#BlueSkyArtShow #Openings This is one of the archways leading to the McKinley Rose Garden in Sacramento, CA. Painted on a watercolor postcard.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Background In this painting, I was trying to shift which aspect was the background versus the foreground.

For today's #BlueSkyArtShow #Stone theme, I'm sharing this watercolor painting of the Folsom Rainbow Bridge from Black Miners Bar. I was conflicted about the flag, but I decided it should also apply to those of us who actually want liberty and justice for all.

This painting is called Molten Wings. It's part of a series I called Flow, which seems right for this week's #BlueSkyArtShow #Flowing theme

#BlueSkyArtShow #Round I found this piece again recently when I was looking for something else and realized that I hadn't taken a photo of it. It was a stylized self portrait from 20+ years ago.

This is my Twin Dragons painting for today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Two

Here's another one for the #BlueSkyArtShow today, a graceful zelkova in the yard of the Park Winters Inn in Winters, CA Theme #wood

#BlueSkyArtShow This week's theme is #Wood These are some branches I painted in 2017.

Important story by @eshockmanwrites.bsky.social “We had reached a saturation point”... ICE agents were “literally swarming all over the schools, day in and day out, in the morning, in the middle of the day ... on the weekends. We just decided that we couldn't even have a bigger target on our back.”

Just finished this flower, first finished work of 2026.

This is a second #Cloud picture for #BlueSkyArtShow with the clouds coming over the coastal hills. This is what January looks like in Northern California.

I love today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Clouds Here's one cloud-focused painting that I called Kim's Hand. You can't see the hand without clicking to expand the picture, since it's on the far left.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

I painted this based on a poem by my husband. I think the closeness of the figures is a counterpoint to the #Cold #BlueSkyArtShow

Today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #One Here is one mermaid turning over under the water. This one is from years ago.

#BlueSkyArtShow The theme today is #Vibrant I love intense color. Here's a mural I designed a few years ago.

I'm definitely into the #BlueSkyArtShow theme today, which is #Vibrant

Part 1/2, preview of the open studio. It takes place between 11-4 tomorrow (Dec 21) in Concord CA. Soooo many paintings, soooo much work! This doesn’t even show the whole tent of pottery we will have. 😅 #painting #art #eastbay #bayarea

The #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #OpenHouse today... so hard to decide. Here are some things I enjoy. Quercus California (my combo of native California oak trees), Butterfly Escape, Purple Iris, and my unnamed paper cutout in progress when my daughter added a face for me when I wasn't looking.

#BlueSkyArtShow #FavoriteThings This is my favorite drawing of one of my favorite people. My daughter as a young child.

Tomorrow I will be at Tahoe Elementary in Sacramento at their second annual Makers Market from 10AM-3PM. And it's indoors. Thought I'd mention that in case you haven't been enjoying the foggy, cold days.

It's too late for #BlueSkyArtShow this weekend, but I thought I would post this #Sky picture anyway. I called it California Hills in Winter.

This is my Firebubbles painting for #BlueSkyArtShow #Warmth This was more of an experiment with materials than anything else.

Here's your reminder to draw in a sketchbook!!!!! Draw ugly!! Draw weird!!!! DRAW WITH NOTHING BUT PEN OR PAINT MARKERS LET YOURSELF MAKE MISTAKES it's part of the process~

The era we are living in offers too many illustrations of greed, narcissism, and hatefulness. But I still believe we can recommit ourselves to serving the common good of all Americans. [Artwork by Jennifer Bloomer]

this turned out unexpectedly fascinating. I hope you’re doing/making things that make you curious and delighted. 🤍🕊️ . . #artistsonbluesky #blueskyartshow #abstractart #abstractexpressionism #painter #art #artist #womensartbluesky #abstractartist #blueskyart #oregonartist #oregon

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

For this week's #BlueSkyArtShow I would like to share a photo of my tiny watercolor landscapes in a mini art gallery in my neighborhood. #Small

British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo #ShareGoodNewsToo

I think this painting at China Bar in the Auburn State Recreation Area captures the #Bright light of that summer morning. Why was I choosing to paint while squinting into the sunlight when it was already over 90 degrees Fahrenheit at 9AM? The world may never know. #BlueSkyArtShow

I am pretty happy with this orchid painting.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

For #BlueSkyArtShow this week, I am sharing a quick painting from quite a while ago that was inspired by grasses growing near a pile of fallen leaves in the sun. This week's theme is #Autumn.

#BlueSkyArtShow I was trying to figure out what art I have that would showcase the theme for today, #inside And then I realized, this skull used to be inside of a wildcat. This was done in carbon dust, a typical medium for medical illustration.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Vertical

#BlueSkyArtShow Today's theme is #vertical which makes me realize I focus on horizontal quite a bit. Anyway, these sunflowers have strong vertical stalks.

The Oatmeal made a great comic about AI: theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_ar... It doesn't cover the massive environmental costs, but it's a pretty good statement on the necessity of human creativity.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Glow Today I am sharing this painting of Grassnut flowers, also known as Ithuriel's Spear, with the glow of sunshine coming through the petals.

#BlueSkyArtShow Today's theme is #Relax Years ago, I painted my husband on a vacation, playing video games on his laptop. It was such a peaceful day.

I think you should see this! bsky.app/profile/evol...

For today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme #TheRoad I am sharing one that I didn't really like, but looking at it again I see there are aspects that I appreciate. The flowers on the right are a very pale variety of Ithuriel's Spear, aka Grassnut.
