Fresh off the Easel! Zion National Park's magical wintertime light is captured in this oil painting by Erin Hanson. The landscape is quiet, all sounds muffled by a recent snowfall. Zion Snowfall by Erin Hanson, 2026 Oil on canvas 36x48 in #oilpainting #originalart #art #nps #winter @bsky.art
The magical light of Zion National Park in the wintertime is captured in this oil painting by Erin Hanson. The landscape is quiet, all sounds muffled by a recent snowfall. The delicate hues of orange and gold seem to glow with a light of their own. Each brushstroke feels fresh and alive, capturing the timeless beauty of the scene.

I know We Just Don't Care is an older one, but I share this once in a while to remind ourselves that even if men do believe women, that doesn't necessarily mean they're going to care. The problem isn't the report. The problem is the culture.

#OTD On Sept 29, 1940, two RAAF Avro Ansons collided and locked together over Brocklesby. The lower plane's engines kept running. After three crew bailed out, the upper pilot controlled the combined aircraft using ailerons and flaps to make a safe paddock landing. All four survived. #WWII #history

If he told boring jokes his career would be over. If he passed a bad law his future would be ruined. If he failed his classes his life would suffer, but what they did was sexually assault a woman so we have to debate if what they did deserves consequences.

A few years ago a peach tree in my back yard couldn't fight off fungus infections any more, so I regretfully cut it down (years of delicious peaches). Of course I had to save some of the wood. This bowl is from a single slice of the tree and epoxy resin with pigment. #woodturning #woodworking
A lathe-turned bowl, 5-1/2 inches across, with curving sides, made with peach wood and epoxy resin. There are cross-cut views of three branches, showing the wide growth rings.

Crystalline light filters through the boughs of a fiery maple tree in Kyoto, Japan. Crystal Maple by Erin Hanson, 2019 Oil on canvas 36 x 48 in www.erinhanson.com/portfolio/cr... #autumn #kyoto #oilpainting #impressionism #treeclub #landscape @bsky.art #art
Crystalline light filters through the boughs of a fiery maple tree in Kyoto, Japan. The slowly moving waters of the Arashiayama river reflect the light from above. The brush strokes fit together like a mosaic of stained glass, breathing color and motion into the scene.
