#Sunlight peeks through the forest, illuminating the sitting goddes as she dips her feet in the river of another world. She’s looking at you #BlueskyArtShow Oil brush, pattern brushes and light pen in #procreate

A vibrant digital painting of a celestial goddess from another world, seated on a stone ledge at the edge of a glowing river. Her rich, warm-toned skin is illuminated by dappled sunlight filtering through a lush, otherworldly forest of towering green palm fronds. She wears a flowing, oversized blue shirt that drapes over her powerful frame, with long, lavender hair cascading from beneath an elaborate floral crown of roses, lilies, and tropical leaves. Her golden hoop earrings catch the light, and she gazes into the distance with a serene yet commanding presence. Her legs, adorned with glowing blue crisscrossing straps, dip into the shimmering water, creating ripples of light. The deep purple night sky behind her is speckled with stars, adding to the ethereal, dreamlike quality of the scene.

A 2nd left-handed digital oil so that I can continue with Alai Gazuna's color theory class despite my fractured right elbow. Goal was to paint a very neutral still life using COLOR. I think I won! 😃 Big props to Alai for her fantastic instruction. #DigitalArt #Procreate #Color #ArtYear #Learning

Colorful digital oil painting of a small white bowl with a decorative ceramic ghost figurine perched on its side. In the bowl is an avocado seed with 3 chopsticks, in preparation for sprouting it. The painting is in bright pastel colors.

And one more for good measure because hey #februarty we only need 18 more pieces of art in #artyear to break the record

A surreal black and white digital illustration of a person peacefully sleeping, hugging a pillow while their head transforms into octopus tentacles. The tentacles spread outward, curling and twisting against a highly detailed, intricate background filled with abstract patterns, geometric shapes, floral elements, and swirling circular designs. The person’s face is calm, with closed eyes and a serene expression. The grayscale tones and stippled shading give the image depth and texture, blending elements of fantasy and dreamlike surrealism.”

Sometimes our souls feel pared down....and that is the best time to connect with small beautiful things and let them fill up your soul. #stunday #bloomscrolling #painting #onlybeautifulthings #bigandsmall #februarty #colorful

A painting with a dark blue background. A marble bust of a woman with her eyes closed is surrounded by abstract flowers and leaves in red, blue, green and white, as if there is a flower shower.

Sometimes I paint fabric folds in #procreate when the world feels heavy. It’s nice to get lost in the details for a while and hit that flow state. #FebruARTy #orange

“Digital painting of rich, flowing fabric in deep red, orange, and yellow hues. The folds and creases create a sense of movement, with warm highlights contrasting against dark purple shadows, giving the fabric a glowing, almost molten appearance.”

Snow muck splattered window with uplifted branch treescape behind, and blue sky blowing clouds away in background. There's a line of snow at the bottom of the image.

The only pet portrait I ever made, it took so long, but a good friend’s bestie had just passed and for some reason I felt I needed to do this for her. Meet the fabulous and #fuzzy Willow. #SensoryArt #FebruARTY #procreate

A digital painting of a golden retriever with warm brown fur, expressive eyes, and a joyful expression. The dog’s tongue is slightly out, and it wears a dark collar. Its front paws rest playfully in the foreground. The background is an explosion of vibrant, abstract brushstrokes in shades of blue, green, red, and yellow, giving the piece a dynamic, energetic feel. A soft glowing outline surrounds the dog, making it stand out against the bold backdrop. The expressive brushwork and rich colors add to the warmth and personality of the piece.

#FebruARTy Day 2: Shoes Our Lady Undoer of Knots is an ancient devotion (approx 2nd c.) "Untie the knots that prevent us from being united to God, so that we...may find him in all things." All things! Everyone. 💙 #UndoerOfKnots #CatholicArt (Prints/cards: dovetailink.etsy.com/listing/7202... )

Contemporary watercolor take on a Madonna and child - Mary, with very long wavy brown hair, has a young boy in her lap whose shoes she is tying.

The background is a loose dark blue/green watercolor with a few leafy braches and yellow roses scattered in the grass.

In curly, hand-lettered text is "Our Lady Undoer of Knots, Pray for us" at the top, and below the figures, "Untie the knots that prevent us from being united to God, so that we, free from sin and error, may find him in all things."
