Gah.. I miss ranunculus. Can’t wait for spring when these will bloom again. This painting hanging around the studio filled me with joy, now she’s heading to a gallery to find a home to share more joy.

Close up view from an angle of a botanical oil painting of orange ranunculus. Two open blooms can be seen prominently center with 4 partially open buds are on the perimeter partially cut off frame. Two left and two right.

The blurred drawing of a bumblebee can be seen top left.

High-contrast macro photography captures the flower's fragile beauty and resilience. Emphasizing texture and the darkening marks of time, the image transforms decay into a powerful testament to endurance.

Delicate petals, / Water’s dark touch leaves quiet scars, / Nature’s breath lingers.

Two red flowers pushing through rigid blue geometric lines.

"Blooming Radiance" (2018) is about the tension between growth and constraint. How beauty finds a way to exist even within systems designed to control it.

Picture taken a couple hours ago after being stuck in traffic. I decided I should stop and take some pictures to relax.

#TextureTuesday #EastTexas #LakeSteinhagen #TexasNature #MacroPhotography #Nature #WildTexas #Photography #BotanicalArt #LandscapePhotography #Texas #MartinDiesStatePark

Delicate native Texas grass seed heads shimmer in the golden light near Lake Steinhagen in East Texas, their fine filaments glowing against the soft blur of water and sky. The photograph captures the rich natural texture and detail of wild bluestem grasses—possibly broomsedge bluestem (Andropogon virginicus) or splitbeard bluestem (Andropogon ternarius)—two native species known for their feathery seed plumes that reflect autumn sunlight. This close-up macro landscape emphasizes texture, depth, and the organic patterns found in East Texas nature photography. A perfect example of Big Thicket serenity and botanical artistry, blending fine art composition with local ecology to highlight the seasonal beauty of native Texas flora.

A Hot Wheels themed birthday card for a 4 year old child. The card has various embellishments including real pressed flowers, stickers, and stamps, and is made of several different pieces of birthday patterned cardstock.
