Took this photo from the train this week while on my way #home from a long journey. Though I tried to minimise the reflection in the glass the train’s strip lights in the middle of the clouds are still quite visible. #BlueskyArtShow

I posted this three months ago and it continues to be the most #summer photo I took this year so I’m reposting it for this week’s #blueskyartshow theme.

I saw this incredibly thick cloud last week under an otherwise clear sky. #blueskyartshow #summer

I painted this ages ago and never listed it because I decided it needed more bubbles (just scattered everywhere imo). Grateful for the fact that the #blueskyartshow theme today is #shiny because it’s reminded me that I need to redo this.

I particularly love painting things that shine, glow, and sparkle when I’m using bleach on black fabric. Just seems like a good medium for it. #shiny #blueskyartshow

I would like to express my #Gratitude for whichever other neighbour throws seeds on to the patch of dirt in the middle of the courtyard that all our flats share. I get to see constantly changing blossoming plants when I walk out the door. #Grateful #BlueskyArtShow

I didn’t think I’d have anything for this weeks theme, but had a look through my photos and realised I’m often asking people to stand #sideways because I want pictures of the art I’m making from every angle. Maybe not the most aesthetically pleasing images, but they fit the brief ✅ #BlueskyArtShow

This is the first draft of a shirt design but I like how it turned out so I’m keeping it. I enjoy painting the #moon and #mountains and #rivers so I wanted to do them all at once. #BlueskyArtShow #Narrow

There’s a lot of misinformation about the stonewall riot, who took part, who denounced them, what they were defending. A reminder, in case you haven’t listened to it yet, of these podcast episodes that clarify a lot workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e25-... #pride #lgbt

My favourite of my recent designs and the most fun to do. The restrictions of #gender and categories of #sexualorientation are put on us all, and being #queer is the resulting marginalisation, without which #lgbtpride wouldn’t exist. #bodilyautonomy and #freedomofassociation are not too much to ask.

I don’t make a lot of #vibrant art but was drawing with friends from memory. Couldn’t photograph the colours when I’d seen it in person, but the turquoise and orange reflection mix made each colour brighter. My impression with crayons didn’t do it justice, believe me it looked great. #BlueskyArtShow

I’ve been writing on clothes recently, and some of it is particularly suitable for June so I wrote some listings yesterday. I might post them all separately as well but here is the current collection. a-room-with-a-view.co.uk/paintings-of... I’ll post the Etsy links below too.

Photos of 5 T-shirts, two say “Queer Liberation Not Rainbow Capitalism” in different fonts, two say “The Future Is Queer” in different fonts, and one has “bodily autonomy” and “freedom of association” written all over it repeatedly.

Was recently having a drink outside and when I lifted up my beer to finish it I enjoyed the way the evening sun lit up the golden colours, so I tried to take a photo. The picture has a certain familiar feeling for me. Thought it might make a contribution to today’s #blueskyartshow theme #vibrant

“That's your solution to everything, to move under the sea. It's not going to happen!” I went to the beach recently when the tide was further out than I’d ever seen it, so I wandered around on the sea floor. Didn’t meet any friendly crustaceans but it was still very cool. #BlueskyArtShow #Underneath

My last contribution to #blueskyartshow for the theme #lightandshadow Bleach on black fabric is a medium particularly well suited to subjects that are bright in the middle of the dark and I particularly like painting anything that’s glowing like this.

I paint a lot of #lightandshadow themed images as my paintings are often surrounded by darkness and so get more shadowy on the edges, so this is my second contribution to this week’s #blueskyartshow This one is quite a classic subject when it comes to things lit up in the middle of the dark. #spooky

The theme of this week’s #Blueskyartshow is #Texture so originally I just wanted to show you this close up of my work because real chanterelles have a cool texture. Then I saw that in one photo the fabric texture is also visible. I enjoy being able to see the individual stitches.

This week’s theme at #BlueskyArtShow is #lines. I originally designed these for Halloween but they’ve became an all year round thing and more popular than anything else I’ve done. Every week I’m painting lines, it’s got quite calming in its repetition.

Also want to share these cityscape #silhouette designs at the #BlueskyArtShow. Did a layered one as I’d been thinking about how things further away are more sky-coloured. And one with a wider variety of buildings for which I spent an embarrassing amount of time considering typical city planning.

