After work, I usually do some personal sewing to wind down. Tonight I did something a little different -- a little kakapo painting! I think I'll keep doing little paintings, this was nice :)

The best thing about doing paintings on sticks is that sticks can get very very long.

Still life in oil sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition in 2020. This one shows quite a bit of impasto built up during the process of composition.

Behold: my desk in-between paintings, clean and sparkly so I can write Patreon letters 💙

A frontal view of a desk with a large monthly planner on a small table easel, a cube shaped lamp and a candle. Behind the easel, several paintings and prints lean against the wall, and painting supplies cover both sides of the table.

“Morning Light” is one of those paintings that is quite old but still holds a special place in my heart since it was one of my first gouache paintings I really liked. 💚
And I was able to restock postcards of it today! 😁

A photo of a small, portrait-format painting, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by postcards of the same motif. The painting features a paved pathway through lush green woods, with soft dappled light in the foreground, and brighter light around a bend further along the path.

I can’t believe these paintings are ten years old…

Gay Fine Art

@gayfineart.bsky.social

Chilean artist JOSÉ PEDRO GODOY’s large-scale homoerotic oil paintings are unapologetically centered on the male body, intimacy, and gay desire. His imagery presents eroticism as direct and unfiltered, drawing from his own personal experience.

A couple of watercolour landscapes done on left over bits of paper. I did these a little while ago, just really quick little paintings to use up paint and paper, but I am still quite fond of them.

Small watercolour landscape painting in muted tones. The main focus is the sky, with thick clouds. Shown in a light oak frame.

Four little (2.5"x4"ish) watercolor & gouache paintings from a while back.
Based on photos I took during a trip to Yellowstone.

A watercolor painting showing steam rising from thermal features. Golden dawn light creeps down from the top of the mountain and the full moon sets.

A watercolor painting featuring a dead tree, bleached by minerals at the bottom.

A watercolor painting of Hayden Valley. Rolling hills with mountains beyond. A tiny bison grazes.

A watercolor painting of the last bit of sunlight hitting a mountainside. A maze of hitching posts rests in the middle-ground.
