As an avid gardener, it is truly difficult to pick a favorite #flower but the #daylily is definitely one of my favs! Too bad the voles in my garden have chewed up the roots of at least a dozen!!!!! #eastcoastkin #daylilies #gardener #flowers #SMArtist #artyear #flowerphotography #digitalart

My entry for the #BlueSkyArtShow is called Mayan Dream. #Acrylic on #canvas this image was inspired by a tapestry I purchased in Cancun, Mexico which depicts Mayan deities. #dream #painting #Abstractart #abstractartist #eastcoastkin #artyear #color

Hello #BlueSkyMonday ! It's rather gloomy here but I offer this #daisy #stilllife to brighten up your day. #procreate #digitalart #procreateartist #daisies #flowerart #makingarteveryday #eastcoastkin #artyear

viviankirkfield.com/2025/03/28/p... A wonderful interview with two @picturebookgold.bsky.social members and a #Giveaway @viviankirkfield.bsky.social welcomes @lisaljrogers.bsky.social to share her book JOAN MITCHELL PAINTS A SYMPHONY: LA GRANDE VALLÉE SUITE 💙🎶💚

These #abandoned buildings made for a fun subject in this #monotype, titled Under the Strawberry Moon. #Marchitecture #artyear #eastcoastkin #francelandscape #landscapeart #landscapepainting #landscapeartist #monoprint #printmaking #stonehengepaper #printmaker

I just love the built in arches supporting the structure of homes in Pont-en-Royans, France. A little side trip on our drive from Lucerne to Provence, and very much worth the drive!!! #BlueSkyArtShow #arch #france #PontEnRoyans #landscapephotography #photography #colorful #MarchIntoLandscapes

Some #unexpectedcolor and a fancy #comb, meet Iuka! My fancy friend. #mARTch #mARTch25 #animalart #animalartist #hen #chicken #collageartist #mixedmediaartist #farmanimal #chickenart #henart #watercolor #collage #watercolorartist #artyear #eastcoastkin

🌸 as I take off my blue coat, cherry blossom puts on a pink one #spring #haiku #writer

When I look at the #ocean, I think of #vast, today's prompt for #MarchIntoLandscapes #landscapeartist #landscapeart #oceanart #acrylicpainting #MarthasVineyard #EastCoastKin #artyear #mARTch

I think I got 4 prompts in 1 illustration! Subtle patterns can be seen in the #owl feathers #smArtist #green #MarchIntoLandscapes #moonlit #makersmARTch #pattern #artyear #moose #kidlitartist #kidlitillustration #kidlitart #picturebookillustration #forest #woodland #forestanimals #fireflies #magic

This beach is fairly #untouched past this point. Too marshy to go far by foot but one of my favorite places on #MarthasVineyard #MarchIntoLandscapes #oilpainting #landscapepainting #landscapeartist #oceanscape #tidal #marsh #tidalmarsh

Gosh, how did I miss #MothDay? Playing catch up with this assortment of moths (and a fancy bug thrown in!) #moth #digitalart #digitalartist #insects #bugs #entomology #patternartist

A tad #alien because of its abstracted form, this #acrylicpainting was from a class I took in #Taos #NewMexico where the colors and #light were transformative. #MarchintoLandscapes #artyear #abstractart #BlueSkyArtShow #sunlight

Trying hard to get 1 painting into several categories of monthly prompts... #terrestrial #SMartist #paint #MakersMarch (didn't say it couldn't be digital paint!) #Oasis #MarchintoLandscapes (under the sea is an oasis for me!) #ArtYear #waterwhispers #smARTist #fireandlight #mARTch #seaturtle

Today we have an #arid climate with this #monotype of one of my favorite places, #SantaFe #NewMexico. The base print was done in water soluble inks & colored pencil work, over which an oil #glaze was added. #artyear #MarchintoLandscapes #printmaking #printmaker #southwest #adobe #architecture

My former self was a limnologist so the #aquatic #MarchintoLandscapes post will feature the freshwater mini #landscape of a koi pond. #artyear #eastcoastkin #koipond #watercolor #watercolorartist #koi #koifish

Today's prompt for #MarchintoLandscapes is #quaint To me all of the homes in #SantaFe are just that, little doorways of delight. This #monotype was softened by using pastel and colored pencils afterwards so I am applying #soft from #makersmarch as well! #artyear #printmaking #printmaker #mixedmedia

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day to all! Another amazing batch of posts from such talented folks. This bear family is now hanging in a pediatric waiting room. Hope it brings some smiles. #kidlitillustration #kidlitartist #kidlitart #bears #bearfamily #seekingrepresentation #artlicensing #wetlands

