I'm one of those who gets summer S.A.D. and feels physically attacked by the heat and light of the season, along with a sort of depressed agitation and irritability, making me want to hide away alone.
But I still love beautiful flowers.

#BloomScrolling #Photography #iPhonePhotography #Art #ArtYear
A close-up landscape photo of a pink poppy. The view is top-down, looking right into the flower. The pale green immature seed capsule is at the top, just to the right of center. White stamens tipped with bright yellow pollen surround the capsule like rays. The petals are pale pink near the center, deepening to hot pink toward the edges, with attractive streaking of the colors.

Don't you love it when FedEx says your birthday package will be delayed because it's too nice out to deliver it?

There's a beauty in the colors, patterns, and textures of worn-off graffiti. It's like an abstract painting.

A close-up photo of worn off spray painted graffiti that looks like an abstract painting. There is more color at the top becoming less toward the bottom in attractive wearing patterns. The colors are hot pink and cerulean blue with a little black and dark gray, on pale gray low-texture cement.

The cats are considering this shot for their next album cover.

#Caturday #Cats #CatsOfBluesky
A square photo of 3 white cats. The photo is from outside the house, looking through a few thin bare branches at cats in the window. The cats are sitting close to the glass and looking out toward the camera. They are posed attractively, in a triangular formation as if they are posing for their portraits. The slightly foggy glass gently reflects plant shapes. The house interior behind the cats is blurred and obscured.

A very old species tulip in my garden, fully open in afternoon sun.
My house's previous owner told me the wild tulips were planted in 1991. Amazing to see it blooming now.

A landscape orientation photo of a tulip. It is a wild species tulip from Turkey. The color is shades of pink, darker on the outer petals and pale pink within. The bloom is fully open showing the large bright yellow center. Bright sunlight glows from the front creating sharp shadows on some of the petals, and glowing edges on others. Shadowed green leaves in the background.

A portrait orientation photo of primroses. Blurred in the background you can see deep blue-violet primroses with yellow centers, and green primrose leaves. In the lower half of the photo is the focal point. In brighter light, half opened yellow primrose blooms on a taller stalk. Three flowers are partially opened, and in one the deeper colors of the center markings can be seen. Several buds are not yet opened but show their velvety pale green calyxes.

I shot this branching heather tip on the way home this afternoon.
I think it's much more striking in silver tone.

A black and white portrait orientation macro photo of a branch of heather. The branch tip is diagonal from the bottom left corner to the upper right. Along the twig are the tiny dry seed pods. From the end, nine new branch tips sprout, their soft, velvety hairs catching the light like frost. The background is very blurred.

A lovely white Magnolia flower.
So very springtime ...

A close-up landscape orientation photo of a white Magnolia Stellata flower. The bloom is framed with the center of the flower in the left upper quadrant, just above the center. The beige-yellow stamens are still clinging to the pale green pistil. The sunlight shines on the narrow white petals, and creates bluish shadows.

Getting an unusual and interesting form here. I often shape a fractal in grayscale to really see the light, shadow, and texture, and later color it up with a gradient.

#Fractal #FractalArt #FractalFriday #Art #ArtYear
A landscape orientation fractal render in a slightly tinted, striped grayscale gradient, with a fur-like texture. The fractal features a large spiral filling the entire left half of the image curling counter-clockwise into a tiny terminal in the upper right. The striped fur-like texture runs across the spiral. Smaller and smaller forms fill the background. Overlaying the spiral are several 3-D abstracted leaf-like shapes with an almost insectoid character. They have the same striped texture on a smaller scale, with darker centers.

Mushrooms, nature’s quiet recyclers, breaking down what has ended and weaving it back into the soil, fueling the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth that keeps the earth alive.

Amazing this happens right outside my front door

A landscape orientation photo of tiny mushrooms growing in moss. A grouping of fully opened tan mushrooms is in the lower right quadrant. In the upper left are more mushrooms of the same type but younger, still domed, darker brown at their tops. The bottom front shows live moss. The upper right shows some lacy green leaves. Dark rich soil shows at the left edge.

A landscape orientation photo of a sleeping cat. the cat is lying on a plush medium gray cushion. He is fluffy and white. He is in a funny and charming pose lying on his right side, curled up, with his front legs stretched out over his head, framing the sides of his face. His fluffy paws are showing his pink toe beans. He seems to have a slight smile, showing his fangs.

Happy #EarthDay everyone!

A drawing from a beach vacation along Washington's Pacific coast, in golden afternoon light.

As usual, I couldn't portray the scene completely realistically. I had to make the beach rocks candy-colored. I just can't help myself. 😅

A landscape orientation pastel drawing of a beach scene. The viewer is sitting on the sand near yellow and purple wild flowers growing among beach rocks. The smaller rocks are mostly in shades of blue. The larger rocks are in fantastical colors, almost like candy. The light is low and golden, and the rocks and flowers cast glowing blue shadows on the sand. In the right upper corner, the shoreline is seen below a sunny blue sky.

