At a huge 48x48", "fleeting" is the largest painting I've created and explores mortality through time. This is the first time and probably last it will be shown. Read the full narrative here: www.mercer-vernon.com/narrative-sk... #sciart #narrativeart #painting #art

🧵1/5 In 5 days… It’s been a long time since I’ve spoken of my skull and bone work. Meaningful work that explores impermanence, memory, and mortality, which balances my floral works that explore growth, renewal, and interdependence. #art #painting #narrative #sciart #skull #caterpillar
Cropped detail of a realistic still life oil painting. Detail shows a human skull lower right facing out of the painting in the shadow of a small worn tree stump with large exposed thick root branches. A small button buck deer skull rests of the left upper side of the stump.

The only way I can manage the anxiety of all that is going on is to paint. Need a break, too? Zoom in on the details and get lost for a few minutes. Grew these in my garden. From seed to painting. 🌸 #art #painting #flowers #zinnias #garden #sciart #floralpainting #joy @bsky.art #botanicalart
Botanical style oil pans of a clear glass vase with a large bouquet of pastel colored zinnias in shades of white, pink, peach, salmon, and yellow. 

One open bloom lies on the ground to the right of the vase. Two small open white zinnias extend above the bouquet on the right and a butterfly drawn in graphite approaches them.

A bee, drawn in graphite, approaches from the lower left to a white downturned zinnia.

There’s a lot that feels heavy right now and to be honest, I’ve found it difficult to step up to the easel without feeling guilty. But these past two weeks I’ve been planning flowers for the summer and thinking about what I wanted to paint, and feeling the need to create.. 🧵 1/4 #art #sciart

Looking across the artist’s drawing table, in the foreground is a small sketchbook with a tiger swallowtail butterfly drawn in graphite. The actual butterfly lies in a green dish center of image. Above cropped and extended out of frame is a painting of yellow sunflowers that the butterfly will be added to. To the right, cropped and extended out of a frame is a small craft container with multiple compartments holding the artist’s bug collection.

Folks, please don’t tell artists they shouldn’t be making or selling their art right now. For many, it’s how they pay the bills. Art is vital during times like this. ALL ART. Whether it’s a protest sign or a book cover or just a beautiful drawing. It’s part of the heart of humanity.

The Trump regime is smearing this man - Alex Pretti - as a “domestic terrorist.” We can’t let them get away with it. Alex Pretti was a patriotic American - far more so than the ICE agent who murdered him on the streets of Minneapolis today. Far more so than Trump, Stephen Miller, or any of them.

Need a doomscrolling break? This was painted for a thematic group show called Taking Chances. It was a lovely change of pace to be a little freer with paint! See it in person through end of January at Red Raven Art Co. in Lancaster, PA. #art #sciart #floralart #painting #flowers #sunflowers #joy
Photo of an art panel with the artist using a ruler and charcoal pencil to draw the lines of the harmonic armature directly on to the panel. There is a text panel overlay that reads “It’s been a long time since I covered an entire panel with paint, so I decided to start like I normally would and drew out the harmonic armature.”Photo of the art panel on the easel with orange lines of the drawing for a painting partially sketched out over the harmonic armature. The artist’s hand and paintbrush are in motion sketching directly on to the panel. The text panel overlay reads “My brain needs structure, and the armature allows me to create dynamic compositions that don’t feel as predictable as the rule of thirds.”Close up of the painting, further along in the process. The large center of a sunflower can be seen and some of the outer panels. The artist’s hand can be seen entering the frame, upper right, holding a paintbrush and painting final details on a bee. The text panel overlay reads “Pushing paint around was fun, but the most surreal moment for me was painting a bee since I normally draw my insects in graphite.”Image of the artist holding the completed painting that is framed in black floater frame. She is mostly cropped out of frame so the focus is on the painting. The painting is of a large sunflower with a smaller sunflower behind it to the left. The centers are a muted yellow ochre with pale off white petals. The text overlay reads “This painting is so different from my other work, but it felt good and I had a lot of fun.”

Why does a new year always feel so good? I've reorganized & cleaned the studio, updated my #Notion workspace, & I'm finalizing my 1st quarter painting plan. What all do you do to start off a new year? (looked at this #iris #painting yesterday, and I can’t wait for irises to bloom again)

It’s not too late to do my #ArtAdventCalendar post! ‘Symbiosis’ Acrylic on panel Cascades frogs hunting prey with the sundew, hidden among mountain wildflowers, as pollinators buzz about. #artist #natureart #ranacascadae
My painting “Symbiosis”. In the middle is a carnivorous Sundew plant, their small glands emit a sticky sweet attractant to catch insect prey. At first glance, the sundew & frogs seem devious, but there is an element of cooperation in the web of life.

Day ten (!) of #ArtAdventCalendar - December is zooming by. Here’s a painted stone from a few years ago with one of my all time favourite birds - a nightjar.
A warm-grey stone with a portrait of a nightjar painted on it. Behind the nightjar is a full moon. A sprig of foliage reaches in from the left-hand-side. Around the edge of the stone are some other names for the nightjar, such as: evechur, gobble rach and Jenny spinner.

These take ages to make but I love making them. Inspired by my local landscape this is the ancient chalk Uffington White Horse. This pot pulled itself apart in the kiln so I did some kintsugi to put it together and, somehow, it just adds to it. #ArtAdventCalendar #ukpotter #handbuiltpottery
