Sometimes it's worth it to walk away for a while, loving where this one is going with fresh vision... #fresheyes #slowart #vision #mariasabina #healers #tradart #mixedmedia #descolonización #womenshistory #ashevilleartist #saywomen

And the goddesses said that this would be a red letter year....decided to finish the portrait of this goddess healer, a woman victim to the whims of patriarchal whyte men from imperialist nations. Maria Sabina should be a reminder to us to decolonize western healing practices. #womenshistory #art

More layers added, time to step away from this and work on something else again! My studio is a disaster, listening to loud Ani Difranco and cleaning to transition... #art #traditionalart #acrylicpainting #blueskyart #marchart #spring #mythology #workinprogress #self-portrait

When you forget to pick up milk, you have permission to start your day with a massive pile of whipped cream... Side note, I now want to draw the cream, those folds, shadows to light... #improv #perception #whippedcream #chai #noregrets #art

1st layer of my little crow friend is done, wish I could stay in the studio & hyperfocus on this one today. At least, it's sunny and set to be warm....maybe the crows will give me a show in the yard this afternoon, for research. #art #bskyart #avlartist #traditionalart #acrylicpainting #crowlover

ChelseaMorningArt @22string.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

Trying to summon the motivation to finish this one. A mixed media portrait of Maria Sabina. I was working on this one just before #Helene hit and haven't been able to find flow with it since, but it's time to honor this indigenous Mexican healer again. #art #blueskyart #healers #traditionalart

Well that's an easy QRP when you mainly draw and paint self-portraits and you have super long hair. QRP a character you've created with long hair... #art #BlueSkyArtShow #avlartist #traditionalart #design #feminism #betheart #longhair

My drawing & comp professor in college read a story once that described in detail the negative space in a room. He taught me to draw with that story. I dropped out of college after my first year, but the story remained and changed my way of seeing the world. 25 years later...1/2 #art #self-portrait

My mama's cat, she died this year, and it took eight months of living with him to get her former feral baby to come up to me and let me love him. He's 13 and this is the first picture I've gotten of him since he was a kitten.

I found this picture of my Great-Grandmother,Jamesena Gillis, akaTootsie, while going through my mother's things today. It's interesting the things we carry on unknowingly, like my love of a good cloak or shawl, wrapping me in that old Scottish crone energy to keep me connected to their stories.
