Audre Lorde in 76,344 words. To draw her portrait, I wrote her line, “Your silence will not protect you,” quite a few times. #Stunday #AudreLorde #wordportrait #graphite #pencil #drawing #traditionalart #smArtist #artyear #SensoryArt #warrior #poet

A graphite portrait drawing of Audre Lorde made with thousands of written words. Lorde appears in three quarter view—her eyes looking forward and slightly downward, her hand resting prominently on her chin.
(The line is from Lorde’s essay, “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action.” The reference photo was taken by K. Kendall on Flickr under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license.)

Happy place with the fam. #BlueSkyArtShow #GetOutside #JuneSea #family #SensoryArt #perspective

An ocean scape and portrait. In the foreground, the shadows of three figures, a couple with their dog, stand together on the beach. The ocean fills the middle ground with blue sky and clouds above.

For #BlueSkyArtShow #narrow …the narrows where the Chester meets the Chesapeake. #mobilephotography #peaceful #reflections

A calm waterscape. Clouds and some blue sky reflect in the narrows, where a river runs into a bay.

With some renewed hope from No Kings Day, a late nod to this queen, the 10,000 joys she has brought and brings. #BlueSkyArtShow #joy #canecorso #rescuedog #dogsofbluesky #resist

A black cane corso on a carpeted floor stares directly at the camera with a noble expression. Her paws are neatly crossed atop her rope toy.

For #BlueSkyArtShow #joy… World Pride in DC last weekend. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 #lgbtq #saygay #loveislove #HappyPride

Two people march down a street in the World Pride Parade. They are both smiling and holding a large rainbow flag over their heads.

A double rainbow for Pride Month 🌈 🌈 and…#BlueSkyArtShow #vibrant #JuneSea #illuminate #SensoryArt #glow

A double rainbow arcs over a body of water peppered with boats. Green hills gently slope to the sea in the background.

A peek under the hood. Words under words under words. (Audre Lorde word portrait progress. “Your silence will not protect you.” 11,000+ times and counting.) #Hope to be finished soon! #BlueSkyArtShow #Underneath #pencildrawing #writing #artprocess #wip #smArtist #SensoryArt #artyear

A collage of 3 images. On the top left side, a photo of a mechanical pencil and the first layers of written words. On the bottom left side, another process photo—a detail of her cheek and lip. In some areas, the words are legible, while in others, the layers of words blend together. Lastly, the image on the right side of the collage is a larger detail of the realistic Audre Lorde portrait, made/written/drawn entirely out of her own words.

Photo of geese in flight against a slate blue sky. Their formation looks like a perfect check mark.

“…Until the moss had reached our lips, And covered up our names.” –Emily Dickinson #BlueSkyArtShow #Green #moss #macro #poetry #scape #SensoryArt #contrast #mobilephotography

A moss scape of green on green branches resembles a dense forest, but the photo is a macro shot of hypnum moss in the backyard.

Dead end road launch. #scape #contrast #SensoryArt #AlphabetChallenge #WeekRforRoads #peaceful #sunset #clouds #reflections

A road in a nature preserve dead-ends at a riverbank, the water, reflecting the dusk pink color of the sky. In the foreground, a vast puddle in the road looks like another road of sorts, also dead-ending at the river. Mirroring the sky and clouds, this puddle “road” could be a beginning. It could lead anywhere.

A good day for a pitbull after the last 100. #dogsfordemocracy #artyear #dogdrawing #graphite #pencil #traditionalart #dogsofbluesky

A realistic graphite pet portrait I drew of a pitbull named Chase. He stares straight ahead, mouth ajar, revealing his tongue and bottom teeth.

“What does it mean that the earth is so beautiful? And what shall I do about it?” —Mary Oliver, Long Life #love #Earth #BlueSkyArtShow #poetry #beauty #sunset #scape #nature #artyear

Photo of a bright blue sky with puffy cumulus clouds in diagonal streaks, from upper left to lower right. At the very bottom is a thin, bright orange stripe of sky and the small, distant setting sun, peaking below the cloud line. While the photo was originally of a sunset over a bay, the body of water has been cropped out to emphasize the sense of atmosphere of our beautiful “Blue Marble” Earth.

Bringing good Qi, our silver-senior corso (queen) in her happy place in the sun. #acoloradAyPRIL #silver #gold #AlphabetChallenge #WeekQforQs #ClassicMono #pets #dogsofbluesky

A black cane corso, silvered with age, lies on a wooden bridge in the sun, content after a walk. Her large head in 3/4 view takes up much of the frame. Her mouth is open, revealing her tongue and formidable teeth. Sun-sheen lights up her face and her smile.

Niamh @scribedogstudio.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

Near the blue hour… #dream #BlueSkyArtShow #scape #acoloradAyPRIL #NavyBlue #sunset #nature #escape #breathe

Chasing Pavements…🤔 And the cuter smile goes to…Nina or the pavement? 😝 #faces #SensoryArt #pareidolia #twins #dogsofbluesky #tgif

A black dog, silvered with age, sits on a road in the sunlight and smiles. Marks on the pavement before her resemble a face, almost matching her very own smile.

Hello, beautiful. Green sea turtle in a #turquoise blue sea.🩵🌊🐢💙 #acoloradAyPRIL #SensoryArt #faces #seaturtle #AlphabetChallenge #WeekPforPatterns

A green sea turtle floats at the surface of a tranquil Caribbean Sea. Its head peeks out of the brilliant turquoise blue water for air.

A #peaceful #caturday to you. (Graphite & charcoal on Bristol board) #BlueSkyArtShow #catart #petportrait #traditionalart #catsofbluesky

Pencil drawing of a mostly white cat with marmalade markings on the top of its head and ears. The cat is peacefully draped on the arm of a chair, its front right paw outstretched and dangling, as the cat stares directly at the viewer.

Graphite drawing of a diamondback terrapin at eye-level, its head peeking out of its shell.

All words…51,102 of them. (Drew this word portrait of W.B. Yeats by writing his poem “The Second Coming” 306 times.) 😅 #drawing #poetry #wordportrait #yeats #ireland #wordart #irishpoetry #graphite

On a wooden desk sits a pencil drawing, a portrait of the Irish poet William Butler Yeats as an old man. His hair is grey and white, his eyes cast down. In the lower right corner of the frame, a hand holds a counter that reads “306.” That is the number of times the artist wrote Yeats’s poem “The Second Coming,” drawing him. (In this style of portrait, the subject’s own words—down to each handwritten letter—become the intricate marks that form their likeness.)

Our sunshine…💙 #BlueSkyArtShow #sunlight #pets #joy #rescuedog #dogsofbluesky

Close up portrait photo of a senior Cane Corso dog smiling with a wide open mouth and tongue out. The silvered black dog sits on a dock under a blue sky in bright sunlight, exuding joy.

Here’s babygirl Nina, a (now very senior) Cane Corso rescue. My copilot, she inspired me to pick up a pencil again after many years without so much as a sketch. Drew this in 2018. And grateful still. #BlueSkyArtShow #monochrome #pencildrawing #graphite #rescuedog #canecorso #dogportrait

Choosing love (by way of nature, good light, a little beauty) to begin. Glimmers. ✨ #sunset #firstpost #bluesky #pinkclouds #glimmers

Photo of sunset on the beach of a calm bay. Light breaks through low clouds on the horizon and sun-reflected water ripples through the opening in a breakwater. Pink altocumulus clouds blanket a blue sky above.
