In awe the way this embroidery emerges from the bark, like the tree is sharing its heartbeat. The hand shadow is just the right touch. Diana Yevtukh @diana.yevtukh wow us!

Spirit animals heeding the call ...in progress.
I have no idea what I am doing-no end game.
Painting with intuition-not technique. no rules.
still a #wip

Is there room for one more please? This is a beautiful little reminder that we’re all just trying to navigate these waters - why not do it together.

beauty over brawn.
Amidst everything, I crocheted snowdrop bunting to hang at the widow for Imbolc, and wrote a fresh song about dancing in the kitchen and being silly about teaspoons. Holding what I can. Pour in love, and be brave, friends.

I am noticing that the more our country/world spins out of control, the more control I have over myself.

Breaking trail in a huge way.
Been painting the same way for 40 years. It is about time I completely change this all around. No sketch. No photo. No landscape before me.
What is inside me is coming out instead of outside coming in. Here we go. 💪💙

I am loving these landscaoes by Mark Brennan. Every single one is a gem.
Spring Landscape, for #preshrunk2026 at @argyle_fine_art - opening Friday January 23rd. Acrylic on panel 4x5 inches.

At this time, I do not think my painting should be realism. I have a camera on my phone for that and so does half the world. Painting is about paint.
My goal is to see something but let the paint be the thing that rules-not reality.
Its a fight between brain and hand.

Working from memory. Letting the paint dictate the next moves. So much harder than I thought! Now to move on -this study is done for now.

Waiting for the breakthrough.
Quitting things that have been engrained in me for 15-50 years.
I feel lost, empty and angry all at once. When is the sun going to break thru my clouds?
