What energies influence your life, how do you interpret them, and are you receiving them from the outside or generating them from your own spiritual energy. Come on a queit walk with me and let's discuss it! #philosophy #buddhism #taoism #spiritual #spiritualenergy #chakra youtu.be/vGAhzZtTWl8

It's common to feel a sadness when you are taming your ego, almost as if you are saying goodbye to an old friend, but the rewards that come with balancing your physical life with a strengthened spirit are totally worth it! Let's see what the spirits have to say about it! youtu.be/4pVQ3oY-zck

I have a great one for #divide #februARTy this morning! Meet "Angie & Lucie" and "Angie & Lucie II" I did these about 8-10 years apart. Approx. 2 1/2-3 feet per canvas=pretty big installations. I love this concept so much, I imagine I'll do another one before I die, lol. #acrylicpainter #airbrush

I couldn't think of anything for today's #februarty #fishyfeb #fishyfeb2025 theme of #deepsea until I read the "old or new" part and remembered a super old piece I did about ohhhhh...maybe 18 years ago? "Mermaids" Acrylic & Airbrush. I painted really big back then, so it's at least 3 ft or so.

I just read a story about Sun Pu-erh, a Taoist sage who purposefully made herself ugly and acted insane so people would leave her alone and let her pursue her spiritual goals, and I have never resonated more with anyone in my life #taoism #taoist #daoism #daoist

Today I'll share one of my most well-known and iconic pieces. "Philly Princess" (very large-3-ft-ish) oil on canvas from 2013-ish. I have some pride in this piece. It took a full month to paint the dress! #artyear #februARTy #turquoise

Today, I want to share one of my favorite paintings. "Crow on a Piano" 16 x 20 Acrylic Can't wait to see everyone elses work! #artyear #februarty #peculiarart #acrylicpainter

Don't have much in the line of #glasses, but how about this self portrait from last summer? #februarty #oilpainting #blueskyart

So #rough can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. I'm an emotionally sensitive person, so it's the first thing I went to. This is a VERY old piece, about 2011 or so, when I was learning airbrush. "Where To Go" acrylic on canvas. #februARTy #sensoryart

I've struggled all day with the #FebruARTy prompt today. It's a challenge! #bigandsmall #big&small So, I finally settled on one of my wildflower paintings of Queen Anne's Lace. When you really spend some time looking at it, it's like hundreds of tiny flowers inside bigger organized flowers!

My favorite thing in the whole world to do, walk with Mother Nature and talk about Buddhist Philosophy! Come have some fun with me! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGXL...

While wandering the halls of my digital art gallery, I stumbled across this super old photo I used to practice coloring techniques. These are my Great Grandparents. Whithout this #pair, I would not exist. I chose them to share today, because this made me pause and feel gratitude. #FebruARTy

Portrait of a Party Dress" Acrylic on Canvas 16 x 20. Part of my Peculiar Art series. 😁 #Februarty #sensoryART #sweet

Snakes have rings! This is a triptic I did a few years back. I can use it as a monochrome two-fer since I missed posting yesterday. 😁👍 #februarty #rings #monochrome

My awesome muggle job for the last 35 years is dog groomer. It's only natural that the adorable doggos poke their #fuzzy heads into my painting once in a while, like this commission from a few years ago. #sensoryart #oilpainter #tampabayartist

I just laughed so hard I woke the cat. (But it also true. Someone please help.)

NASA did a feature on me last year. It was up this weekend but now when you click on the link you get a 404 message.

I took a few years off of oils to explore and play with other mediums. When I returned to them, it felt like some sort of coming home. I'd lost a lot of bad habits and was primed and ready for some new habits. I explored them in this work. #februarty #artyear #tampabayart #oilpainter #musecoaching

An oldie bue a goodie! This is a LARGE acrylic painting I did years ago of Bonnie Raitt in concert wearing a lovely purple blouse. #februarty #purple #tampabayartist #bonnieraitt #acrylicpainter #oilpainter

#Februarty #shoes This work is to date, my masterpiece. It took me two years to bring into creation from endless research, concept drawings, to finished painting. It was a genuine labour of love, and it tested my skills to the limit. Flood Refugees 1937 - 2023 #oilpainting #fineart #art

Not much of a shoe fan. I can totally appreciate a sexy boot, but I DEF prefer bare feet. Happy Februarty!! #februarty #shoes #tampabayart #artist #oilpainter #acrylicpainter @whitneyyoh.bsky.social

A few of the cards from my new Oracle Deck. I haven't named it yet, but it's divided into the 4 elements as suits and it gives messages from all the plants and animals you would find at quiet a pond in the woods. Any good suggestions? #divination #artist #oraclecards

Alright #JanuARTy peeps. I made a typo yesterday so here is the corrected graphic; now with color coding for odd day challenges. On even numbered days it’s #FebruARTy On odd numbered days spread your wings and fly across the great blue sky to the listed challenge 💙

"Eat Your Greens" 16 x 20" oil on canvas. Sharing a piece I did a few months ago that feels pretty appropriate right now after hearing so many sob stories coming in from people who are suffering from some serious regrets. 😏

This week, I finished the prototype for my next Oracle Deck. After the first design phase (which is mostly guided by spirit) I print them and play with them for a while. It helps me make changes to be a great fit for lots of readers to enjoy a chat with spirit. #oraclecards #divination #spiritchat

As I'm new on here, just thought I'd introduce my art studio mascot. This is Dweezil, my super sensitive, totally emo Chinese Crested puppers. He helps me make decisions about what to paint and do with my time between paintings.