I can't recommend this book more highly for introverts, or anyone with an introvert they love but don't quite understand.

I hope my book will have as much impact for people as this book has had for me.
A meme with white text on black. It’s a quote from Mark Drolsbaugh’s book People Suck: A Cheat Code for Introverts

An introvert’s mind is already on another planet.”

An older painting I haven't shared in a while. I was just learning to paint then, and had recently started on larger canvases.

It was made using low-quality paints, unfortunately. I just didn't know yet ...

Late March
24X36
Acrylic on canvas

#BlueSkyArtShow #Dream #painting #Art #ArtYear
A portrait orientation painting, acrylic on canvas. It has a colorful, dream-like mood. Along the left edge grows a curving cherry blossom tree with detailed reddish-brown bark on the trunk and branches angling out and to the right. Small pink flowers and new budding leaves appear on the tips of the branches. At the base of the tree and to the right are smooth, layered gray boulders in the dandelion strewed grass at the top of the hill. Below is a large lake reflecting the blue sky. The sky is filled with fantastical pale yellow clouds, spiraled like snail shells flowing toward the right side, depicting movement. The horizon is below center and marked by a mountain range of smooth, folded, purple stone. Mist curls from the far banks of the lake, swirling into the green trees on the left and right.

I didn’t write a book because I had it all figured out—I wrote it because I didn’t. For too long, I thought being quiet meant being less. But introversion isn’t something to fix. It’s your strength. Your superpower. You are awesome just as you are.

(Book is nearly finished, teasers coming soon)
A square meme with the Carl Bard quote: “Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.” The background is divided diagonally bottom left to top right, light pink on left and magenta on right. A white square in the middle contains the quote. White outline drawings of leaves sprout from behind the square.

There are feelings that don’t know how to be sentences.

That’s why I paint.

Because sometimes color speaks louder than language. Because a brush knows things a mouth forgets.

This quote reminds me that not everything we feel has to make sense out loud.

Some stories aren’t told—they’re shown.
A meme with a quote by artist Edward Hopper.

“If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint.”

A dazzling sun peeking through early morning clouds yesterday.
I kept the highway divider in the frame to give it a touch of the city.

Greenlake, Seattle, WA, United States

#Art #ArtYear #Photography #iPhonePhotography
A portrait orientation photo of a brilliant orange sunrise over a lake, seen through leafless tree branches. The viewer is seeing the sunrise from across a highway. The divider is shown at the bottom of the photo. There is white graffiti on the left side. On the right edge are dark evergreen branches in silhouette. On the left and toward the middle are slim, upright leafless trees in a cluster. The dazzling orange sun glows through a crack in fluffy clouds just below image center and creates a light flare on the camera’s lens. The light reflects in shades of orange, peach, and yellow on the water’s calm surface.

A painting of some mysterious steep hills near a trailhead on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. I wish I remembered the exact location ...

Near the Trailhead

Acrylic on canvas

#AcolorAdAyPRIL #lavender #Painting #Art #ArtYear
A square painting of a field near a trailhead. The sky is pale purple softly textured overcast clouds. The vertical center of the painting is a wall of tall, mysterious hills with steep sides and rounded shapes, in shades of medium to deep purple. At the base of the hill are green leafy deciduous trees. A colorful understory of rusty orange and chartreuse colored bushes edges the trees. The foreground is a green grassy field filled with small yellow flowers.

WIP: A new abstract painting. It's my second abstract, and I'm enjoying the intuitive freedom of abstraction over representative art so much right now. I'll probably add it to my regular set of styles.

#Art #ArtYear #PsychedelicSunday
A landscape orientation abstract drawing. It is a work in progress, black outlined shapes partially filled with many colors in a combination of solid-filled, hard-lined color combinations, and softly blended gradients. The drawing is composed of many curving, organic shapes in seemingly random designs. There are some slightly fish-like forms, slightly floral forms, seed-like forms, and simple leaf shapes.

After a week and a half unplugged, it's good to be back for #makersmARTch #plastic day.

All I have to share is a fractal with a shiny, plastic-like appearance.

#Fractal #FractalFriday #DigitalArt #Art #ArtYear
A landscape orientation fractal image. The colors are gradients of green and blue through pinkish-violet, with thin lines of black and white. The background has 4 sections delineated by C-like curves flowing toward the left. The gradient tints them pinkish on the left to blue on the right. The foreground main patterns consist of tight fractal forms at the top right corner and left corner. Irregularly triangular bead-like formations flow and connect the corners across the image. Each triangle has a domed shape with narrow bands of color forming concentric rings with green at the tips and pink at the bases. The domes have a smooth, shiny, plastic-like appearance.
