Some new small wooden paintings I made today, looking forward to making many more soon. Does anyone have any suggestions for more creatures to paint on them?🍂✨️

The lower right one has a barn owl head painted on it. There is a watermark in the top right saying 'C T A Johns 2025,' and one saying 'Athene Art' in the lower left. Image of 3 small wooden slices.

Some highlights from Tretawdy Farm this morning: Ruby-tailed wasp, slow worm, small skipper & common spotted orchid. A very underrated HWT reserve: it’s messiness makes it excellent for invertebrates, reptiles and mammals. @herefordshirewt.bsky.social

A depressed man says "sometimes I feel like I've seen too much to ever feel like a normal person." Alex reassures him "hey man... despite everything... it's still you. The man tears up. He says "wow. that's great. Did you make that up?" Alex, confidently says "yes... yes I did..."

My flyers for #herefordshireartweek arrived! They'll be on my table this year and also passed round to people I know soon.

I had fun designing these on Vistaprint which I also used to design my business cards.

I'm really looking forward to September 🧡 How are you all?

Found the 2025 Monster Cereals. All it took was two hours of driving and then a careful selection of the only three boxes that didn't have superficial dents, because those would've driven me out of my mind.

Sharing the pride birb paintings I did back in 21 after taking suggestions on IG. They're still some of my favourites after all this time, I'm thinking I might do more in the future because I enjoyed them so much then! If you have any suggestions for new ones, drop them below #lgbt #trans #birb #art
Photograph of 7 different watercolour paintings of birds each coloured in based on a different lgbt pride flag. The top left is a flamingo in the genderfluid flag colours (pink, purple, black, blue), the top middle is an owl in the trans flag colours (blue, pink and white), the top right is a Harris hawk in the asexual flag colours (black, grey, white and purple), the bottom left is a swan in the pansexual flag colours (pink, yellow, blue), the middle bottom two are a dove in the asexual flag colours holding an asexual flag and a pigeon in the bisexual flag colours (pink, purple, blue), and the bottom right is a tropical mythical bird in the pansexual flag colours holding a pansexual flag.

ya girl drew some more of her tumblr likes
an illustration of a dancing cat under a beam of light and surrounded by sparkles. a tumblr textpost by user ihopeyoucomehomesoon reads "what the hell life goes on, maybe there wont be marriage, maybe there wont be sex, but by god there'll be dancing!" an illustration of two cats sat back to back; one is sad and holding their arm, and the other remains neutral. a quote from arthur miller reads "i may think of you softly from time to time, but i'll cut off my hand before i ever reach for you again"
