Second art piece I had done by the wonderfully talented @tamvmat.bsky.social ! This one of my character Lavinia Zalinski. An older woman with a tragic past, loving how she came out and the expression is perfection! Thank you again for taking the commissions and for working so fast!

in the meantime, please enjoy some fog shots from days gone by
Sailing vessels tied up at a dock, silhouetted in dense fog. in the foreground, a tiny creek trickles down a gravel beach into the sea Big old fir tree leans out over a rushing river rapid on a very foggy winter morning A stand of tall conifer trees in second or third growth forest, in heavy fog

I was reminded that I hadn't shared some foggy photos I took recently
#fog #foggy #westcoast
A few buildings sitting in a field with fog behind and a highway in front A rather liminal looking scene of a foggy rocky beach. The sun hangs in the sky obscured by fog A steep hill down to the ocean but you can't see far because of dense fog. A figure is visible in the distance A tree making neat shadows as sunlight passes through fog and its branches

This will likely be my only ever politics drawing. It was an image that popped into mind, remembering an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. The Flying Dutchman kept scaring SpongeBob over and over until he became oversaturated. Somehow.. this seemed appropriate. I had to draw