I have always felt that these #cows had the most beautiful view of Ireland's glorious western coastline. A #sprawling view of the #atlanticocean #MarchintoLandscapes #artyear #naturephotography #irelandforever #MarchintoLandscapes2025 #landscapephotography

Hello #MarchIntoLandscapes Today we take a walk along a #tranquil beach. Hope you all have a serene day. #artyear #oillandscape #oilpainting #dunes #landscapeart #landscapeartist #artists

‪Welcome to #WorldWildlifeDay I have been writing informational fiction about #wildlife for years. And wildlife comes in all sizes. Here are some #frogs of mine hanging in a pediatric waiting room/Boston area. Have a great wildlife day! #kidlitillustration #kidlitillustrator #procreateart #artyear

With a prompt of #picturesque #marchintolandscapes seems wide open! Adding #makersmARTch and #mkrsmARTch of #jewel here is a hilltop #tuscanvillage with a dazzling display of #poppies #monoprint #monotype #landscapeart #landscapeartist #artyear #Italy #poppyfield

#ArtFlood2025 share the love and post the first week of March! #MarchIntoLandscapes one of my favorite hidden gems (perhaps not so hidden) #HiddenGem #Aquinnah #MarthasVineyard #beachbluffs #paintedcliffs #acrylicpainting #landscapeart #landscapeartist #coloredclay

#spring seems very far off in the northern kingdom but for today's prompt in #blueskyartshow here is a look at what we hope to see in a month or so. #watercolor #lamb #sheep #watercolorartist #farmlife #onthefarm #artyear #newengland #vermontlife #sheepofbluesky

For the duration of the horrible war unleashed upon #ukraine, I have been making art using their national flower #sunflower I recoil in disgust and horror at what happened today at the WH presser. Ukrainians do not deserve this. #standwithukraine #Istandwithukraine #ukraineforever

Mixing & matching in a perhaps unorthodox approach, but I love #fancy today's prompt & yesterday's #fishyfeb #februarty ( prompts a day apart..artistic license) From @writersloftma.bsky.social poetry anthology #mixedmedia #collageart #fightingfish #kidlitillustration #artyear #watercolor #betafish

#februarty and the code word today is #magenta Ok, I know we all have different takes on the color magenta but I think this chick is wearing a tutu that matches that description. #februarty25 #kidlitillustration #kidlitillustrator #dancingchicks #babychicks #artyear #kidlitarat

Today we have a trifecta! #artyear #fishyfeb with a #camouflage prompt & #februarty The #leafyseadragon has a convoluted body shape & it blends perfectly with its leafy surroundings. Without a stomach, they have to eat constantly. What's my excuse? #kidlitillustration #kidlitart #oceanart #reef

Where will we be without #fishyfeb? I don't know but here is today's prompt #vibrant. #colorfulfish #fishpainting #fishillustration #digitalcollage #procreateart #procreateartist #seekingrepresentation

Live from the #deepsea Red Carpet! #fishyfeb #februarty #kidlitillustration #kidlitartist #procreateart #shark #sharks #oceancreatures #tuxedos #februarty25

What's up on the #reef? Life there may be beautiful but dangerous. #februarty prompt #turquoise and an added nod to reef for #fishyfeb #kitlitartist #kidlitillustration #oceanreef #octopus #leafyseadragon #shark #procreateart and a little bit of #watercolor thrown in. Have a great day everyone.

#fishyfeb #bioluminescense #februarty #februarty25 #artyear Here we go... #kidlitillustration #octopus #jellyfish #kidlitillustrator #ocean #procreateart #procreateartist #makingarteveryday

📣 🗣️ Pass it on! 💚✊🏽💙 #resist

Today's prompt is #bigandsmall for #februarty Nothing says big and small better than this big bird with its baby. Snowbirds is a #mixedmedia illustration combining #watercolor and #collage Enjoy your stay home Sunday! It's a wild NE weather day here. #kidlitillustration #kidlitillustrator #birds

#blueskyartshow comes in with a #monochrome prompt. If you know my work, I tend to the very colorful but did have this #chickadee #watercolor that is a rather #monochromatic piece sending PEACE, HOPE, LOVE vibes. #mixedmedia #februarty #februarty25 #watercolorartist #watercolorillustration #birdart

Happy Valentine's Day! A #pair of #foxes send hearts on the winds on this day of #februarty #digitalart #digitalartist #kidlitillustration #kidlitillustrator #woodlandfoxed #hearts #foxillustration #februarty25

#fishyfeb and #februarty unite forces!!! #koipainting #watercolor #watercolorartist #koipond #koipair #lilypads
