3 siblings! I'm in the process of making a trilogy of paintings, Grief (48" x 60"), Joy (1m x 1m) & Calm (48" x 60"). Grief & Joy are complete. Calm is underway. Same colour pallette for all 3 plus b&w. Here = Grief & Joy, Calm when she's ready. #grief #joy #emotion #emotionart #originalart

Vertical stripes of yellow, orange, green, blue, purple & red, with a lot of texture and a pattern of black triangles and splashes of yellow & white over the top

Mainly yellow & orange textured background with curves of darker shades along with spots of blue, purple, yellow, red & green

Please can anyone confirm which bird of prey this is? Guessing perhaps a juvenile buzzard, but very pale... #birds

Every self-employed artist I know is having a slow mental breakdown over sales and finances over the past year thanks to *gestures at world* so if you are secretly a member of a Florentine political dynasty hoping to become a patron to some worried doodlers, now is an excellent time to start

Photograph of painting "black holes". Abstract background with blue, red, white and black merging. On top various solid shapes in the same colour. Last layer are black circles edged in lime green. The black circles have a lime green underlayer which has been scraped back in a circular motion. There is also a solid black hole in each circle.

To all of these men in particular who cannot understand why sexual assault that occurred decades ago still matters. I was sexually assaulted twenty six years ago. I am closer to fifty than forty. I still will not get on elevator with men if I am by myself. That's why it matters.
