I don’t usually post for #Caturday, but I saw the Oscar winning animated movie FLOW last night and have to say: Highly Recommended. Art is STUNNING. 5 years in the making! These artists really know every detail as to how a cat moves

Self portrait, 1649 by Flemish painter Michaelina Wautier, recently recognized as an outstanding Baroque artist. Her paintings were previously attributed to male artists, including her brother, as happened to other past female artists #womensart

Reposting some art I made in support of Ukraine shortly after the dictator Putin started the full scale invasion of their country. We all know the truth of this aggression. Blue and Yellow - the colors of the Ukrainian Flag, the sunflower, a national symbol. Slava Ukraine!
