Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 25/08/2026💔 Dolly Parton passed away. We lost a great woman, singer/songwriter, actress, and philanthropist. I will always love you, Dolly. 020
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 08/08/2026It’s been a busy summer with home and garden projects. I’m looking forward to cooler weather and more time to paint! This is an older #watercolor #painting of one of my peachy-pink irises in my garden. #art #flowers #artistonbluesky #fineart 1151
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 25/07/2026It’s really hard to paint #watercolors when it’s so darn hot and you live in a dry climate. My paper and puddles of paint dry way too fast! So, here’s an older painting. It’s titled ‘Forest Falls’ #art #waterfall #granulation #painting 1102
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I haven’t been painting lately. I can’t seem to get inspired. 😞 But my photos just highlighted a mailbox I painted years ago. I used to paint a lot of mailboxes. #art #mailboxes #hibiscus #acrylicpainting 141

Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 13/06/2026In under two years my mortgage pymt has gone up over $350/mo. bc of taxes & insurance. 😡 In 25 yrs I’ve never even filed a claim! Only 2 more yrs to pay her off, then good riddance insurance! & I have nothing left to cancel or cut back on anymore. & Elon’s a TRILLIONAIRE now! 🤬 That ain’t right. 020
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Took my dog to the park to throw the ball for her. She gave it to some old guy sitting under a tree. He then told me all the places he’s been to (including San Francisco) with a global, geological location. Except for Kuwait, I’ve been to all of them! 🤦♀️ Mansplaining at its finest. 030

Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Quinn is deeply mourning the loss of her little buddy, Boo. Hiding & sleeping in the bedroom, not wanting to play, and very sad eyes. 😥 Any suggestions how I can help her? I feel so bad for her. 000

Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 28/04/2026I always say: A creative mess is better than tidy idleness! More progress on my big painting! Trees are in now on the right side. Much more to do! #art #watercolor #painting #landscape 0121
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 25/04/2026I made a bit more progress on my big #watercolor #painting today! See my previous post to see the beginning stages. 😊 #art 050
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 25/04/2026I started this half-sheet #watercolor #painting on April 13th. Here are some progress pics. It’s been slow going. It doesn’t look like much now. 😂 #art 040
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 23/04/2026I’m working on a large half-sheet #watercolor landscape, but took a break to paint this. I want to have another #granulation class and thought we could paint this. I need to make some 💰! Titled: The Last Leaf 11” x 14” #art #artclass #Aspen #trees 1161
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 21/04/2026To keep track of all my tubes of #watercolor paints, I make these color swatches, organized by color and separate rings for granulating colors. It’s easy then to pull a color off a ring to see how it works with another color. @uselessdegree.bsky.social #art #colorswatches #painting 180
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Just playing with granulating Lunar Black #watercolor paint. #art #watercolor #granulation #painting 1151
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 29/03/2026The colors of spring! Lemon Yellow, Lime Green, and Fuchsia. (Plants: Forsythia, Aspen tree, and blooming Crabapple tree. ) 151
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Take a break from all the ugly news and enjoy a peaceful painting. I taught my first #watercolor #granulation class last week. We needed about 20 more minutes to finish, but everyone had fun and did a great job! 060
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 06/03/2026With all the nonstop chaos going on right now (thanks to you know who 😡) taking a break to paint feels calming. “Into the Blue” #watercolorpainting #watercolour #art #granulation #waterfall #fantasy #landscape #artistonbluesky 0110
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Someone at the dog park was yelling for their dog, “Marco!” In unison everyone nearby yelled, “Polo!” 🤣 030
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 27/02/2026February is the shortest month of the year. Yet this month has felt like six months long! What will March bring? 000
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 26/02/2026It’s been months since I’ve painted. 😔 This is from a class I recently took with Peruvian artist Dario Ccallo. I couldn’t understand a word of it, since it was all in Spanish, but he did have a translator. #watercolorpainting #waterfall #landscape #art 0130
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 05/02/2026I might have gone a little crazy with the granulating #watercolor paints, but it’s so mesmerizing to watch it happen! #artistonbluesky #art #watercolorpainting #waterfall 2150
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 04/02/2026This image just popped up on my photo memories. It’s one of my very first watercolor paintings from years ago. 😊 I wonder where it is… #art #watercolor #rose 1110
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Since I’ve been in such a funk for the past 3 months and creatively blocked, unable to paint, here’s an older painting from 2018. #watercolorpainting #art #oldcar #rust 030
Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Today, at my yrly physical, I had to draw the face of a clock with the time 11:10. The young aide then did an image search on Google to see if it was correct! She didn’t know how to read a clock! Did I teach her? You bet I did!

Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 04/01/2026A creative mess is better than tidy idleness. Until it isn’t! I just spent the last two days cleaning up and reorganizing my office/painting space. Let’s see how long this will l last! 😂 #art #painting #artstudio #homeoffice 120

Lorayne 🎨 @artistlorayne.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Today, while buying some mat board, a woman came in with an ORIGINAL Morten Solberg watercolor of an owl! I gasped when I saw it! An original! With stray paint splatter on it! The detail in this owl, incredible. She was looking to sell it, so I offered her $50. Unfortunately she declined. Darn! 😂 011
