I've been working as a #breadbaker for 12+ yrs now. I've been seriously #painting for 5. It's taken me this long to get around to painting some #bread and I'm not sure why. (This is bread from my job! I mixed all and shaped most of it.)

Fresh off the easel, here's my finished #whale #painting, with beluga and bowhead whales swimming (or flying) through the #glow of the #auroraborealis

(now I just need to name it)

I relied on the #angles of point perspective for this #painting for a friend who's obsessed with both #capybaras and #ancientrome

#Painting progress! Ft. masking tape used for masking so I can repaint bits of the background under my #whales It's nice to pick this up again after a month or so of very important knitting projects

My show on Sunday went really well, but I'm excited to have time to paint again! I roughed in the next part of this #WIP I started back in June and am looking forward to #painting all the #whales over the next few days! (Whales are my favorite animals)

Two paintings of a blanket #octopus for #blueskyartshow #alternating. I learned, when I looked for reference photos, that they iridesce in darker water, so I had to make an alternate version of this painting for a #cephalopod loving friend.

Here's a #painting of a #waterlily with its #smooth and shiny leaves for #blueskyartshow. Figuring out the highlights on the leaves was surprisingly tricky

How about some #narrow bookmarks for #blueskyartshow today? Most of these went to friends during the pandemic, but the #bookworm design is from a few months ago

Doing some work on a big painting this afternoon. I'm happy with how the background's turning out!

A #vibrant #autumn planter from a couple years ago with coleus, lantana flowers, and Russian sage for #blueskyartshow. One of my favorite things about fall is how the gray skies make all the colors glow

#Charcoal tree from this past fall, for #blueskyartshow #lightandshadow. I sketched this over the course of a couple afternoons, and even though charcoal isn't my favorite medium, I'm happy with the results

Drew a mergnome for #mermay and I think he needs an animal friend but I'm not sure what. Please comment with suggestions

Painting of my sister's cats Phobos and Deimos, based on a photo she took, for #Blueskyartshow. I tried to keep my brush strokes loose to convey the #texture of their fur.

Finished a set of #bookmarks for #Pride next month. I tried to represent as many identities as I could. The figures on the "We have always existed" bookmark are Sappho, Emperor Ai, Chevalier d'Eon, and Tesla (who may have considered himself ace if the term had been around)

Once again late to the #blueskyartshow (hopefully fashionably so). Here is a sketch of an epiphyte hanging on a tree and the painting I turned it into. If you recognize the type of plant, please comment, since I would love to know

Bridal Veil Falls in Bedford, #Ohio. The water itself (fortunately!) doesn't fit this week's #blueskyartshow theme of #green but the foliage does

Late to the party, but #blueskyartshow, do you think this is my pothos's #dream?
