The story book mushroom!
Wonderfully composed & with a magical air.
I keep wanting to return to the Holiday Hadrosaur theme, perhaps with a different hadrosaur each time, but I'm worn down just thinking of the time and work required, because that's where I am these days. 🥲
This is still Parasaurolophus because that crest feels so redolent of festive fanfare to me.

Violets are great for shading & adds a richness to the work.
It was salvaged by my learning not to be shy about the darkest areas and really layering that velvety black; not with black paint but with caput mortuum violet, Winsor violet, and of course a little ultramarine on top of the pyrrol red.

It still works and gives the feeling of late autumn.
Autumn Leaf 3
Watercolour, approximately 80 × 132 mm.
I lost my way with this one. The extent of the rust spots were paving my way to overworking even without my own blundering, and I of course walked merrily -- and then tearfully -- right into it.

Spending 6 hours at a hospital having a nuclear stress test is an experience, especially when the machine breaks down partway through the day. I think it ought to be renamed "stressful test". But there was the bonus of the visiting therapy dog in the waiting room. #dogs #stress

Read that it is Petula Clark's 93rd birthday today. When I was little, I really liked her son "Downtown" and listening to it now brings back spring days when I was in elementary school, when the world held so much potential. #MusicSky #songs #1960's

What a splendid poem!
On this eve of fifty Novembers
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.

I like this & it creates all sorts of stories in my head. Everyone is beautifully done, of course, especially the dino. It has a wonderful storybook vibe, which is very appealing.
Another of my original artworks in the @changelingart.bsky.social 'Deck the Halls' auction ending tomorrow, 12pm EST.

It is well worth all the time it takes to produce such luminous results.
Glazing in watercolour is time-consuming. Though that's perhaps a redundant explanation, given that everything is time-consuming when I attempt it. 😮💨🙁😑

Whoah, this is a battle! My money is on the rooster, simply for size & ferocity. I know stoats are sleek predators, but that rooster has all claws on deck. I like how the curving ground emphasizes the intimacy of the fight & echoes the swirling action. Full of drama & uncertainty.

For #Caturday I'm posting a wild cat, this clouded leopard that I painted in acrylic some years ago. Got too carried away with the fog, but there's a whole jungle scene in the background, along with some Amboina King Parakeets flying by. #CatSky #Cats #ArtSky #nature #wildlife

For #LetterboxdFriday here are my #LastFourWatched "The Believer" has Ryan Gosling as a Jewish man who becomes a Nazi & is veering back to his heritage at the same time. Pierce Brosnan is dreamy in "I Don't Know...". Tar was somewhat disappointing, especially the first 40 minutes. #FilmSky #Movies

Really like the mood of this one. The colors and the lighting create such an early summer atmosphere, just lovely.
