Contemplating ACEOs. 😉🦌 I made two practice ones to see if I'd find it enjoyable and something I could do. I started with a messy "ugly" abstract to keep it low stakes and no stress about "the first one." You know what I mean? A border worked well on it, but not so much on this one.

A happy little moment, where I saw the sunlight glistening on my stones and the shadows they created, so I decided to slide a piece of paper under it and begin to trace and breathe. Then I took my aquarelle brush and dropped some paint in the shapes.

It's crazy to think it took me all day to pull 4 prints. I remember pulling 13 in much less time. I'm proud of myself all the same. I just wish my body didn't pay the price. 😭 #spoonie #chronicpain #chronicillness #spoonieartist #gelprint #artsky #artistsky

The grungy plate and the messy print. I think it will make for some interesting collage paper. #artsky #artistsky #printmaking #gelprint
This image features a highly textured, vertical abstract mixed media painting executed on paper, showcasing an expressive and raw contemporary style. 
Color Palette 
The composition is dominated by a primary color triad layered over earthy undertones: 

• Muted Blues: Deep ultramarine and cerulean shades anchor the center and base, creating a sense of weight or depth. 
• Vibrant Yellows: Bright canary yellow is scraped and splattered across the top and sides, introducing a high-energy contrast. 
• Earth Tones & Neutrals: Segments of muddy brown, beige, and slate gray occupy the top third, grounding the brighter pigments. 
• Peach/Cream: A singular, smooth oval of light peach paint stands out near the bottom right corner. 

Composition and Structure 
The visual layout suggests a loose, box-like framing structure: 

• The Upper Section: A rectangular block of muted brown and gray forms a heavy "header" across the top, bisected by a prominent vertical drip of bright yellow. 
• The Central Field: A rectangular core of blended blues, greens, and whites mimics a window or an opening, heavily textured with fine, pointillistic flecks of green and yellow. 
• The Outer Borders: The edges are framed by messy, dark scrapings interspersed with bright yellow paint skips, giving the piece a weathered or distressed border. 

Texture and Technique 
The artwork exhibits dynamic, layered printmaking or scraping techniques: 

• Scraped Layers: The paint looks to have been applied, dragged, and pulled using a gel plate & palette knives leaving behind organic voids where the white paper underneath Peeks through.

It's moving week so I brought out the toys to play before I packed them up. #artistsky #artsupplies #artsky
An overhead shot shows a vibrant and somewhat cluttered collection of art supplies spread across a light-colored surface, ready to be packed.In the upper section, there are several black and white paint markers, a small blue palette knife, a black brayer, and a flat paintbrush with orange bristles. A red metal tin labeled "Caran d’Ache" is open, revealing a colorful set of wax pastels.In the middle, a white basket is filled with pink, yellow, and blue markers and a white eraser. Below this, two clear plastic containers are packed with various tubes of acrylic paint. To the right, a set of colorful markers is neatly organized in a clear plastic tray.The bottom half of the image features colorful, abstract mixed-media art pieces on blue and brown paper. Two large text overlays cover parts of the image: a turquoise box in the center describes the artist's "last hurrah" before packing, and a wide magenta banner at the bottom reads, "When all the supplies show up to the packing party at once! 🥳🎉"

Watercolour drawing of a lake at a beautiful location in Ashdon near Saffron Walden where I was fortunate to paint several times. (see alt text) #watercolour #lilypond #pleinair
Quite a large watercolour drawing from a sketching visit to Ashdon. I have a lot of paintings from there, many of which need a little adjusting. Such a pleasure to have had the opportunity to paint there. The owner has one of my paintings but has now sold the property.Unfortunately travelling to venues like this is now a thing of the past as I gave up my car last year. However most of my work will now be botanical and garden paintings focusing on my own garden with lots of planting going on right now!

Throwback to my first big #collage! (With a little assemblage). The theme-Dream destination- #Ireland! It's one of the most challenging & labor intensive projects I've ever tackled. It hosts a lot of technique & supply firsts. It's one of my most treasured pieces even in its imperfections. #Art
Ireland themed mixed media collage and assemblage. It's filled with elements of various popular tourist locations Coastal Scenery: Dramatic cliffs, such as the Cliffs of Moher, are depicted alongside turquoise waters and vertical rock stacks rising from the ocean.
Rolling Green Hills: The "Emerald Isle" is represented through endless rolling pastures, stone-walled fields, and lush meadows typical of areas like the Dingle Peninsula and Connemara.
Flora and Details: Smaller inset images highlight local details such as grazing sheep, blooming wildflowers (daisies and poppies), and even a puffin on a rocky outcrop. 

Whimsical Elements
A central square image features a fairy garden theme, with a tiny red "fairy door" set into a mossy background, surrounded by miniature mushrooms and white flowers. This reflects the "cottagecore" and folklore aesthetic often associated with the Irish countryside.

I've been trying to cut down on my screentime and turn my attention to creating art and learning. Due to my pain and fatigue I don't always have it in me to manage a painting or collage project or the mental energy to deal with the mess or for paint drying, so- I've been trying to paint some

Experiment/ #mentalhealth refuge. My son bought me these Copics a couple years ago. I've been overly precious with them so decided to break the self-imposed restriction & get messy with them! One of this year's goals is to not be afraid to use my "good supplies." Anyone else struggle with that?

In The Frame I’m sad that #SelfPortraitSunday is no longer a thing on here. But I’m finishing the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekFforFramed with an oldie but a favourite. #StunDay #ClassicMono #SelfPortrait #ArtOfSelfPortraiture #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin
Black and white self-portrait reflected in a city window. The photographer stands partially framed by dark window panels, holding a camera up to their face so it obscures their features. They wear a light jacket, slim dark jeans, and casual trainers, with a shoulder bag hanging at their side. Urban buildings and signage appear softly in the background, while diagonal streaks of light fall across the pavement in the foreground, creating a moody, street-photography feel.

The image is an abstract painting on textured watercolor paper, featuring multiple layers of color and pattern. The background has a rich, mottled brown tone at the top, transitioning into darker blue and green shades towards the bottom. Near the top, there are rows of small, circular yellow dots evenly spaced, resembling a starry sky. Below this, a dense cluster of white dots form a curving band, reminiscent of clouds or waves. Interwoven white, wavy lines traverse the middle section, adding a sense of movement and layering. Towards the bottom, clusters of small, yellow oval shapes cover a dark greenish area, suggesting a field or foliage.

Beautiful window installation at Whole Foods. It 'activates' best at sunset. Color is such a magical thing! 🌈 #color #prettythings #photographysky
Sunlight casts vibrant red, orange, and green hues through colored windows onto a grocery store entrance, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.The image shows the exterior entrance of a building with colored windows that cast vibrant reflections onto the pavement. On the left, a green window is adjacent to a red window, while on the right, there are two yellow-orange windows. The reflections from these windows create a vivid array of colors, particularly an elongated orange glow stretching across the concrete ground. The ceiling is wooden with hanging lights illuminating the outside area. To the right, there is a pile of produce and a glimpse into the interior of a store, visible through glass doors.
