Dog reflects how I feel - caught between light and shadow, trying to release my burdens like a lantern into the sky... I hope it resonates with someone out there and if it does - we can do it, don't give up 💛🫂 #relatableart #dogart #creativeexpression #surreal #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my latest painting, “The Weight of the Bloom”. It’s part of a series where I turn anxiety into something absurd.

I've been working on #paintings where I turn my anxiety into something visual and ridiculous. That's basically what my brain feels like most days: a worried dog wearing something impractical - me XD

These paintings are personal to me, but I hope they can offer a little comfort.

With love, SHAKNYS

I had a plan to finish four #paintings in one day. I managed one xD Today, I’m trying to continue with the second one... But of course... I’m #tired and I’ve got allergies hitting me hard xD

What type of person are you? The one who knows when to rest? Or the one who pushes through no matter what?

The night stars fell from sky to see you ✨

I can't sleep lately but for some reason it's very good for my creative productivity xD unfortunately not so good for everything else xD

Turned my painting into a greeting card and made an illustration for a friend named Oak because I'm bad with words and I didn't know what to write xD

This piece came from thinking about those quiet moments when the world feels huge and cold, but there’s this small, warm comfort that keeps you grounded. I used acrylics and tried to bring out that magical, otherworldly vibe.

I made this little fever dream on a 4.3 x 5.9-inch piece of paper. Sure, it's tiny, but I swear it has more personality than the majority of people I've met. It's out in the world now - take it in, feel that WTF xD

This quick acrylic piece, painted on an uneven primed hardboard, is dedicated to all the beloved pets who've crossed the rainbow bridge💛
