A #LoopStitch bedside mat in the making. Too bad chenille yarn feels heavenly but it's actually made in hell (100% polyester=plastic & shedding a lot of fibers=micro plastics). I had some skeins in my possession. Once used up, I'll try to resist the temptation of buying any more

I can't believe there aren't more signatures here. If you have a moment can you please sign this to help them with a total ban on bottom trawling in Gullmarsfjorden? I've seen the impacts of bottom trawling & it is not good.

Little sketch of a local snowy landscape. Contrary to general belief, ice and snow are rare events in the Dutch winters nowadays.

My daughter came to sit for a #portrait session at my local life model painting club. Lately I really like to #sketch or lay the base of a #PastelPainting with PanPastel (pigment powders pressed in a small pan that you apply with tiny sponges).

I'm finally getting back into a painting rhythm! This is the first #PastelPainting of a mini series about #Paris. The second is in the making. For this one I worked almost exclusively with #PanPastel.

I'm secretly happy my husband didn't sell this wonderful artwork yet, as it's now in our living room💚🏡
A watercolor artwork I painted in a forest in the German Eifel - and just did the finish touches to show at a painting festival.

Can any #MarineBiologist review this diagram for accuracy? I made this in the context of an upcoming art exhibition where I will show sea star and marine life related artworks in different media. Thank🩵🙏🙏🙏🦑

I'm not a biologist. I'm just an artist in love with #MarineLife and #SeaStars are my most recent obsession. Can anybody check my #diagram of a typical sea star's lifecycle for accuracy, before I proceed with colours and labels? Thanks⭐ 🦑

Planning new #paintings with some compositional studies. If you are (or know) a scientist specializing in #coralreefs and #aquaticlife in the #BismarckSea region, I’d love to connect. This upcoming series will be about #deepseamining near #PapauNewGuinea.

Today I started laying the groundwork for a big #pastel artwork, featuring 12 #SeaStar species. I think I made one of these charts in primary school for the last time! So much fun 💫
