Laurelin in Blue Digital painting

If you have not yet experienced one of my Halloween art countdowns- I have a few copies left of “Lanterns Burn Bright” and “Revelry of Ravens” that can be enjoyed ANY year starting on October 18 to count down two weeks to Halloween with art, story, and stickers! www.joannabarnum.com/shop?categor...

It's nice to do these layouts from time to time to see how the work has evolved and how it's remained consistent. Lately, I've been shifting my emphasis from the tower to the portal.

I know others have likely said this, but the point and the joy in art is that it is problem solving in action. It is watching your improvement piece by piece and creating a personal visual language Whenever people use AI instead it quite literally defeats that entire purpose of creating

The Faerie Window 2025 I was looking at Eyvind Earle and Maxfield Parrish before and while working on this. I think I ended up being myself in the end, though.

I am open to offers on this set of four seasonal horse unicorns framed as a set! Each is 8" x 8" (not including the frames). I've had them for a bit and it would be nice if they went together. If not, I'll probably unframe them before Gen Con and move them to my unframed original basket.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Have me in mind if you need a landscape painted.

The Quack of Dawn, personal #art. One of my most surreal ones, as I embrace the urge to swoosh and follow my own silly voice, wherever it may lead. Painted mainly from imagination by me, a human boy. Let's all be more quirky in our styles and complete ourselves, not compete among ourselves.

The Red Cathedral 2021 It's been a few years, but I still really like this piece. Gold ornamentation, subsurface scattering, and a subject with strong local color--all were fun to paint!

Have a lucky day, friends! (Jack-O-March…or maybe it should be Jack O’March?) www.joannabarnum.com/shop/jack-o-... #stpatricksday #halloween #art

Havenlight 2023 Bringing the tower motif to a horizontal format for the first time. I also explored a more neutral palette than usual.

I'll have them up until March 25. This is just a few of the 13 I have available, go see! www.joannabarnum.com/shop?categor...

A little bit of a stylistic change up for me, this rendition of The Tower was painted for an upcoming tarot deck themed around stained glass. The Tower 2024

I declare this most miserable Winter OVER! And I do just mean the Winter. Life has been good actually. I got to work and I got to play, work was playful and the play was productive, but all the cold, dark, rain, and mud depressed me beyond words. Here's some sunny artwork!

Oldie. Think I was playing a lot of Inside at the time

Some more nature dailies

"They are decay, try as you might you'll not escape them."

Little Lichen World New painting of a small twig, possibly for an audience of me, but here it is anyway. I'm not sure if I want to not paint lichen again for a while, or paint everything else covered in lichen... lostthicket.etsy.com/listing/1882... #sciart #oilpainting #painting #art

Painted a mural a while ago, it took months so I’m going keep bothering you about it

Unto Dawn 2024 A sunlit world waits beyond the threshold of a portal standing in a night-shrouded landscape. The light and life of the world beyond spill out into the world outside: trees blossom, plants grow, and warmth touches the earth.

Some recent pages from my cheap acrylic #sketchbook as I stumble into art. I did get a few Lefranc acrylic paints, Prussian blue, Turquoise and Titanium white, those feel nicer, the second image only uses those three. #TraditionalArt #sketch

Background art from Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)

Mysterium Mortis 2024 Are you even an artist if you haven't done a riff on Isle of the Dead? 😆 Thinking about the unknown with this piece, and the doomed edifices of certainty with which we seek to contain it.

The Garden Gate 2024 A flowering portal leading into a verdant landscape.

Sempiternal Sight 2025 The latest in a series of circular portals I've been creating. A peaceful seaside overlook atop a flowering hill.
