Took this photo from the train this week while on my way #home from a long journey. Though I tried to minimise the reflection in the glass the train’s strip lights in the middle of the clouds are still quite visible.

Photo of a sunset on the ocean with some slight train window reflections.

I saw this incredibly thick cloud last week under an otherwise clear sky.

Photo of really dense fluffy cotton wool cloud against a blue sky with a small silhouette of a bird flying in front.

I painted this ages ago and never listed it because I decided it needed more bubbles (just scattered everywhere imo). Grateful for the fact that the #blueskyartshow theme today is #shiny because it’s reminded me that I need to redo this.
Shiny bubbles painted on black fabric with bleach.

I particularly love painting things that shine, glow, and sparkle when I’m using bleach on black fabric. Just seems like a good medium for it.

Don’t know what this is but it’s certainly #jagged

Photo of some sort of purple plant, presumably a flower, with purple spiky petal-like things.

I would like to express my #Gratitude for whichever other neighbour throws seeds on to the patch of dirt in the middle of the courtyard that all our flats share. I get to see constantly changing blossoming plants when I walk out the door.
#Grateful
#BlueskyArtShow
Photo of a courtyard with some cobblestones missing in the middle where various plants are growing. Some very pink flowers and some red berries in the middle of a courtyard.

I didn’t think I’d have anything for this weeks theme, but had a look through my photos and realised I’m often asking people to stand #sideways because I want pictures of the art I’m making from every angle. Maybe not the most aesthetically pleasing images, but they fit the brief ✅
#BlueskyArtShow
Photo from the side of someone wearing a tracksuit that has pebble-like images painted down the side of the sleeves and the legs in bleach. Photo from the side of someone wearing a black dress with a spiderweb painted on in bleach.

Photo I took a few days ago of someone who needed to #GetOutside doing just that.

This seagull is fairly new to the world, and shouting at people who are inside that they need to #GetOutside

The second draft painted with bleach on some scrap fabric. Still making my mind up between doing #clouds, or #stars, or both.
A river flowing through mountains in the moonlight, painted with bleach on black fabric.

This is the first draft of a shirt design but I like how it turned out so I’m keeping it. I enjoy painting the #moon and #mountains and #rivers so I wanted to do them all at once.
#BlueskyArtShow #Narrow
White pencil on black paper drawing of a river flowing between some mountains in the moonlight.

There’s a lot of misinformation about the stonewall riot, who took part, who denounced them, what they were defending. A reminder, in case you haven’t listened to it yet, of these podcast episodes that clarify a lot workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e25-... #pride #lgbt

Something that brings me a lot of #joy: when the flowers are taking over.
#BlueskyArtShow
Photo of some old steps with an ornate handrail leading up to a front door. There are lots and lots of tiny purple flowers growing out of the cracks.

I expect this is a photo of a joyous occasion as nothing fills me with #joy as much as eating and feeding.

Not a very poetic interpretation of the theme, but I took this photo a few days ago and it seemed like an obvious fit.
Photo of the words “BODILY AUTONOMY” and “FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION” painted on black fabric with bleach.

My favourite of my recent designs and the most fun to do. The restrictions of #gender and categories of #sexualorientation are put on us all, and being #queer is the resulting marginalisation, without which #lgbtpride wouldn’t exist. #bodilyautonomy and #freedomofassociation are not too much to ask.
Photo of a black T-shirt with “BODILY AUTONOMY” and “FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION” written all over it in stencil writing with bleach.

I don’t make a lot of #vibrant art but was drawing with friends from memory. Couldn’t photograph the colours when I’d seen it in person, but the turquoise and orange reflection mix made each colour brighter. My impression with crayons didn’t do it justice, believe me it looked great. #BlueskyArtShow
Sunset drawn with crayons, including purples, pinks, orange, yellow, and a turquoise sky reflected everywhere.

I’ve been writing on clothes recently, and some of it is particularly suitable for June so I wrote some listings yesterday. I might post them all separately as well but here is the current collection. a-room-with-a-view.co.uk/paintings-of...
I’ll post the Etsy links below too.
Photos of 5 T-shirts, two say “Queer Liberation Not Rainbow Capitalism” in different fonts, two say “The Future Is Queer” in different fonts, and one has “bodily autonomy” and “freedom of association” written all over it repeatedly.

Was recently having a drink outside and when I lifted up my beer to finish it I enjoyed the way the evening sun lit up the golden colours, so I tried to take a photo. The picture has a certain familiar feeling for me. Thought it might make a contribution to today’s #blueskyartshow theme #vibrant
Inside of an almost empty glass of beer. The sun is in the background and makes the beer glow.
