Sketch for a new painting. Name that bird 😀 #art #birds #sketch #drawing #nature #contemporaryart

Another tiny painting from 2017. This is one from a series of pieces I thought of as "butterfly eyes." Butterflies being a metaphor for life, both beautiful and fragile. "Ethereal" Acrylic on canvas 4" x 4" #art #painting #surrealism #tiger #cats #nature #butterflies #contemporaryart

Little before and after video of my new painting "Cyclical." The sketch in the beginning is on a very recycled, recycled piece of paper. 🙂 #art #painting #surrealism #skull #horses #nature #contemporaryart

This just made my day. Thank you so much, Maddy @cowardlylyons.bsky.social 🥰

New painting, appropriate for The Year of the Horse though I sketched it last year. Exploring mortality, renewal and transformation. I see it as a hopeful piece. We need hope. "Cyclical" Acrylic on canvas 8" x 10" #art #painting #surrealism #horses #yearofthehorse #contemporaryart

An older painting from 2014. I've been busy behind the scenes working on some larger paintings as well as some smalls. Looking forward to sharing those soon. "Clan" Acrylic on canvas 6" x 6" #art #painting #surrealism #wolf #wolves #nature #contemporaryart

Excited and honored that my paintings "Void" and "Unknown" are on the front and back covers of the new "Bestiary" anthology released by Dark Mountain Project. The hardcover is now available on their website: dark-mountain.net/product/dark... #art #painting #animals #nature #bestiary #animalart

Sharing this painting from 2020. The spider is based off of several different species, so aside from the abdomen (obviously), doesn't actually exist. Finding beauty in what many call creepy. "Fragile" Acrylic on canvas 5" x 5" #art #painting #surrealism #arachnid #spider #nature #contemporaryart

Little peek at GUM Magazine's new issue (formerly SplashLand). My painting "Heatwave" is featured alongside "West Hollywood Library Pool" written by Caroline Clair Mcdonald. The new issue is available on their website: www.chewgumonline.com/shop #art #painting #contemporaryart #artist #artmagazine

Did a sketch for Calico Exhibitions & the GLCU's postcard art show in Kittery, ME. The Mail Room exhibit serves as a portal of connection receiving and sending artwork, wishes, and blessings back into the world. Up now & online www.kenleydarling.com/glcu-office #art #drawing #moth #insects #nature

A painting from 2021 that I thought was an appropriate follow-up to the Borzoi I just painted, given my penchant for pink scrollwork apparently. 😆 "Tendril" Acrylic on canvas 5" x 5" #art #painting #surrealism #prayingmantis #Insects #contemporaryart

New painting! Took liberties with the Borzoi's hair, reminiscent of the wavy-patterned bushes. The tongue also follows suit, as many patterns are often repeated throughout nature, a reminder that all life is connected. "Echoes" Acrylic on canvas 10" x 8" #art #borzoi #dogs #nature #surrealism

New painting created for Modern Eden Gallery’s Restless Garden exhibition. Exploring our attempts to tame nature though nature always wins. Opening tonight 6-9pm or get a preview: [email protected] "Domesticate" Acrylic on canvas 5" x 5" #art #painting #surrealism #cats #nature #contemporaryart

An oldie from 2010. There are so many iterations of this one buried in a sketchbook somewhere (no pun intended 🙂) as I was trying to figure out what to put beneath the tree. "Symbiotic" Acrylic on canvas 11" x 14" #art #painting #surrealism #nature #animals #contemporaryart

A small painting from 2020. No rulers used for the lace. Long ago I cleaned up a sketch with a ruler and it just didn't look as good. Perfect is boring. The little imperfections make things interesting. "Lattice" Acrylic on canvas 5" x 5" #art #painting #surrealism #spider #nature #contemporaryart
