A slightly over-worked, slightly over-saturated oil painting from earlier this year ✨

First painting of 2026! Every so often I let myself do a lil pop art, as a treat. Here's Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard 🕶️ available in my etsy shop, link in bio. #art #oilpainting

When a poem becomes a prayer. Siegfried Sassoon (1934)

Proof I’m alive and making art 🥲 these are all acrylic underpaintings waiting for oil paint (and actual final colors lol) and I am SWIMMING in them. Pro tip: instead of trying to finish a work of art and potentially failing, just start a new one! Works every time!

Next in my ongoing zodiac series, belated as usual, Cancer the crab! I personally struggle to relate to this sign the most and am therefore unsurprised that I struggled the most (so far) with this painting! Happy Saturday!

When you have time, the bookstores miss you. When you have time, the misty moors miss you. When you have time, the haunted seashores miss you. When you have time, the soft raindrops falling on moss in the forest miss you. They will wait, in quiet darkness, until you're ready.

We had a buck in our yard today! 🦌 He should’ve been more suspicious of me than he was given that I was wearing a coat similar in color to a mountain lion’s, js

Bluesky you deserve some fireflies in a cornfield. Not pictured-the young hawk chased away by robins, the enormous kale after the rain, the smell of the tomato plant leaves.

Happy last day of #Gemini season 🌞 I wrapped up this painting just in time! #originalart

Making a separate post for this one because 1) I still don’t have BlueSky figured out and 2) this painting will be part of @gallerynucleus.bsky.social ’s Power in Numbers show at the end of this month (June 28!)! #PIN2025 Please enjoy these progress pics and check out the show if you’re in the area!

Here are some paintings I made in May! 😊 First up is this painting of some mothereffing snakes on a mothereffing house #acrylicpainting

I plan to post at least one of my photos a day here on Bluesky. I design each of my photos using recent research into the benefits to mental health of looking at plants & patterns in nature. Making my collections relaxes my noisy autistic+ADHD brain & they'll relax yours by looking at them here:

Taurus season began a week ago and here’s my ode to this patient, grounded, lavish sign🌞 Painted last year, oil on birch panel. #taurus #oilpainting

The lost art of DVD menu transitions.

Happy spring equinox! I never actually posted my finished Aries painting on here and I’m sorry. Here ‘tis! Oil on birch panel 🐏♈️ #aries #newyear

Today we had our first snow of this winter! I’ve been sick all week so I only went outside long enough to get a couple pics and of course it’s all melted by the time I post this :’)

Why does <they> are coming for your jobs never apply to <A.I.> is coming for your jobs? A.I. founders openly declare that to be a goal, while evidence shows immigrants actually create jobs by growing the economy.

Someone this week: hey, how are you doing? Me: I’m doing ok :) My Letterboxd last four watched: 😬

Here’s the first painting of 2025! Blue Jay and Blossoms. Oil on paper 🌸 P.S. I’m trying to avoid Meta as much as possible and it’s just as well since I’ve been neglecting BlueSky :’)

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

What I'm researching today: trees commonly found in British churchyards. Answer: Yew trees, associated with immortality. Some of them are more than 1,000 years old! www.plant-lore.com/plantofthemo...

In Flemish folktales witches are said to have stolen horses to ride them through the woods at night. When they brought them back in the morning, the horses were often adorned with flowers and had their manes and tails braided. 🎨Sieskja

First layers on #Aries painting :)

Color study for a new (year long) series of paintings based on the zodiac signs! First up, #Aries and I can’t wait to get started 🐏

Nothing like a sunny morning to actually motivate me to be in the studio and work on some art 🙂

The whiplash I got going from “I hate painting on canvas” to seeing these in the art store and immediately buying 3 bundles 😬
