“Fading Into Bloom” Faded summer breeze carries echoes through the grass— she remembers home.

I Painted this 11x14 while sitting with the thought that some of life’s most beautiful moments arrive quietly. Petals greet the hush, mist dances on meadow light— dawn exhales in bloom. #ThistleBeinnStudio #AmaliaYosefaArt #BlueRidgeArtist #WatercolorLove

Mystic Glow 9.5 x 5.5” watercolor on paper Lavender mist breathes, whispers rise through painted pines— dawn cradles the hush. A tender moment of stillness, painted in soft morning light. #ThistleBeinnStudio #AmaliaYosefaArt #BlueRidgeArtist #MysticGlow #WatercolorPoetry

Enjoying a peaceful Sunday morning in the studio, painting with a Japanese hake brush and the Kuretake Gansai Tambi Art Nouveau watercolor palette. Working in a loose, intuitive style and letting the landscape unfold naturally. #WatercolorArtist #SundayInTheStudio

“Where the Dark Breaks Open” There is a light that joins the dark, quietly—like breath in winter air. Some paths aren’t seen, only sensed. Hope is not that storms will pass, but that light lives in the mist. Even in grief, We are held. We are home. ©️ Amalia Yosefa-Thistle Beinn Studio

MI peeps - letter to our Congressional Reps about the move to abolish Dept of Ed 💙

Mr. Mortimer

We weren’t meant to live this way, caught in the churn of hustle culture, stretched thin by work that barely pays the bills, and disconnected from the very people who make life meaningful. Somewhere, deep in our bones, we remember a different rhythm.

I thought i’d share a watercolor tutorial with you all. Art helps in processing emotions. Enjoy! #watercolorpainting youtu.be/unjBfANWzRc?...

“ don’t give into the lies, don’t give into the fear.”

Pass it on!

I deleted all my Meta apps, I don't have many followers here, but I had to share regardless. I have been accepted as a 2025 Artist in Residence at Edgewood Cottage! This will be my big year 💜

This is how we’re rolling today. LunaBelle (pupper) Mortimer (kitty)

“Tumultuous Sea” Acrylic on Canvas

Right now, in America, 22 million workers make less than $15/hr. 40 million make less than $17/hr. Shamefully, the federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 and remains at $7.25/hr. I asked Trump's nominee for Treasury if we should raise it. His response? "No sir."
