I've started to reconnect a bit with someone i haven't known since I was in university. This person just seems like they're more of an adult than I am. I know for a fact that I am older, but this does not factor in. Does this happen to other people?

Wrote a thing. Maybe it's a thing you wanna read, I dunno. We'll see. *lays it gently at your feet*

The realities of being a cat-parent include lots of paper towels. A silly impulse purchase bought for laughs that has ridiculously, actually become helpful.

The eyes that insist there is nothing I could be doing at this desk more important than continuing to pet this dog for, oh, say, another couple of hours or so.

Feels a bit pointless posting art but it's my only form of income so... Crab Nebula 22×36″ 56×92 cm Oil on Canvas 2024 Based on the JWST image of the Crab Nebula Original available earthskyart.ca/shop Not making prints of this one because I can't afford it.

Now I'm wondering about blues and purples. ismy.blue

Just sharing this more widely because people deserve to see more Enzo.

A buoying thought for the day that makes me breathe a little more freely. Gently stolen from a friend on the book of the face. I hope this helps to loosen that band around your chest, too. At least for a bit.

hey quick question does Goliath win in that story

A little painting on a Saturday. #art #watercolour #sketchbook

for the love of everything holy, please just WASH YOUR HANDS. especially since this particular nasty bug can't be killed with hand sanitizer.

Yesterday, I had a woman firmly hold the back of my head while a man fitted a Clockwork Orange-style device in place to hold my eye open. He then shot a laser into the depths of my eye. Today, I can see the debris from those shots floating into my vision. Modern medicine is deeply weird. #YAGLaser

Feels like a day for toebeans.

My mother died five years ago and it's only today that I've been able to go through her jewellery and sort through everything. Grief is still around in hidden, shadowy places, ready to claw at me when I least expect it. #grief

Some amazing accounts that post original cat content. Highly recommend them all. Will continue to add to this go.bsky.app/R7pZuYg

A little more fun seasonal art for #ArtAdventCalendar

I like to ambush family members with random facts that poop up in my workday. My brother was not interested in knowing that the FDA changed the equivalency measure for dairy foods from the proposed document to the final rule. Even the dogs wander away while I'm talking. #ButWhy? #BoringFacts

I am still oddly tickled by how well this watercolour fried egg turned out #ArtAdventCalendar

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar entry. Just one that made me smile.

I really liked how this painting turned out. I'd like to try more rainy window type images in future. #ArtAdventCalendar

People often ask how close Detroit is to Windsor so I present this picture from the airport. The cluster off three tall buildings is the Renaissance Center in Detroit. Also, yes, it's very flat here.

I always enjoy this unique experience of taking one of the world's shortest ferry rides. #islandAirport #BillyBishop #ferry

"Butterfly Effect" is by far my favorite piece I've ever drawn. I know I keep sharing it, but I just hope it brings joy when people see it. (Plus I don't have a whole lot of new art to share.) #paleoart #sciart

Touching on some seasonal silliness for today's #ArtAdventCalendar item.

A whimsical watercolour whale for today's #ArtAdventCalendar

I just discovered a new hazard when working in a coffee shop: they often play songs I'm used to singing along with. #PeopleDoNotNeedToHearThat

Jelly Bean Row. Acrylic #ArtAdventCalendar

No9 #artAdventCalendar I'm impressed by the variety of art that is shown here. A special salute to all you creative sewing bees!

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar item is a snowy little squirrel I did for @skorralkeen.bsky.social

Wonderful sunset last night over Belle River.

Shopping at Christmas time has its own delights. I love seeing so many pretty things all displayed together, and when they're thoughtfully arranged it's so much better.

Just back from the Mistletoe Market at the River's Edge event centre and it was fantastic. So many vendors with beautiful and fun things for sale and all in a gorgeous space. Worth checking out if you're in the Windsor area this weekend.

This is Bijou, looking dreamy. Watercolor on 8x8" paper. Day 4 #ArtAdventCalendar #art #catsofbluesky #cats mvandiver-art.com/work

Day four of the #ArtAdventCalendar is probably my favourite of the coffee house animals. The caffeine-dependent emu.

This was my second in the animal coffee house series. Yep, doing these totally out of order. #ArtAdventCalendar

My fourth coffee shop farm animal painting I think completes the set. This is Madge. She likes her little treats. #acrylic #painting #ArtAdventCalendar

Jumping into the #ArtAdventCalendar with a little project to warm up the watercolor.

Enzo bringing his a-game to the cute celebration that is Caturday.

Gaming with cats is a whole thing.

I have a wonderful nap time partner in Harry.

Whoever named frogs got it 100% right. Those things are frogs

I just realized today why Phoebe used Regina Phalanges as her alter ego name. "Queen Fingers" suits a masseuse and a guitarist. Did everyone else know this already? Am I super late to the party like when I didn't know the guy was Polkaroo until my teens? Or am I just overthinking the whole thing?

Tonight's little drink is delightful. And well -supervised. Picked up this lime and yuzu soda at Junction 56 gin distillery in Stratford earlier this year.

I believe it is traditional to begin a new account with a cat picture.
