I guess I'm ready for a new re-intro post. Does that make it a re-re-intro post?

I have been painting with watercolors for just over 2 years now. I finally reached a stage where I am happy enough with my own art to hang it on my wall on 7-11-25. I guess it took me long enough! Lol

Links in bio.
A watercolor painting of a bearded iris. It's bottom petals or purple with blue high or low lights. The top petals are yellow with orange highlights. A watercolor painting of a cherry blossom branch. There are three open blooms and several buds stressed out along the length of the branch. There are a soft pink with darker pink shadows. A watercolor painting of a night Time Forest in the winter. Is snowing and obviously dark outside but there is a warm and inviting lantern shining in the darkness. A watercolor painting of a bluejay. He is very regal looking and has one wise looking eye as he is seen in profile. His chest and neck are white with cream and gray shadows while his feathers on his back head and his beak are all blue.

Quoting with night time art.

Never could get good prints of this one. But! It was a wonderful experiment with all the tools: watercolor, ink, colored pencil, gouache.

On-set painting in Watrous, NM.

Oil painting on 18"x24" canvas, inspired by a posted photo from Chuck Wendig. A woodland path covered by a canopy of branches and leaves. 8”x10” oil painting of a house in winter, nestled among snowy evergreens. 18”x24” oil painting of a graveyard in autumn among a hilly landscape. The sky has yellows, reds, oranges and purples of sunset. A pumpkin sits against a large, bare tree, with gravestones dotting the landscape and into the distance. Grey fog creeps along parts of the ground. “Bay Waves”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a bright, open seascape. A large wave crashes onto the shore, as cliffs and clouds sit in the background.

I don't know what I was dreaming but I woke myself up talking in my sleep with a massive headache upon waking.

Hopefully, I can get over this start and not have "A Day."

I'm loving those wintery sunset colours! First wanted to go for just frost blue, but I came across a beautiful reference picture and decided to go with these pastels 🥰

Painting will be available during #Pintopia!

Yeah. This being set to hide by default is going to make it very difficult for artists to get their art seen. Gross.

There's some Advanced moderation settings in Bluesky set to Hide some posts by default, it seems.

The engagement farming one is interesting because it seems lately it seems I have to repost some art myself for it to get a little traction.

A watercolor painting of a Blue mountain scene. There are pine trees along the bottom edge in the foreground and the sky above is shades of yellow and orange. A watercolor painting of a blue jay. His wings and toughed on top of his head are blue as is his beak. Has breast is tan, and his expression is mildly startled. A watercolor painting of a howling Wolf. His head is tipped back, his mouth is open, and he appears to be looking at us as he howls. A watercolor painting of a fall colored Maple leaf. It has got slight green tinge leftover from being on the tree but the majority of it is oranges and browns. You love it! it's a great painting.

Quote with how *you* draw women.

I haven't drawn in years but I used to do it both traditionally and digitally.

An old pencil drawing of mine of a young woman with her hair loose and flowing around her shoulders. She's got one tendril crossing her face. Her lips are full and her expression is hard to read A self-portrait of sorts, I'm looking over my shoulder and my hair is loose. An older pencil drawing of Ka'Tya. Her hair is flowing in a very strong wind out behind and above her.. she's very long ears and a distinguished profile. She's facing into the wind and is confidence in her expression and pose. A digital drawing of My World of Warcraft mage Aegean. Another one looking over the shoulder (what?! it's a good pose!) her hair is long and dark and her eyes are vivid green.

I am literally waiting for (watercolor) paint to dry.
A photo of me looking to the side with my face resting on the back of my hand. I look very bored as I'm waiting for paint to dry. I have purple hair on top of black hair.
