#Sunlight peeks through the forest, illuminating the sitting goddes as she dips her feet in the river of another world. She’s looking at you #BlueskyArtShow

Oil brush, pattern brushes and light pen in #procreate
A vibrant digital painting of a celestial goddess from another world, seated on a stone ledge at the edge of a glowing river. Her rich, warm-toned skin is illuminated by dappled sunlight filtering through a lush, otherworldly forest of towering green palm fronds. She wears a flowing, oversized blue shirt that drapes over her powerful frame, with long, lavender hair cascading from beneath an elaborate floral crown of roses, lilies, and tropical leaves. Her golden hoop earrings catch the light, and she gazes into the distance with a serene yet commanding presence. Her legs, adorned with glowing blue crisscrossing straps, dip into the shimmering water, creating ripples of light. The deep purple night sky behind her is speckled with stars, adding to the ethereal, dreamlike quality of the scene.

A 2nd left-handed digital oil so that I can continue with Alai Gazuna's color theory class despite my fractured right elbow. Goal was to paint a very neutral still life using COLOR. I think I won! 😃

Big props to Alai for her fantastic instruction.

And one more for good measure because hey #februarty we only need 18 more pieces of art in #artyear to break the record
A surreal black and white digital illustration of a person peacefully sleeping, hugging a pillow while their head transforms into octopus tentacles. The tentacles spread outward, curling and twisting against a highly detailed, intricate background filled with abstract patterns, geometric shapes, floral elements, and swirling circular designs. The person’s face is calm, with closed eyes and a serene expression. The grayscale tones and stippled shading give the image depth and texture, blending elements of fantasy and dreamlike surrealism.”

Sometimes our souls feel pared down....and that is the best time to connect with small beautiful things and let them fill up your soul.

A painting with a dark blue background. A marble bust of a woman with her eyes closed is surrounded by abstract flowers and leaves in red, blue, green and white, as if there is a flower shower.
