Working on a small oil painting with texture. This colour yellow is my absolute favourite when the golden sky is reflected in the water 🧡💛
Work in progress of my latest oil painting. A blue purple landscape with yellow ponds. A single bird standing in the water.

A little ode to last month! I associate October with many round things: pumpkins, acorns, apples, but also my cats, who become extremely round and fluffy as their fur thickens. Here’s my little ode to the roundest month of the year 🟠

This little oil painting always gives me autumn vibes. I love the warm colours and that's why autumn is my favorite season.

It's International Save the #Vaquita Day!

With fewer than 20 left, the vaquita is the world's most endangered marine mammal. I painted this piece in the hope of raising awareness for vaquita.day.

#SaveTheVaquita #Cetacean #whales #porpoise #endangeredspecies #conservation #Animalart #Sciart
A painting of 2 Vaquitas swimming underwater among some corals and underwater plant life. This painting was made for Save the Vaquita Week 2025 in hopes of raising funds and awareness to help the vaquita come back from possible extinction. Save the Vaquita Postcard Print is a limited run of 100 signed 5x7 inch postcard prints, on premium cardstock, and will be signed and numbered on the back. This hand painted original postcard print is a little token and a reminder that you made a difference in helping the Vaquita. All funds will be donated directly to porpoise.org for Save the Vaquita Week!

Big news for the vaquita porpoise, the most endangered sea mammal! 💙

The time is now to come together to try and save these animals! I believe fully art can help bring awareness.

Join us on Oct 25th for Save the Vaquita Day!

Another from early last year of Progura campestris, a pleistocene megapode bird, encountering a monitor lizard. This one was inspired by getting called at by a malleefowl when I accidentally got too close to its nest 😅. #paleoart #palaeoart
Progura campestris, a large pleistocene megapode bird calls to intimidate a dark grey and white striped varanid who is approaching where she has just buried her eggs. The ground is orange and there are some flowering bushes visible.

You spot a dark show hidden in the canopy, it's clutched to the tree hidden by foliage. Your torch in one hand, camera in the other you zoom in to identify the creature. It's eyes shine a bright purple as you light up it's face, then you see the blood..

October means bird migration. It was a real pleasure to have the lapwing here in the Netherlands during the summer. Until next year!

I used to hate the smudge tool, but now I love it. It took me a while to figure out which settings were just right for a perfect blurred edge!

I don't gatekeep, so I made a free smudge brush set! I've been using it in all my recent art. Grab it here: links.loish.net

Idk if crop will kill this, but anyway… I like this passage by Ted Orland.

Maybe it’ll be helpful for other artists too.
A passage by Ted Orland from The View from the Studio Door. It reads - Personally, I take it as an article of faith that when you make art, you are making the world a better place. Everything that happens afterwards - whether to you or to your art or to society - flows directly from that initial act. You job is to make the art. That’s what artists do.

It was fun, but I probably should learn how to use brighter colors.
