A little somethin-somethin’

(One session in, gotta let the paint rest and harden up before I keep going because it’s lifting here and there in defiance)

Update on paintings! My gallerist’s feedback was that it’s hard to sell pieces with lots of loud pinks/magentas — which is cowardly but fair! The tall one WAS looking a bit vaporwave, and my gallery is in NC not Florida. And I like it even better now.

I passed this tree in the mist not to far from my home in Vermont, slammed on the brakes, and reversed on the road to get a picture before the light changed.
Don’t worry, it’s Vermont. Nobody else was there.

Hello Bluesky, I’ve been feeling slightly vulnerable with art lately, I’m determined to follow my passions of painting but struggling to exist in a sea of wonderfully talented people & a little lost where to go.
Here is my tiny painting of a lovely fruitcrow though, I hope you like it 🩵

As cool as Erika’s multicolored ballpoint drawings look on a screen? They’re exponentially better in person. Gotta get me one someday.

Modeled by trans horror author legend @scumbelievable.bsky.social who is even lovelier than I managed to paint her.

Wish more people realised that for most art businesses, there's only one person doing all the work. Creating, shipping, admin, promotion, starting feuds with other artists, painting unflattering portraits of them into historical scenes, trying to poison them, it's all one person.

Reminder to new Terror pals that you can buy my JFJ armfish holiday card. I put the profit margin very low on this.

My fanart is nothing, if not terribly niche. Inspired by weird Victorian Christmas cards and the real JFJ's doodle of a fish with arms.

A piece I wish I could have seen in person 😍
‘A Gilded Chain is Still a Chain’
I made this in tribute to the medieval Unicorn Tapestries. In the final tapestry the unicorn is imprisoned under a pomegranate tree that is dripping. I imagined if she escaped, she would want to destroy the tree and its fruits!

Athene
Oil on panel, 12x16 inches

A intentionally peaceful Athene (Athena) — relaxed and at rest, her helm and spear at hand but not in use. Olive branches are scattered around, one tied to her spear. The inscriptions behind her are some of her various epithets in Ancient Greek. 🌿

Did a very little plein air (oil on copper)

Looks like a party on my palette but that’s from previous sessions, this one was 4 colors and about 30 minutes

(And don’t worry I see the couple of draftsmanship errors I need to fix, plein air purism be damned)

A thread about the Pomegranate design in my pendant and pin Kickstarter (which is now funded and ending in less than 3 days!).

The pomegranate is one of the most iconic plants from Greek mythology, thanks to our perennial fascination with the story of Persephone and Hades.