Black T-shirt painted using bleach with a city skyline silhouette. Buildings in the background are a more faded silhouette due to the atmosphere and the ones in front are darker.

I rarely draw people but loved doing this Oct ‘23. I’d heard too many recent complaints about single cat ladies. I love her, her cat companion, her independence, her knowledge of home remedies, etc. Flying broomstick is just for show. Sharing her today since the #BlueskyArtShow theme is #silhouette.

After my posts yesterday I kept thinking about the shape of the ocean waves. While falling asleep ~1am I drew this in my notes app. I still get what I meant here. If any other artists out there are wondering what the sea looks like though, I’ve cracked it, while half asleep even. You’re welcome.

Frankly incredible rendition of the sea in the style of 1980s ms paint, screenshotted from my notes app indicating it was drawn at 1.28am. The top half of the picture is just pale blue. The bottom half has pale blue and teal wiggly lines that have bigger wiggles at the bottom and smaller wiggles at the top.

Another photo from my day out yesterday. I want to contribute how stunning it was for #Stunday and my #photography doesn’t do it justice. I’ll add a video fwiw ⬇️. I try to paint water from my memory of it, so when I get to see it in person I’m stuck staring, trying to understand what it looks like.

For a midday #sunlight feeling I have to think of this painting I did years ago when I was stuck inside and yearning for a walk. I appreciate the reminder #blueskyartshow, it’s how I want a walk in the sun to feel and it cheers me up looking at it.

I happened to be lucky enough to see a lot of #sunlight today including this view just before the sun disappeared behind the horizon. Also took a photo 5 minutes later of the sunlight, after it’s source was gone. I paint scenes inspired by this, was great to see it for real again. #blueskyartshow

It’s Bluesky’s weekly art party again. This week the theme of #blueskyartshow is #windows. I can’t find any art I’ve done with windows in, but I have been known to actually paint windows themselves before, so here are some contributions.

Windows with a winter snow scene painted on, including snowflakes, trees, and a snowperson.

Seeing everyone post their photos of flowers for the #spring theme of #blueskyartshow has reminded me that I saw some Skips a couple days ago on the side of the road.

The Miracle of Spring We glibly talk of nature's laws but do things have a natural cause? Black earth turned into yellow crocus is undiluted hocus-pocus (The photo reminded me of this grook I learnt as a kid. I thought if science even looks like magic to Piet Hein then I don’t feel so silly.)

In 1933 the German impressionist, Max Liebermann, said “Ich kann gar nicht soviel fressen, wie ich kotzen möchte” which I was reminded of today. Roughly translated “I can’t even eat the amount that I would like to vomit”. Maybe not the most beautiful thing I’ve done, but an expression of a feeling.

Maybe one day I’ll learn how to take photos of my drawings and paintings. I thought the more light the better but just looked at the thumbnails and realised that “washed out” is not a good look for art that is mainly black or dark. Please learn from my mistakes. #artshare #bskyart #alwayslearning

Can’t believe I missed the #BlueskyArtShow on Saturday when the theme was #Monochrome, the majority of what I paint or sketch currently fits that. There were some really beautiful contributions, check them out. This week the theme is “Abandoned” so you’ve still got days to think about it.

Was accumulating accounts on different sites so I’m setting up a linktree. Wrote a bio “I paint clothes, canvasses, and walls.” It says “Rewrite my bio Powered by AI”. Yeah alright then, what have you got? “🎨 I paint clothes, canvasses and walls. Join my colourful journey!🌈” Thanks for that, but no.

Surfing this site reminded me that I made a redbubble account four years ago, with 10 drawings/paintings, and then forgot about it. If you need a new object (eg a mousepad, for some reason), please consider one of these. www.redbubble.com/people/ARoom... #art #prints #artprints #transart #foucault

Acrylic canvas painting of a lake reflecting a sunset, making stripes of blue, pink, white, pink, and blue, creating the appearance of the trans flag. On the painting is written “I don’t feel that it is necessary to know exactly what I am. The main interest in life and work is to become someone else that you were not in the beginning - Michel Foucault”. The quote was handwritten but added after uploading.
