I’ve been super busy IRL, so haven’t been posting much. But here’s a recently completed painting! #Art #Painting #Dog #Artist

An acrylic painting of a large fluffy mixed breed dog with a heavily greyed saddle patterned coat.

Deep forest is done. Working on the cliffs and the distant tree tops. #Art #WIP #TheLastUnicorn

This weekend I’m going to start on a project I’ve had hanging around for several years… my 5’x5’ canvas mural based on the unicorn forest from The Last Unicorn. I did a small test painting a couple of years ago, but never got around to pulling out the big canvas to take the next step.I think it’s about time to turn my extremely sketchy digital sketch into an actual painting… #Art #WIP #ComingSoon

Rating spring flowers in my yard. #Spring #Flowers #Rating
Ranunculus, daffodils, hyacinth, and crocus of various colors.

My brain is weird. But sometimes it's useful.
I presented at a conference yesterday. The computer didn't want to talk to the projector. It was taking time to get that fixed, so I started my introduction without. Then, when they got fixed, they had to restart the computer and didn't have the log-in information.
So I ended up giving my entire 45-minute presentation, with statistics, from memory, without access to my slides.
And my audience enjoyed it. So, I guess I did pretty well.

After the underpainting comes the sketch-in. #WIP #Art #FrenchBulldog #Dog

am mourning the person I was becoming. #Photography #Art #Nature
A series of bleak, atmospheric photographs taken on a foggy day. A lone red leaf against winter barren trees. A black mare standing in a group of winter trees. A photograph of a barren pasture and the corner of an old metal barn. A barren tree with crows. An abandoned spider web covered in tiny water droplets.

I haven’t painted as much lately. I haven’t had the spoons to be creative. #Art #Dog #AcrylicPainting
