Finished! BOREAS DANCES ON TABLE ROCKS, 19x13”, pearlescent watercolor on handmade black paper. Depicting the May 10, 2024 solar storm over Upper and Lower Table Rocks in southern Oregon. What a night! (BOREAS, the Greek god of the north wind, is what the aurora borealis are named for.)
#sketchbook May 2024. Even when I'm on another leg of #zeruchontour , I try to keep a drawing practice going as best as I can. In this case a bit of a #drinkanddraw session in an absolutely spectacular boutique Hotel I found in San Luis Obispo, called The Granada. I basically broke out a few old sketchbooks and if I couldn't think of anything new to draw I started painting in very skeletal #doodles from the semi distant past. #beer by #ThereDoesNotExist brewery in SLO. #art#artistsofmastodon
🌸AURORA🌸 Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde la última vez que hice algo para mi. Estoy muy emocionada con estas auroras sucediendo en lugares inusuales como aquí. Así que tenía que pintarlo así a lo marrano. El arte también son recuerdos y yo no quiero olvidar esto❤️🩹 #arte#art#illustration#myartstyle#mastoart#artistsofmastodon#artist
A new adventure painting, from our first visit to Muir Woods, a truly magical redwood forest just north of San Francisco. We were there in the late afternoon, and found it low in crowds and high in light rays 😍
Another adventure painting, a driftwood log I found covered in moss and lichen, at Gold Beach earlier this month. (I found a lot of cool driftwood that day!) One for #Mosstodon? Enjoy!
Dolores is an utterly charming and beautiful soul and I feel very lucky that I got to spend so much time in her company for this article – the first ever about her in the English language, I believe!
I'm finally sticking to it again: new content on my Ko-fi page. To be enjoyed with and without coffee. ☕ :blobcatcoffee:
And 🤫 you find even #mosstodon there! https://ko-fi.com/naturematchcuts
Pieces that only exist once in the world.
My beloved fairy necklace with earrings went to a client in Hollywood. Paper yarn in fairy green with Japanese glass art. Elaborately handmade. For people who dare.
I still make them today in several colours, but each one is unique. Why did I never made one for me?! 🤔
Presenting DUST OF OSIRIS, watercolor and ink, 12x12”. Inspired by the Egyptian decorative motifs, the Egyptian Revival movement, and a high-res photo of the opened OSIRIS-REx sample container, containing dust from asteroid Bennu. This has been a labor of love for me, I hope you enjoy it!
Nearly done with the ink/gold portion of the #osirisrex#wip. Next up, decorative precious stone inlay (in paint, both figuratively and LITERALLY thanks to my Daniel Smith PrimaTek #watercolors), a golden center, and finally, asteroid samples!
Winter dropped a few inches of wet, slushy snow on us last night here in New England. Unfortunately, while it was very pretty this morning, I had a few obligations to meet so getting out to photograph wasn't on the agenda. Hopefully next snow. I made this image a few years ago while exploring Vermont. https://rickberk.pixels.com/featured/winter-evening-at-cloudland-farm-rick-berk.html
