My thoughts exactly, as your post was right on time. At this point, those words should just be tattooed onto me. 😩

I know it’s not Halloween or Christmas yet, but I just love this digital drawing, that I made last week, so much that I couldn’t wait that long to share it. Surely, I’ll repost then too.

Stumbled onto this today. I think similar thoughts this often.
Quote in white lettering over image of red and black sunset. “Colonialism didn't just steal land-it rewrote the story of nature. It taught us to see the Earth as something to dominate, not something to belong to. The fight for decolonization is the fight to unlearn this lie and rebuild our relationship with the planet.” ~ @earthlyeducation

I’ve stood and recited the first two (the first way too many times to recall). Everyone in the military has to recite at least one of these and I’m fairly certain congress swears a similar oath. Interesting, isn’t it? 🤔

Can you guess where I’d love to be right now? Finished this piece this afternoon, and now I’m missing my favorite place.

I’m a day late for ah Earth Day post, but I added more to this sketchbook page. Thinking maybe I’ll contribute to work on it digitally and add in some color 🤔

Almost every day I add something to this sketchbook page. Since I meant to post this two days ago, there’s more to it now. I’ll share every so often until it’s done. I really love drawing creatures of the sea.

I don’t use pastels often but I sure do love blending colors, especially to create the appearance of skin. In my happy place🥰

Did a digital motion study. It was interesting 🤔 I really love the look of the fading arms.

I’ve only made use of #FIRE once, as it pertains to art. I’m not sure if I’ll do it again, but now I kinda want to 🤔

Pulled out an old sketchbook and found this India ink sketch (painted sketch?🤔🤷🏾‍♀️😂) I made of my youngest daughter taking a nap. Kids grow way too fast 😭

Acrylic painting. Color matching practice. Painted based a photo I took from my bathroom window, of the least time the Aurora was visible here.

I don’t collage often but it’s an art form I’m learning to love. I was quite surprised with how easily I was able to collect these images from my old copies of Entrepreneur Magazine. I’m always daydreaming about more vacation.

Slowly working on turning this fountain picture (taken in Sintra, Portugal) into what my imagination saw before I even lifted my camera.

Am I a photographer? No, but I do take some of my own photos for reference and inspiration. While on vacation I definitely took several photos I plan to work from in the near future.

Took a small vacation. Coming back with art in my luggage and on my body 🥰
Goodbye Portugal! It’s always a great time. See you again soon!
