Crows are a common theme in my artwork because they are the embodiment of cleverness and mystery. Factor in of course their love of shiny things I had to add some real gemstones

When I meet artists I ask them to show me their latest work and the work they're most proud of. This is my piece I'm most proud of.

Picture of an oil painting. It depicts the bowl of a valley in the background are tall majestic snow laden mountains and shades of blues and yellows on a sunny day in the mid-ground is scrub and low bushes. The main focus is a large pile of rocks like glacial till with a stream from the runoff of the mountains running through them. There's a small waterfall into a little pool surrounded by rocks and a light reflects off of them.

"Vixen" on copper leaf got her extra glow up from a chunky wooden frame. I love the fanciful nature of the painting.

Hi Alec. I'll take happy coincidences and things I didn't know for $200!

I love me a good RPG and now I've read a quick blurb on the concept.

My latest portrait painting using egg tempera on gold leaf and also hand made shell gold paint. I went old school Renaissance on this one.

This painting tentatively titled "Chains of my own making" I finished recently. Her snake tattoo is wrapped around her arm in gold leaf and painted with oil paints.

Started cranking through a new gold leaf piece. This is going to look like tufting in the background when completed

Some art just feels like a warm story doesn't it? This painting with the woman cuddled with her companions just feels like a quiet moment of peace.

I really hope so. I already feel like I'm wrong. This post has gotten an insane amount of engagement from previous ones recently

It's sad but I think bluesky is slowing down. We had such a vibrant art scene going for awhile. I hope it eeks past this slump. Until then ART!

This painting of lake Tahoe is nearly done and is also SOLD. A few bright highlights will make it pop. I'm seeking gallery representation this year.

Corvid alert! Love me a crow painting.

Raven posing on a fence

This raven watercolor uses a neutral tint and darker shade of black to create a quick grayscale painting. Kept the feet and feathers simple — not to distract from the beautiful eye and beak.

Got this fresh little fox face all painted in. I just want to squidge his adorable little cheeks. Detail from a larger painting.
