I’m such a sucker for wildflowers. Sometimes I worry I paint them too often but they just make me so happy both in person and when painting them! These are all oil on board and all sold (sorry!)
Anyone got photos of wildflower fields they’ve taken that they think I should paint? Share below!

Oil painting of a sky at sunset with layers of stormy blue clouds. Pale peach clouds peek from the horizon and float in front of the darker distant clouds. A line of dark distant trees silhouetted at the horizon stand in front of swooping golden fields of late summer wild grasses with pink and white flowers scattered towards the foreground.

Gouache (similar to watercolor but slightly more opaque) painting of a pale blue sky behind a deep blue lake and line of mountains. Layers of brush and flower covered hills descend towards the lake in the mid ground. The foreground is this with orange poppies and purple flowers whose name I can recall off the top of my head

Coastal oil painting of a blue sky with pale wisps of cloud at the left horizon. The horizon is lined with small indistinct islands and clusters of sailboats sit at anchor in the stripe of blue water in front of them. The bulk of the painting is taken up by a sandy block of land that thrusts out into the ocean. It is bedecked with layer after layer of blooming pink beach roses.

Oil painting of a late summer wildflower field below a blue sky filled with soft puffs of cumulonimbus clouds. The distant fields are mostly the pale golds and greens of drying late summer wild grass. There is a stand of trees in the right of the field that edges towards the foreground. The foreground is layers of wild grass and bunches of yellow flowers- black eyed susans

Fear stops us from creating.

Fear of failure.
Fear of judgment.
Fear of wasting time.
Fear of being misunderstood.

But what are you more afraid of—staying stuck or finally stepping out of your comfort zone and getting results?

Consider the power of drawing daily for 30 minutes:

- 30 minutes of drawing a day = 15 hours a month
- 15 hours of drawing a month = 1 full illustration
- 1 full illustration monthly = 12 illustrations a year

Your portfolio is going to start filling up pretty quickly.

A mostly green snake with a yellow jaw and a horizontal dark line through its eye is entering the water. The head is just above the water, the neck and the front part is under water. The snake seems to be on its way from somewhere above and to the left of the picture. There's an irregular dark grey surface in the background and some tiny green plants in the foreground.

Another one of my favourite #Nudibranch - Aegires villosus - which roughly translates as the Hairy Norse God Nudibranch. I always used to find these on a very specific white calcerous sponge.

A photograph of a small sea slug that has a white and yellow base colour but is covered in nodules that are predominantly pink tipped. It’s sitting on a white sponge.

An old but interesting experiment with 3D sculpts made visible only by two text gadgets casting colors from different directions.

A gargoyle on a tall pedestal, with gothic window frames on each side, seemingly illuminated from each side by solid red and blue, all against a black background. Made in Dreams.

Hi everyone! So, I guess my post went viral because I went from 70 to over 7k followers overnight. I usually respond to all comments but I can't keep up anymore. I'm still reading through them and I SO appreciate this crazy welcome to Bluesky. In the meantime, please enjoy this pinecone that I drew.
