental health of looking at plants & patterns in nature.
Making my collections relaxes my noisy autistic+ADHD brain & they'll relax yours by looking at them here:

Here’s the first painting of 2025! Blue Jay and Blossoms. Oil on paper 🌸 P.S. I’m trying to avoid Meta as much as possible and it’s just as well since I’ve been neglecting BlueSky :’)

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.
