A black #pen and #ink #doodle with two non-human beings creating with the fabric of their universe, containing stars, stardust, spirals, and spheres. #Inktober #BlueSkyArt #DoodleArt #BlueSkyArt

It had to be #blue 🎶 First attempt at a hand drawn #mandala doodle. Pleased with all the little imperfections. #BlueSkyMonday #doodle

In #gratitude for #summer flowers #blueSkyArtShow #doodles #sunflower

#doodle drawn in #sketchbook with #ink and #coloredmarkers, inspired by #ShadowWork. A much older and wiser self wraps an innocent younger self in a purple cloak of love and protection, surrounded by symbols of growth and resilience. #BlueSkyArtShow #triskelion #FiveBuddhaEyes #doodleart

Playing with colored marking pens lately for more #vibrant #doodles. #BlueSkyArtShow

My husband may be red/green #colorblind, but he somehow has a comprehensive understanding of color. I asked him to choose the colored markers to fill in my #ink #doodle and he picked these shades of #green. (Our first collaboration!) #BlueSkyArtShow

Your Moment of Zen with Smiley Creek tumbling over lava cap. We cleared the creek yesterday to prep the property for sale. #Paradise continues to recover from the #CampFire, evidenced by the regrowth of the #WaterMaples. I’ll miss the musical sounds of the #creek.

A man strapped a giant stuffed penguin to his back at the local #HandsOff #protest with a sign reading “Don’t tariff me Bro!” Amazing turnout, big energy. Let’s keep it up!

Don’t we all need a lift today? I’m grateful for #acoloradAyPRIL and offer a combined #orange for yesterday and #yellow for today. Still playing with using color to my #doodles. Black #ink with colored markers.

A black ink doodle of various human, animal, and alien faces for today’s #makersmARTch and #draw prompts.

I made my first birthday card for a friend from a #doodle done in blue #ink with a tiny sea snail, whose spiral shell represents spiritual progress. #MakersMartch #doodleart

#FebruARTy #orange #mushrooms #fungi #photography Chicken of the Woods mushrooms that grew on an old oak tree in Paradise. They’re said to be edible, but I never ed ‘em!

#FebruArty #eyes #doodle Doodle of the sun with lightning eyes.

Just got my new canvas print! Seashore Dreams by @juleezart.bsky.social Love the brilliant colors. To me it represents the ever-flowing cycle of the five elements. #art #painting #artsky

#JanuArty Day 30 #green With thanks to zeldalin.bsky.social who suggested coloring in my doodles. Here’s my first attempt with marking pens.

#JanuArty Day 27 #red Hoodoo-condos made from the little red rocks and pebbles we found while swimming in the Feather River canyon.

#JanuArty Day 26 Broken Broken kitchen crockery amidst the ash and debris after the #CampFire. I’ve saved the colorful bits in hopes of making a mosaic some day.

Instead of doom scrolling I now spend mornings soaking up art and wonderment. #JanuArty #art

#JanuArty Day 22 Monochrome #doodle Doodling repetitive patterns calms my mind during troubled times. Drawn on election night 2024 as my hopes faded.

#JanuArty Day 20 Primary Photo from inside a seafood restaurant in Ajijic, Mexico, a town washed in primary colors and with street art everywhere.

I’ve been considering my role in the next 4 years of chaos and upheaval, and this speaks clearly to my path. We will need healers and warriors, both.

#JanuArty #animal #AluminArt AluminArt is what we dubbed the shapes of metals that melted in the #CampFire. This is my Camp Fire Critter, with its little unicorn-like horn.

Where #Buddhism and #mindfulness meet #Stoicism.

Day 21 of #ArtAdventCalendar I doodled a holiday greeting card of two palm trees for the friend I just rediscovered #PalmSprings with. The colors and jewelry reflect our temperaments as Water and Fire elements. My first doodling foray into colored pencils. #solstice #doodleart #Five#Elements

Spent a few days in Palm Springs and was captivated by the palm trees twinkling in the winter sun, as if they were covered in shiny Christmas tinsel. #HappyHolidays

Red heart doodled on a whitewashed rock that fits in the palm of your hand. I left this in the park for someone to find (and hopefully share) on Valentine’s Day. #ArtAdventCalendar #doodle

Some welcome news for us if HR 5862 does indeed pass. #CampFire victims should never have been taxed on compensation for their pain & suffering. www.actionnewsnow.com/news/camp-fi...

We're all in it together when it comes to the climate crisis. But we’re all not in the same boat. Some sail yachts, some run motorboats, some paddle canoes, some tread water, some are drowning. Rich nations that generated the most warming gases owe poor nations far more aid $$ than they've pledged.

Replaced a dishwasher that’s been broken for 2 years on the same premise.

My account documents how creating bird habitat with #NativePlants and water sources in a small urban yard can increase bird visitors. I don’t really get a lot of followers because my photos aren’t great quality. I mostly leave the habitat for them to enjoy; seeing the various birds is the reward. 🦉🪶
