Oh no! The dakotaraptor nabbed a baby triceratops, and the “do not touch” signs prevent me from intervening! (I’ve been traveling for work, but I was excited to visit Everything Prehistoric and the Museum at BHIGR.) #dakotaraptor #triceratops #everythingprehistoric #dinosaurs #fossils

Don’t mind me as I drop off some mail for my amazing friends who are part of the Unaccredited College of Klaire at Patreon… www.patreon.com/klairelockhe... #unaccreditedcollegeofklaire #mailbox #mail #hifromsd #artist

If you added Brodalisque of Urbino to your art collection, where would you hang it? #brodalisque #ArtCollection #FigurePainting #contemporaryart #Art

Who’s an artist you’ve referenced within your work? #brodalisque #titian #venusofurbino #parody #art

Brodalisque of Urbino has previously been exhibited at the Washington Pavilion, Gallery 110, Metropolitan Community College, Norfolk Arts Center, and it’s about to be shown at the South Dakota Art Museum! #brodalisque #figurativeart #zardoz #venusofurbino #art

Brodalisque of Urbino is one of my paintings from my series of dudes in man caves. After introducing this oil painting, I explain the details and why the model is posed like Titian’s Venus of Urbino. #brodalisque #klairelockheart #venusofurbino #OilPainting #contemporaryart

Here’s a not-too-subtle clue regarding what I recently delivered to the South Dakota Art Museum. #brodalisque #southdakota #SouthDakotaArtMuseum #mancave #contemporaryart

I got to see Odalisque in Grisaille by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres at the Met, and it may have had a bad influence on me… Grande Brodalisque II. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 40x60”. #brodalisque #PKFGrantee #grandeodalisque #painting #Art

I would never stop laughing if my painting of Theseus was displayed near a classic depiction of Ariadne. Klaire Lockheart, Sleeping Theseus. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 32x40”. #brodalisque #OilPainting #PKFGrantee #theseus #art

I would like to argue that my artwork depicting the end of Aeschylus’s life is just as historically accurate as the average “Death of Cleopatra” painting. Klaire Lockheart, Death of Aeschylus. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 60x54”. #brodalisque #FigurePainting #PKFGrantee #Aeschylus #art

Remember when I said I’d save you $2 million by showing you how to sketch a foot like Michelangelo? It turns out I was wrong. The auction was today, and Christie’s sold Study for a Foot of the Libyan Sibyl for $23 million! #michelangelo #sistinechapel #artauction #drawing #art

I did a little printmaking recently. Thanks to Pinko Joe, @pinkojoe.bsky.social, for sharing your work! #pinkojoe #silkscreen

Who else schedules photoshoots for their artwork? Thanks to Aaron at Fotolab No.7 for photographing my huge, glossy painting! The image is on my website, but you can see it in person until February 8th at the Sioux City Art Center. #brodalisque #fotolabno7 #siouxcityartcenter #Aeschylus #art

Did you see my Sleeping Theseus painting yet? #brodalisque #theseus #OilPainting #williamhavugallery #art

Over 500 years ago Michelangelo drew a foot, and its current estimated value is about $2 million. If you don’t want to spend a fortune when his sketch goes up for auction, then pour yourself a drink and make a copy! #UCK #michelangelo #drawing #libyansibyl #art www.patreon.com/klairelockhe...
