After 2 decades working in media, I'm leaving to enroll in an MFA. I'm proud of the career, but the burnout became real. This #oilpainting evokes feeling dried up, yet looking forward. 'Dessicant', #oiloncanvas, 8x8 inches #art #fineart #figurativeart #model #surrealism #contemporaryart #realism

The girls are fighting, aren't they? What a week. This #painting is 'Year of the Rooster', 28x48 inches, oil on canvas. The rooster is my #chinese #zodiac sign. #Roosters are brave, observant, and talented. In the wrong circumstances they can tend towards self-righteousness. #art #oilpainting

"Like Fighting Water", oil on wood panel. #Betta #fish are known for their confrontational nature and aggressive displays of beauty. Even in situations that seem pointless, I like to think that asserting confidence with unapologetic style can boost inner strength. #art #oilpainting #asianart

"Genesis" 9" x 12" watercolor on paper I also like painting with watercolors. Just getting my feet wet. I like the ethereal feel to this painting.

A show I co-curated with Marina Delaney for the Cayuga Arts Collective is opening tonight at the Community School of Music and Art in Ithaca, NY 5:00-7:00 pm tonight “Heaven and Hell”

A bit different style... "Omen of the Sundog", #gouache #paint and #ink on #paper. A #Sundog occurs when the sunlight refracts through ice crystals high in the atmosphere. Historically, they are seen as a sign of change: an omen of good or bad luck. Contemplating interesting times... #art

Finishing up some winter landscape paintings in time for Spring! #snowscene #winter #landscape #paintings #nylandscape #oilpainting #domenicabrockman #landscapepainting #tonalism

Just five Cornish sardines hanging around in this new watercolour painting #fish #seafood #art #painting #cornwall #sardines

Sometimes you just have to show up and start playing around to get anywhere. This is the result of today’s studio practice. #arteveryday #domenicabrockman #abstractart #encausticart #collage #art #abstract #painting #abstractpainting

"Pink Moon" this morning! 🌙 Glow is Anchorage, Alaska, to the south 💕

Transport options in #Yellowknife: #dogsledding, or #snowmobiling... What a handsome fella this doggo was. Small and fast, but densely packed with muscle. 💪 Ride up to the Snowking's #Winter Festival for ice sculptures and live music in -26C! #Northwestterritories #Canada

Here's an old painting of mine called "Greed". I stumbled across it recently and thought that it sums up the atmosphere around here pretty well.I was going to paint over it but ended up hanging it up instead.I feel like a fortune teller. #painting #acrylics #art #fantasy #dystopia

Another view of the #Dettah ice road, connecting #Yellowknife to Dettah. Ice roads are sometimes the only way goods can be transported to areas in the #NorthwestTerritories Definitely need some grippy tires to drive across this frozen lake! Look how beautiful the blues in the ice are....!

“In a bind II” is fresh off the easel. 15x12 inches, oil on panel

Looking into the abyss! Standing on the ice road that connects #Yellowknife to #Dettah (a #FirstNations community) in the #NorthwestTerritories. The ice is estimated to be 4-6 feet thick in places. Trucks drive daily over the ice from December to April. The clarity of the ice patterns is unreal!

Happy #Portfolioday! I'm an oil painter, although sometimes I use different mediums. I draw from imagery growing up as part of the Asian diaspora and now as an adult whose job has taken me all over the world. I believe in a humanity that is multi-layered and multi-cultural. lumlingart.com/ #art

Another photo of the Aurora we saw with B.Dene tours, an indigenous owned business! www.bdene.com #Yellowknife #Dene #indigenous #Canada #Aurora #Northwestterritories #stargazing #travel #astrophotography

On medical leave for some health stuff, so booked a getaway to #Yellowknife to chase Auroras! Shout-out to B.Dene for their Aurora tour on an ice lake and for the intro to Dene drumming! (Winged Auroras are called 'Phoenix') www.bdene.com And Tugah dogsledding! www.tugah.com #Aurora #Canada

"Charming"is my painting for "Memories Become Dreams" opening today @wowxwowgallery.bsky.social.I've been chronically unlucky in love in my lifetime, falling for the fairytale every time, when the reality was always something different. #art#fantasy#fineart#folklore#fairytale#acrylicpainting#2Dart

recent sketches from the vaguely themed drawmeet i go to that's like 90% nice old ladies (and also includes @studijo.bsky.social and my real life dad.) artifacts depicted: my cat, epically may he rest, and the Cursed Snowman

Despite my 2025 resolution not to get sucked into the chaos, I'm still doom-scrolling. Self-inflicted harm dominates the news lately, so this oil painting reflected my feelings. Themes of betrayal and violence between little creatures that should be closely related allies, yet tragically cannot be.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! If you want to support and don't know how, you can buy my "Gender is a Garden" design from the Grand Rapids Trans Foundation website. All proceeds go directly to the GRTF who supplies amazing community aid to our trans community.

🪲🌲Hi all! I'm Lain, a Michigan-based dark nature artist. I love foraging and painting. Since platforms are shifting right now, I'd love to meet some cool folks on Bluesky who also like weird nature stuff too 🪲🌲

Old gouache on paper. -SOLD- #sciart #CANartist #art

This painting is in memory of my little void cat, who passed away at 12 years old. We rescued her as a kitten from the Bronx streets. She hated the outdoors and preferred indoor sunbeams. She loved salmon sushi and would cry to be picked up. "I Still Miss You, Baby", oil on canvas #oilpainting

Echoing Jeff (Stein), if Bezos interferes with my work on the news side - I'm out.

"Pilgrimage" (private collection). This one is from a couple of years back. As we continue forward in our lives, it's good to stop and remember where we came from. All of us are immigrants, in one way or another. #traditionalart #acrylicpainting #newcontemporary #animalart

This is the view from Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island. Imagine drinking your coffee and watching this. Thank you to Connie Lacy for permission to base this on her photo overlooking the Salish Sea. In oils.

Another new artwork…this is my blue mussel (Mytilus edilus) with common rock barnacles (Semibalanus balanoides) pattern.

EMERGENCY #commissions! Life keeps giving lemons and this "world's happiest country" with its lack of support isn't helping. Firstly I'm trying to cover food for myself, my kid & cats now. tuonenkalla.carrd.co My Etsy shop is also open! www.etsy.com/shop/Tuonenk... #emergencycommissions #commsopen
