A new painting I just finished for a new show, "Poetic Response" - "Don't Cry For the Horses" oil on canvas, 16" x 20" - there is a story behind it. #fineart #art #oilpainting #wildhorses #skyart #artoftheday #myart #horses #storytelling @fineartgallery.bsky.social @blueskyartists.bsky.social

I decided my dog was a very beautiful model, and she deserved her own portrait, where she loves to sit on the boulders overlooking the valley and watch the sunrise. "Izzy at sunrise" oil on canvas, 16" x 20" #art #oilpainting #dogs #mydog #myart #skyart

I've been very busy and on a social media hiatus as I work on things in the "real world" - completing several new paintings. Here is one I completed today: "Mustangs at Shiprock" oil on canvas, 16" x 20" #myart #art #oilpainting #horses #southwest #newmexico @fineartgallery

In honor of World Art Day, here is a painting I just finished. I have been visiting the Bisti Wilderness, and the surreal and unearthly beauty of it has moved me deeply.
"The Alien Throne/Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness" oil on canvas, 12" x 26" #worldartday #art #oilpainting @fineartgallery.bsky.social

Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness - sacred Dine lands - a most incredible place #photography #travel #navajonation

Today's #februArty prompt is #turquoise and the first thing that comes to mind is the beautiful colors of Greece and Santorini. I spent a lovely summer month there in 2019, and it was sublime. Here is an #oilpainting of a #cat against the scenery, I so much enjoyed it. #skyart #artshare @bsky.art

For #artyear I thought I would look back to 2022 when I was exploring a vacant shadows technique in the #stilllife #oilpainting of an interesting and kitschy #rabbit statue. #februArty #artshare #artsky #skyart @bsky.art

Today's #februArty prompt is #blueskyartshow so here is a painting of #oranges #lemon slice and a #pink grapefruit, along with an ice cube on a #blue table. I am looking forward to warm weather and this reminds me of that. #artshare #fruit #art #stilllife #oilpainting #fineart @bsky.art

Today's #februArty prompt is #pair and that can leave lots of intepretation - but I decided on this pair of kids in a garden I painted while visiting friends in France. #artshare #oilpainting #landscape #skyart #artsky @bsky.art @fineartgallery.bsky.social

Here is a small plein air #oilpainting I did last year when I was camping, #sunrise in New Mexico, the view from my camper. Today's #FebruArty prompt is #orange and New Mexican sunrises and sunsets are usually colorful and dramatic, I love them. #artshare #artoftheday #artsky #fineart @bsky.art

Hello friends, I have been absent because I was in Mexico for the last few days getting my teeth fixed 🙂🦷 I go to a wonderful clinic there and they always do a great job, but I'm home now. I did get to see the Superbowl in the local cantina and that as fun-- great nachos too 😁😁 #travel

Late to the game today, and I don't have any #fishyfebruary paintings, but I did come across this 😄 #art #lol

Today's #februArty prompt is #eyes - here is an informal oil portrait I did of my cousin's little girl on her 9th birthday. She has the most beautiful eyes, and so shy, but she gave me a sweet smile. #artshare #portrait #oilpainting #skyart #artsky

I didn't see a particular prompt for #artyear and #februArty so I decided to post this antique hobby horse/rabbit I painted in 2022. #artshare #oilpainting #stilllife #skyart @bsky.art @fineartgallery.bsky.social

Today's #februArty prompt is #purple so here is a landscape I did in Spring of 2021, of beautiful hydrangeas overgrowing the back of a neighboring property. #oilpainting #artyear #fineart #art #artoftheday #landscape #skyart @bsky.art @fineartgallery.bsky.social

Today's #FebruArty prompt is about #sensoryart and the theme is #fuzzy so here is a little oil painting commission I did a while back of a fuzzy and fluffy little owl under a mushroom. #artshare #artoftheday #oilpainting #skyart @bsky.art

Here is a little gouache painting I did for a friend a while back for her birthday. I have no paintings of shoes, sorry, for today's #februArty prompt, but I do have a red hat 😊🌻 #artshare #skyart #artoftheday #womensart

Today is the #blueskyartshow with the theme of #light - I painted this little plein air #oilpainting while I was in Romania, and that is a black swan on a pond at #twilight . I don't know if there's a #febuArty but if there is, it would be fun 😊 #artshare #landscape #artoftheday @bsky.art

The last prompt for #JanuArty is #angle - I remember working with this model for a series of nudes in nature and it was both interesting and challenging. #landscape #oilpainting #artshare #nude #artoftheday #fineart #art @bsky.art

The #JanuArty prompt for today is #green - here is a small plein air #landscape I did of a pasture with wildflowers by Blue Mountain in PA. #oilpainting #artshare #artoftheday #artsky #skyart @bsky.art @fineartgallery.bsky.social

A little bit of snow today, just enough to be pretty and not too much to turn things down on the dirt road ugly ☃️ #photography #snow #desert #southwest
January 29, 2025 at 2:48 PM
Today's #JanuArty prompt is #curve but I really didn't have any "curvy" artwork, but I did think the curve of these brass dolphins tails was interesting in my still life from a few years back. #oilpainting #artshare #fineart @bsky.art @fineartgallery.bsky.social

Today's #JanuArty prompt is #flat - here is a #oilpainting I did of a flat woodland with a a carpet of purple pansies. I am very much looking forward to the warmth of Spring again. 🪻🌷#landscape #artshare #artsky #flowers
January 28, 2025 at 12:46 PM
Today's #JanuArty prompt is #red so here is a still life I did in a vacant shadows technique with two ceramic pieces and a poinsettia. #artshare #stilllife #oilpainting #skyart #artsky #artoftheday @bsky.art @fineartgallery.bsky.social

Today's #JanuArty prompt is #broken so I had to go way back to find this one, from when I was in the UK, and I painted a little 8x10 plein air of some sheep on a crumbling wall of a ruin #oilpainting #artshare #art #landscape #artoftheday #skyart @bsky.art
