ICYMI: new painting escaped - 🔥 INFERNO, 🔥 the third in my Anima Sola series A little peek into how the sausage is made with my initial thumbnail concept (this is like, a 3 inch sketch) and a drawing to work out the values.

A woman kneels amid a misty, liminal space, her hands open and empty on her lap, blackness behind her. She stares abjectly into the middle-distance, off canvas and toward the right, her eyebrows just barely knitting together. She has pale skin and auburn hair, which is on fire, burning hot and bright - an inferno. The light and shadow from the fire throws her body and the surrounding atmosphere into an eerie red-orange light. Three shadowy hands reach up through the mists below her. Orange sparks whip around her in a vortex of wind, blowing the fire up and towards the right. Cool reflections linger in the shadows, in between darkness and redness. On the left, her body and the mists below her are shadowed in a numinous red, while on the right, the dim, sickly blue of the mists twirl. She is empty, both frozen and inflamed, fire burning from nothing, paralyzed in the in-between.

A very small, quick pencil sketch on paper of my Inferno concept. A woman visible in a liminal, slightly more watery mist, with her hair on fire, blowing up and to the right.

A drawing, in graphite, of my Inferno concept. A woman kneels in a liminal mist while her hair burns on fire. Her hands are turned up and empty in her lap.

This one was rough it opened a lot of emotions & memories thats been clogging my mind. I feel a sense of relief I can let go of more of my guilt due to how I lost my father. I feel more kind to my inner child than ashamed. Remember to do something kind for someone today. 🌞 Let's all grow together.

A girl standing at the beach. Ocean behind her with a bright blue sky. Seagulls fly in the distance. Around her she is lost in the confusion from her delusions and trauma. A shadow figure stands over her connecting with her own shadow. Within that shadow little hands attach themselves onto her legs. She stands there staring at the viewer holding the hand of the shadow and in the other her ocean floaty.

I asked CD Covington to do a guest post about her new project. It’s super cool and it funded on its first day! This means if you back it now, you will definitely get the book plus extra essays! www.juliarios.com/guest-post-cd-cov…

"Welcome home" Oils on illustration board. 11in x 14in. Finished in 2020 but just made available today to the general public. You can find it on Every Day Original's section of "Beyond the Every Day" or visit my website and check on Available originals page. A weird way to spend my birthday 😅

Oil painting of a female representing figure kneeling on top of a stone carved feathered snake huge kind of nest. In the center, there's a lot of eggs on top of super hot stones that look super bright orange. One tiny dragon has hatched and it's climbing on the human figure's arm. Her other hand is holding a small basket with new eggs she'll be placing next. The big nest-like statue has the shape of an Aztec feathered serpent representation. and it's pale blue-gray. On the top left of the image we can see 2 young dragons flying on top of this scene while a third is flying next to the human figure.

gracelesslygraceful 1h I'm so glad I'm not a child anymore. Growing up I saw and heard things no one else did. I was scolded for being wasteful when I was terrified that food or drink was poisoned. I didn't know that I was suffering from paranoia and delusions. How could I? I was only a child.

A sketch of a child at the beach holding the hand of her delusions. Eyes appear in the sand around her. Hypervigilance appears in the form of eyes on her skin. Behind her "I didn't know" is written into the sand. She didn't know that she had something wrong this was her normal for so long.
