It never touched down. But for a moment, everything else did: thoughts, conversation, time.

Not every storm needs to break.
Not every sign demands a response.
Some things exist just to remind us to look up.

We were just outside Piran, heading inland, when the clouds twisted into something unexpected.

A narrow funnel reached toward the earth — silent, suspended, uncertain...[con't in comments]

The Atlantic Giant Cockle | Sanibel Island, FL

Half-buried, fully poetic. Proof that beauty doesn't need a spotlight—just a tide and a little patience.

"Unforgiving"

~Messily Created by Hand ~

Melted gummies and candies, decorative icing, sparkle gels, digital photography, and post-processing
_____________

#art #BskyArt #artwork #AbstractArt #MixedMedia #ExperimentalArt #DigitalProcessing #ContemporaryArt #ConceptualArt #NoAI #LiveMessy

Abstract mixed-media artwork titled Unforgiving. The textured surface features vibrant, molten-looking patches in red, orange, yellow, and green—resembling scorched organic matter—scattered across a grayish slate-like background. Glossy icing lines in blue and white, along with sporadic droplets and smears, weave between the candy forms, creating a sense of movement and disruption. The materials used include melted gummies, decorating icing, sparkle gels, and digital enhancements. The composition evokes a feeling of chaos and emotional intensity, where the playful origin of the materials contrasts with their turbulent transformation.

"Hidden in the Prune"

The Japanese Friendship Garden | Balboa Park | San Diego, California.

A person, partially obscured by a large, intricately pruned bonsai tree, carefully tends to its branches in a lush outdoor garden. The bonsai, with its weathered trunk and dense, vibrant green foliage, stands in striking contrast to the gardener’s white hair and beige vest. The scene is surrounded by manicured shrubs and a curving brick pathway, evoking calm, focus, and the meditative art of bonsai cultivation—likely in a Japanese-style garden.

Black-and-white photograph of the historic Medical Arts Building in Rochester, New York. The 10-story Art Deco structure features strong vertical lines, geometric detailing, and decorative stonework near the top floors. Trees frame the base of the building, where retail signs are visible, and sunlight casts soft shadows across the elegant brick façade. Originally built for medical offices, the building now hosts a mix of luxury apartments, commercial, and retail spaces, contributing to the vibrant live-work-play atmosphere of the Alexander and Park neighborhood.
