🍅 This one is taking a while to finish, but I love it. I rotate around the tomatoes to paint each layer, letting some dry and some blend. It always goes through an ugly phase before the final layers are added. #watercolor

Anyone found a good cross-posting option for Bluesky + Instagram. I know, I know, it's meta but it's for my art account and you still have to be on IG for that. Buffer works ok for my meetup but totally fails on my art IG account even though it's a pro/biz one.

I don't normally share process videos, but I love the way the light is hitting these tomatoes at the farmer's market. It makes me think of summer so much with the hot sun beating down and the juicy flavors of a fresh tomato. 🍅🌞 #watercolor #art

I love tomatoes. When I was a toddler, my mom had to beg my Greek grandparents to stop giving them to me because I ate so many I had a rash around my mouth. This little study both reminds me of that but also it's a proud gardener moment. Watercolor on paper 9 x 6.75 in Available #watercolor

Salma has put into words a lot of my thoughts and some of the reasons I quietly quit most of web dev entirely. I'm now focusing more on my art. At least for now. Working offline with my hands has brought back more joy. Of course, getting to sustainable income is harder. (Buy art by humans!)

Memorial Day weekend if often the first time of the year that many of us get to the beach. Remember, rip currents can sweep even the strongest swimmer away from shore. If at all possible, stay near a lifeguard while swimming. Learn more at: weather.gov/beach

Ocean waves are shown breaking offshore with text: Caught in a Rip Current? Here’s How to Survive. Relax, stay calm and float to conserve energy; Swim out of the current by following the shoreline or breaking waves, then at an angle toward the beach; Avoid swimming directly against the current; If you can’t reach shore, yell or wave for help.
