So this morning I awoke to loud cooing. A wood pigeon had wandered into the hallway and was sitting on this particular artwork. It may have been the youngster I raised a few seasons back, or it was just a home invader. Artwork description in alt. #Birds #Art #oilpainting #assemblage #pigeonsky
"Magnesia" - oil and ink on antique map mounted on wood panel, chair legs, velvet ribbon, ohmmeter, wood scrolls.To be fair, if it was the pigeon I raised, this is where its cage was. At least nothing was defecated on.Magnesia, detail, oil painting depicting a dead pigeon, in the background faint ink drawings of an early Wellsian type bomb and a cat skull emerge through transparent layers of white.

The Dept of Interior claims that the algae in the reflecting pool is left over from rarely used pipes No. Painting the pool dark blue means that it absorbs heat much faster than if it were a light color. Warmer = faster algae growth That's why you don't see black swimming pools Science!

I had never attempted a still life in pastel, and then I did. For the walls of a local delicatessen, the owners used to keep chameleons. "In May" - Pastel on sanded paper #art #drawing #pastel #traditionalmediums #stilllife #flowers #chameleon #butterflies #food
Pastel drawing of a silver tray holding a book, a vase with red and pink flowers, a silver sugar bowl filled with strawberries. On the green book is a crystal decanter filled with a amber liquid, it is being scaled by a pale green chameleon. Next to the crystal is a jar of olives. Various butterflies have landed on the objects. A white linen napkin spills out over the tray. There is a fading ornamental striped pattern on the wall behind.
