A pathway protected by metal railings, a barrier for the vibrant array of flowers, yet they endure. Their petals burst forth, a display of nature's tenacity against the man-made confines. Against all odds, they bloom, painting a picture of resistance and beauty.
Bending Light — What does an overturned, clean, refractive glass coffee mug represent to you? Ready to be re-used and filled with sustenance and joy until the cycle repeats itself.
Framed my most recent finished piece, a small still life that is about healing, fighting back, protecting. It’s such a lovely piece.
It is available. Do message me if interested.

May the artwork bring to both you and the person to whom you send the card a moment of calmness and peace, a celebration of tranquility that we enjoy when we take time out to enjoy the many treasures in our lives.
Sending out sincere thanks to my 5/12 #FineArtAmerica client from Montrose, CA. for their purchase of an 8" x 8" canvas print of Vintage Circus Roses. Enjoy!!!
It can be seen better ... and all the cool products it's available on ... at my website, here:
To celebrate Aplatonic Visibility Day I tried painting a still life with apples.
I like the end result but the painting process was way more stressful then I imagined it to be. I guess round shapes are not as easy as they look. 😄
I like the color scheme though! It's almost exclusively painted with just three colors: A red (cadmium red), a yellow (lemon yellow PY3) and a blue (deep blue PB60).

Silvius mel e flore lonicerae libat (Silvius sips nectar from a honeysuckle flower). apes prope flores suaveolentes bombitant (bees buzz near the sweet-smelling flowers). mus et apes flores partiunt (mouse and bees share the flowers). #fabulamurina
@Minimus I love your little Latin posts, but today I looked at your hashtags. Mastodon is all about communication. I'd suggest adding the hashtags #language and #photo to your posts. Both are relevant. Your photos are a style of photography called product photography or more loosely still life and I'd suggest the hashtag #stilllife also (three Ls). If you're feeling bold, you can add #photography. Last, since you are writing little stories, I highly suggest adding #writingCommunity#writersOfMastodon and #fiction. Spero hoc utile est!
I painted this pastel painting on velour paper. The texture of this paper contributes to the dreamy, soft and somewhat blurred impression of the pastel painting.
Often, we want everything to match, to look the same, to be part of a set that goes together.
But it is so much easier, and can be just as beautiful, when things don't match, don't look all the same -- when each piece, though it shares characteristics with others, does not look like an exact copy of the rest.
