This life is a mountain. Icy. Cold. With blooms of colour breaking through, touching the sky. The air is chill, but it can be sweet. Find me the meadow, where butterflies glitter. Let my feet dream-hop there. You'll be waiting, I know. #vss365 #mountain #writingcommunity #microfiction

I've been wanting to get into book cover design for a long time. I started as a writer, then accidentally discovered the joy of art & design. This is a cover I made for one of my books on Wattpad. #ebookcovers #coverdesigner #graphicdesigner #fantasybooks #potions #magic #photomanip #EastCoastKin

An ebook cover featuring a potion bottle filled with sparkling yellow ingredients. The title, in gold, reads "Witch Doctors Inc Spellbook". At the bottom, the author's name reads "Isabel Caves". Touches of golden glitter, bokeh, and mist add some interest to the piece.

These mysterious #lights are not will-o'-the-wisps, but tinsel reflections caught with my DSLR, a defocused macro lens, and a soft focus filter. No editing on this one. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #photography #macrophotography #abstractphotography #photographersofbluesky

Ghostly bokeh circles in yellow gold and pale blue against a black background.

When I was thinking of what to post for #Stunday, this painting was the first thing I thought of. Sometimes it's better not to second guess. 5" x 7", available ko-fi.com/s/ff4b6d1c78 #EastCoastKin #painting #digitalart #jellyfish #art #artsky #artyear #artists #wallart #deepsea #artistsofbluesky

Chaotic light. This picture is straight out of the camera. The abstract bokeh effect was achieved with a defocused macro lens, a soft focus filter, and some coloured tinsel. #Chaos #BlueSkyArtShow #bokeh #colorful #abstractart #photography #photographersofbluesky

Another painting is complete! This one is called "Timeless". There's something about spring and cherry blossoms that feels like memories and nostalgia. 5" x 7", available ko-fi.com/s/b7f86e5f3a #art #painting #EastCoastKin #artyear #smArtist #abstractart #nature #sakura #artistsofbluesky #artsky

From the #earth comes all things beautiful. This is a creative edit of some Queen Anne's lace. The original straight out if the camera photo is shown second. Which one do you like better? #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #photography #flowerphotography #nature #flowers #bloomscrolling #macro

A creative edit of Queen Anne's lace with grass in the background. The edit gives the image a softer, bluer look.

This is the original unedited photo of the previous. The blooms are white with very pale yellow centres, and the background is a deep forest green. Taken with my DSLR (with the kit zoom lens...this was before I acquired a macro lens)

I absolutely had to paint this disco jellyfish. Don't ask me why. Sometimes you just feel the need to paint marine life partying under the ocean. "DJ" 5" x 7", available ko-fi.com/s/1064021bff #art #EastCoastKin #painting #artsky #artyear #Stunday #psychedelic #artshare #artistsofbluesky #neon

She blamed the wind. It hadn't warned her. Her mother warned her, and the priest. But when she stepped into the cool crisp night, there was no #headwind. No sign as she found his bone-dead eyes, gleaming with victory. She would have listened to the wind. She would have listened. #vss365
