Poodle! Felt happy creating this art. When I saw the daisies I had a different idea. But the moment I placed them on the table, poodle eyes laughed at me. #botanicalart #illustration #nature

Poodle made from daisies.

Botanical art depicting a playful poodle’s face, creatively arranged using white flowers and petals on a dark background. Rounded blossoms mimic the curly fur, while darker-centered flowers form expressive eyes. Small flowers and petals shape the smiling mouth and perky ears, bringing the charming dog to life.

was mostly keeping it together until I read Kyle MacLachlan's tribute to David Lynch

"Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.

What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.

Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.

David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.

While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.

I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.

His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.

I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone.

David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything."

I was thinking extreme climate is not about nature going berserk. It is a way for Nature reclaim all that humans selfishly possess. The five elements are powerful enough to destroy mankind and they will exist even when we aren’t around. Let that sink in. #losangelesfire

Sabarmati Ashram- Where light plays with dark Wind plays with leaves The ripples of Sabarmati a soft murmur. Students descend from a bus, run through the corridors. Bachchon, look at the Mahatma, the teacher shouts. The behenji’s sweep the gathered dust with long handled mop, History remains.

A poem about Sabarmati Ashram-
Where light plays with dark
Wind plays with leaves
The ripples of Sabarmati
a soft murmur.
Students descend from a bus,
run through the corridors.
Bachchon, look at the Mahatma,
the teacher shouts.
The behenji’s sweep the gathered dust with long handled mop,
History remains.

Behenji, the lady who sweeps the corridors of the Ashram

I’ve known Gulmohar as Flame of the Forest and Caesalpinia as Peacock flower. When we were travelling to Badrinath(I was 13), winding thru mountains, I thought that there was a huge mountain slope on fire and screamed. Was told that is was a flower called Gulmohar. We stopped to pick up some 😀

This tiny damselfly has the finest wing details I have ever painted! I have to deal with it with the finest brush that has only one or two hairs. Well, don’t laugh at the bee butt! Have a cheerful day! #botanicalart #SciArt #insect #naturalhistoryart #artforactivism

A Persimmon fledgling. I tasted the fruit for the first time. It was not loaded with sweetness but it was good. I loved the leaves on the top and thought it looked like a fledgling waiting for its mom to bring food. Just put the fruit skin together to create this. Do you like the fruit?

Winter morning~ warming its heels on stone~ an Eggfly

The image shows a female Common Eggfly butterfly (Hypolimnas bolina) resting on a sunlit, textured stone surface. Its dark brown wings are fully open, displaying prominent white spots that are characteristic of the species. The warm, earthy tones of the stone contrast with the butterfly’s subtle yet striking coloration, highlighting its natural beauty. The butterfly, commonly found in India and other parts of Asia, is known for its calm demeanor and preference for sunny gardens and open spaces.
Accompanying the picture is a micro-poem describing the scene.

Very often I bring diverse things together to create art. The wings are banana stem, an acacia seed pod and Impatien flowers. #botanicalart #gardenart

The image showcases a creative botanical art piece resembling a flying insect. The wings are crafted from an acacia seed pod, featuring its natural curved and dotted texture. The body is made from coiled strips of banana stem, adding a dynamic, swirling effect. Below the insect are two vibrant pink flowers with delicate petals, providing a striking contrast to the earthy tones of the insect design. The composition is placed against a clean white background, highlighting the details and natural textures of the materials.
