Apologies for the disappearing act! Bluesky is not a great fit for me. I relinquish #smartist and have moved to kelseycarnellart.tumblr.com If you’re interested you can find me there.

Morning #BlueSky ☕️ Taken a while back on a late Summer afternoon beach walk. Have a balanced Tuesday my friends😌 #RockinTuesday #TidesOutTuesday #ColorADay #BlueTue #smArtist #warm #Photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographyOfBlueSky #Coastal #CoastalPhotography #Beach #Golden #Ocean #Balance #Summer

The photograph shows a stack of beach rocks that have been balanced on top of each, going from the biggest at the bottom to smallest at the top.

The stack of rocks is about 2 feet high and itself is balanced on a bigger rock which is sunk into the sand of the shoreline with the ocean behind it. There is sandy pebbles and the lapping shoreline through the middle of the photograph and behind the rock stack.

The ocean is a beautiful aqua blue colour which is lighter at the shoreline but gets progressively darker as you head onto the horizon. Where the sky meets the ocean on the horizon, it is a beautiful radiated blue from top to bottom.

The whole scene is bathed in Golden sunlight of a late summers afternoon. The picture was taken on the shoreline of the Isle of Wight, which is a small island off the south coast of the United Kingdom in late summer of 2016.

The tiny broken pieces of tile and glass come together in a beautiful mosaic of flowers. #BlueSkyArtShow #pieces #ArtYear #smArtist #AbstractAug #Shapes

A gorgeous mosaic of flowers made with broken pieces of tile and glass to form lilacs, pansies, lilies and leafy grasses found on the wall of a building in Miami FL.

#smArtist Purposeful art of any theme... I've been looking at that and asking myself questions about it. It mostly stops me dead. I've been making art for at least 65 years. Why? TO SAVE THE WORLD! Sorry for yelling. No it's not that. So what is the purpose of me making art? ? ?

Admission: I haven’t attempted to paint in months, and I am worried to try again for the silly “fear of the blank page” Question: What do you do when irrational anxious fear is the only thing holding you back? How do you ignite the activation energy to let go and just flow? #smArtist

'Road to Nowhere' Talking Heads A long winding country path from Reeth to Grinton, Swaledale. This song seemed apt for much of our 21 mile hike this day! Sparty #EastCoastKin #Photography #PhotoHour #StormHour #ForestFriday #Nature #AlphabetChallenge #WeekDForDrivetime #Scape #smArtist #JuliArty

The image is of a winding, unpaved rural walking trail, leading through a lush green landscape. On the right side of the path, a traditional dry stone wall runs parallel, separating the path from a grassy field beyond, while dense vegetation and trees line both sides of the path, creating a sense of natural enclosure and tranquility. In the distance, more trees and a faint hint of hills suggest a broader natural setting

A Hosta bud from the garden 🌱 Happy end of the work week! Happy #Scape Friday, all🪻 #FlowersonFriday #FloralFriday #smArtist #Growth #macro #gardeningfeed #hosta #flower #photography #photographersofbluesky

A violet and green hosta bud is facing the camera just left of center so we can see into the closed petals and leaves in the middle of it. On the outside are 5 green, pointed tepals (I think) and a couple emerging petals. To its right is a blurred violet horizontal petal that reaches the edge of the right side. Below the bud is a blurred green stem. The background is many blurred green leaves.

This acrylic painting of a country track in our Yorkshire village takes me right back to that damp, peaceful afternoon - rich earthy colours, a dramatic sky after rain. #ArtYear #smArtist #CountrysideScenes #ArtistOnBluesky Shop here: cardsbymormorjan.etsy.com/listing/1731... #MHHSBD #craftbizparty

A vibrant acrylic painting of a country lane in a Yorkshire village. The narrow track stretches into the distance, its surface wet and reflective after rain. On either side, golden grasses and autumnal hedgerows frame the road. A moody, dramatic sky looms overhead, with a pair of green trees on the horizon adding contrast and depth.

'Drawing In' A funky treeline silhouette framing a multi-coloured evening sky. Leyburn, Yorkshire. Sparty 🌥 #EastCoastKin #Photography #ColorADay #BlueTue #StormHour #PhotoHour #Travel #Nature #ArtInNature #Art #Countryside #smArtist #Peace #ArtYear #RuralPhotography #PhotographersofBluesky

The image depicts a dramatic sunset or sunrise scene with a dark, moody sky dominating the upper portion. A vibrant band of colourful clouds, featuring shades of red, orange, yellow, and blue, stretches across the horizon, providing a stark contrast to the dark sky above and the silhouetted landscape below. The foreground and midground are characterised by the dark, intricate silhouettes of bare trees and branches, suggesting either late autumn or winter, or a time of day when light is minimal. The overall impression is one of natural beauty and striking contrasts between light and shadow.
