Haven't I heard this before? In my youth? From unpleasant sexists going on and on about how manly men only drink plain black coffee?

Shit. Sigh. Maybe they won't sell it for parts?

A nighttime scene.  A the center is a black and white tabby cat with bright green eyes.  They are standing on a narrow stump with leaves at the bottom.  The cat is surrounded by a number of glowing goldfish.

My birthday landed on a Caturday! Its a little funny. Anyhow I need to be more online, It’s too hard to stay inspired alone. You can’t only draw for work.

Thank you for the support everyone. This year there will be *new* art to look forward to.

This is "Five Rings" by Robin Perfetti! It's in her Four Dozen Bookmarks book. I loooove it.

(I still really like Clovers, but keeping track of a tambour hook in public is A Whole Thing, lol.)

I finally got an Aerlit shuttle and it's REALLY convenient having the embedded hook. I can literally shove a project in my pocket.

A collection of giclee prints in plain black frames. One is a sunset over a lake, one is peaches in the shape of Georgia, one is a skeletal tree in front of a full moon, one is an arched chuech walkway in Italy, and one is a closeup of a pink waterlily.

A display of stickers that reads "$3 each or 2 for $5." The stickers are Georgia madenof peaches, a paper airplane made of clouds, a nautilus shell, an anti-fascist possum, a crow skull, and a loud cicada.

I'm trying out a simple setup for one-day markets today. Getting ready was much faster! So I'll be in East Atlanta Village at the Community Farmers Market until 5pm!

A watercolor painting from the Boboli Gardens in Florence, Italy. Bunches of vibrant yellow flowers cascade over an old iron gate set into a cracked stucco wall.

Another wall and some rosemary are both visible through the gate. Gnarled brown vines grow up to the flowers on either side, and two weathered stone steps are below the gate.

Today's class demo. I still need to work on some shadows, but it's coming along. (Inspo from the Boboli Gardens long ago.) Ignore the cardboard, all my good boards are occupied.

Pretty thrilled with how this commission came out. I'm slowly changing the way I color and I think it's going in a good direction.

"Skoki Afternoon"(watercolour, 21 x 14") The entirely analog experience at Skoki Lodge is rustic, yes, but elegant & restorative in its simplicity. Antique oil lamps are the only light source in the 1930 ski-in lodge, creating a glowing interior that contrasts/augments the winter landscape. #art πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

My hubs and I keep yelling at Frieren and co to soak their hardtack. My teeth hurt just watching them nibble. πŸ₯²

Illustration of a sunfish (also known as a Mola Mola) floating above an aerial view of some farm lands. A plane flies next to the fish, really putting into perspective of just how large the sunfish really is.

I think that if sunfish could, the would be sunbathing in the sky ☁️
