Again, a great day in Yachats. 1000 inhabitants, 500 protesters! #yachatsoregon #nokings #resist #princessbride

A resistance poster showing a red cap, with "GREAT" in white letters across the cap, but crossed out with a black X. The text reads: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. Below the crossed out "Great" it says: Racism is not equal to great. Patriarchy is not equal to great. Fascism is not equal to great. Cronyism is not equal to great.

Isn't it the little things, though? Even finishing one flower design, or marveling at your pretty village... I'm grateful that we had much-needed rain last night. What little thing are you happy about today? #inspirational #surfacedesign #floral #procreate #illustration #art #owl #heathert

This botanical illustration features the phrase "IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS" surrounded by autumn flowers including orange rudbeckia, burgundy blooms, yellow flowers, and pink berries. A small spotted owl sits among the foliage, with a ladybug and butterfly adding whimsical details. The artwork has a watercolor style against a beige background and is signed "hlmt '25."

Working on a winter collection in Cat Coquillette's Art of collections class. Now just need to come up with the patterns! Which one do you feel is most wintery? #art #birds #surfacedesign #snowyowl #dancingcranes #polarbear #arcticfox #reindeer #procreate #digitalillustration #heathert

Left: Polar bear crusted in snow just waking up, against a light blue oval. Right: Arctic fox against a gray oval, sitting behind a bare stick poking up from the snow.

Snowy Owl owl on a beige oval, behind a berry branch covered in snow on the left. On the right, a real reindeer against a very light blue oval, with a snowy rock at its front left hock.

A pair of dancing cranes in very minimalist colors, against an oval featuring a bare tree at the crest of a snowy ridge.

A drawn curlicue sun in gold, with a central horizontal transverse ray made with purple, pink, red & orange curlicues. The background is monocolor light yellow wash in watercolor. There is some red lettering across the bottom right that reads Le Soleil Epanoui, French for The Beaming Sun.

#mixedmediaprocreate #tuesdaymakers Every Tuesday (i.e. Teela Cunningham)'s new course, Mixed Media for Procreate, is so much fun! Love the results. Certainly nothing quick--I think this one took me about 20 hrs. #procreate #mixedmedia #branch #paint #digitalart #heathert #dayoff #art

A remarkable article. Although in many ways I really miss teaching, I know that this would be a stressful time to be in the humanities. But this author shines a light on the way out, with AI at our side. #education #humanities #ai #artificialintelligence #philosophy www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Will the Humanities Survive Artificial Intelligence?

Maybe not as we’ve known them. But, in the ruins of the old curriculum, something vital is stirring.

I can't help it. This is the 'limp-lidded lizard' look. It's hard to imagine anything but a slow, ponderous, reptilian brain in there. #lizard #reptile #orange #despair

A photograph of a 3/4 view of the upper body and head of a president with orange skin and eyes barely open. He is wearing a blue suit, white shirt, and blue and red striped tie. He is leaning forward and his forehead is wrinkled, leading the viewer to postulate that he is struggling to remain awake. His sparse hair is white and orange, and his skin looks worn and cratered There are several creases on his left earlobe and around the edge of his ear.

I am so proud of my little village on the Oregon Coast. They have been protesting continuously every Saturday along the main street (which is also Highway 101), since 4 years+ ago. #yachats #oregoncoast #resist

A group photo of mixed people holding various signs such as justice for all, resist, etc. and Ukraine flags. They are warmly dressed in puffy jackets and hiking boots and wool caps, and many of them are wearing sunglasses, but they're all smiling.

So, can anybody explain to me why a whole tranche of democrats opted not to vote, because "both sides were the same"? Are they still feeling that Harris would have been just as bad? Oh, and why was Trump supposed to be better for the Palestinian cause?

Super-happy to share my Lemon Squeeze collection with you! Fabrics and wallpaper on offer at www.spoonflower.com/designs?view... #art #surfacepatterndesign #surfacedesign #summerlemon #heathert #citrus #watercolor #procreate #illustration

A collage of different lemon-inspired fabric patterns. Top left is lemon slices with watercolor leaves, sprinkled with lemon flowers on a light blue background. There are 3 rectangles of a plain, randomly white-speckled pattern on orange, dusky rose, and bright blue backgrounds. There is another pattern with just slices, and one with just whole yellow lemons. The brightest pattern is on a teal background with stylized watercolor leaves, flowers, and green lemons.

I can’t believe I had forgotten about this beauty in my archives. Untitled from my Body Positivity series made during COVID, oil brush in procreate, ref photo from pixels or unsplash The fabric in this one was so much fun to paint but it took forever #Light #FebruARTy

Here’s an alt text description for your painting:

A digital painting of a plus-sized woman with green hair sitting on a bed, holding a cup in both hands. She wears a purple robe draped over her shoulders, revealing her bare chest, and yellow underwear. Her gaze is directed off to the side, and her expression is contemplative. The background features a warm, golden-orange wall with a painting of a heart on a blue polka-dotted canvas. A pink nightstand with golden handles holds a turquoise vase filled with colorful flowers. The bed is covered in textured teal bedding. The painting is rich in bold colors and expressive brushstrokes, created in Procreate using the oil brush. Part of a body positivity series made during the height of COVID, this piece celebrates self-acceptance and warmth in an intimate setting.

Let me know if you’d like any refinements!

Feeling like it's January 92nd.. This Amanita passes the vibe check. It's like if the tired Ben Affleck photo was a mushroom 🫠 #fungifriends #amanita #January2025 #wowwhatashitshow

A copper orange hued Amanita mushroom is center in the frame with a dark out of focus background. The stem is starting to bend and decompose, making it seem like the mushroom is looking up in an exhausted kind of way.

Florida gopher turtle in north FL dunes. Made his way up the hill and disappeared into his burrow! #photography #turtle

A large land turtle facing us, with its legs pulling it along the light gray sand among a mess of wild grasses and fronds. The turtle has a dark brown head with splotches of sand, and its legs are almost a dark maroon. The shell has visible ochre plates with darker maroon splotches inside each one.

Picture of five presidents lined up at President Carter’s funeral. Only Tump is holding his hand over his tie over his tummy. Everybody else managed to hold their hand over their heart.

My funniest photo ever, I think… Peahen making sure I’m not after her chicks! #ArtAdventCalendar #bird #funnyphoto

A photo of a peahen stretching out her neck diagonally, face on. Her green neck feathers catch the light, but her little head and beady eyes convey alarm and disapproval.

No snow yet, but “breezy 30-35 mph winds with gusts up to 60 mph” and sideways rain. =) Gotta love the Oregon Coast. #art #photography #ArtAdventCalendar #winterbeach #monochrome

Beach and stream run-off marbled with snow and dark vegetation all in monochromatic sandy tones, with just a slight blue tinge to the water, at sunset. A big hemlock branch is poking into the frame top left.
