Had a delightfully multicultural paint class this weekend. Thankful that language is not a barrier & art is global and inclusive. #art #multicultural #inclusive #paint

Even though I'm doing all the work, I do love that blissful face on our Saturday morning kayak river run. #Saturday #bliss #workout #outside #dog

Some of my friends are going viral 🤣 #epstein #music #distraction #ladies youtube.com/source/R8AGE...

Here's a couple places that I've been yarnbombing around town. #rosesagainstviolence #stopviolenceagainstwomen #yarnbombing

I've taken on a cause that (I feel) all women could support. Gonna be yarn bombing my town tomorrow! 💜😈🔮 #rosesagainstviolence #stopviolenceagainstwomen #yarnbombing

Focused in on my worldbuilding today. This is "Night Street." #writingcommunity #worldbuilding #watercolor #illustrator

Augustus is one of my new "agents of chaos." Careful or he may spill his ideas all over the page! #writing #writingcommunity #character #watercolor #illustrator

I just made this character for my friend. She bought a jeep with pink accents. Looks just like her! 🤣 #1OAK #jeep #duck #crochet #art

I made this because it was 38F/3.3C this morning! #crochet #spring #chill #shawl #hoodie

Inspired to create something different... #art #abstract #mothersday #watercolor

Felt like painting a story today. #artists #writers #artistcommunity ##writingcommunity

Got my head examined inside a futuristic donut to odd playlist of loud native style drum beats inducing mid-70's trippy imagery! Yes, I remember the 70's. I forgot the Altoids in my back pocket. All's well. Unclear whether that refers to what's in my head or what's left in my pockets? #writer #MRI

I created this guy as the reluctant hero of a new story. Still working on the tale. Any ideas for a name? #character #writingcommunity #artist #writing

Say hello to my grumpy friend 🧡 Happy Spring! #toad #spring #grumpy #friend #beauty #kissable

Many of us are reticent to share our work. I am one of them. However, I've decided to take the plunge and share this piece. #write #writingcommunity #writer #fear open.substack.com/pub/artistvl...

Feeling Feral... #feral #feeling #artist #writer

Took a break from writing and made these amigurumi projects...a lucky gnome called Michael, an old forest goddess, and a sort of scary jackalope with fangs. Characters? #writingcommunity #amigurumi #gnome #goddess

Cabin fever makes my creativity a bit cheeky. #amigurumi #cheeky #cabinfever

Listening to the draft of my book and one paragraph sounds either so ultimate OCD or a drunk text. My desk suggests the former. #writing #writingcommunity #ocd

I crocheted a Gargoyle to protect me from the monsters in my storyline. #writing #writingcommunity #monsters #gargoyle

Craving a taste of my MD home on cold winter day, so I made crab soup. Yum! #home #crab #soup #winter

Sorry Flurry...ya gotta be clean to sleep on my bed. #dogsofbluesky #cutedog #bathtime

My Flurry-girl enjoys time for a little romp in the snow #dogs #dogsofbluesky #snow

Been working on my ghostly murder mystery. Already have around 14k words of the first draft. #Writing #writingcommunity #writers

The snow is fabulous up here in Canaan Valley!! #snow #winter #ski #tubing #Canaan

Smells like teen spirit! #music #nirvana #spirit #funny

2024 was a productive year for me. From whimsical watercolors, first draft of an autobiographic thriller & first self written, illustrated & published book for adult level drawing. I've started the 2nd "Seeing" book about color. Working on a murder mystery based on a true story. #goals #art #writing

My beautiful 3-1/2 year old grand girlie just announced to all that she farted...then proceeded to demonstrate how it smells. Love holiday gatherings! ❣️ Ho! HO! HO! #holidays #gathering #girls #fart

My friend from Shiny Stuff Stained Glass made my newest art acquisition. He inspires me from the corner of my desk. #art #raven #fantasyart #inspire

Will you play with me? Please?? #cutedog #dog #play

It’s time for me to move away from politics and focus on writing about stuff I’m interested in exploring. So please enjoy this little black swan song…no, I mean unruly black-bird song. open.substack.com/pub/artistvl... #writingcommunity #politics #artist

I had my first book signing event at local coffee shop. It was a great success! #writing #writingcommunity #Booksigning

I have such angst about my first book signing event that I scheduled another one two days prior to the first! Jeez! I guess I needed a little dress rehearsal. open.substack.com/pub/artistvl... #author #Booksigning #book #writingcommunity

For all of you that come out to any of my book signings, you get a free value scale too. Here's the link again to get my book in advance: www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMSGVJ4Y

What are you lookin at? I've had a ruff day. #cute #dog #eye #spoiled

I had a passion to be an artist, so I am. Passion to be an author. I am. Passion to self-publish. Never again! I'll be querying, writer conferences, & pitching my stories like a wild bird triple-dipped in psychosis & deep fried in dregs of publishing hell. :D #Writingcommunity #Writer #Author #art

It's just a story, right?? open.substack.com/pub/artistvl...

I wish someone had mentioned that I should not use tables in MSWord when writing a "how to" book with pics...still slogging through formatting. #writing #writingcommunity

Ok...1 Xanax, 1 pc, 2 monitors, 1 manuscript, 1 tutorial on formatting, 1 phone on 'do not disturb. ' Wish me luck. #writer #writingcommunity #selfpublish

In my latest blog I wish all a Happy Halloween! open.substack.com/pub/artistvl... #writer #blog #Halloween #witch

Went 1k ft higher up to see my favorite tree. She's still beautiful but the weather is a bit schizophrenic.

I've finished my book cover. YaY! The todo list includes one final edit and add in the back cover synopsis. At that point, I need to figure out self publishing. *sigh* Anyway, how do you like my back and front cover? #writing #cover #writingcommunity #selfpublishing #writer #artist

Got a nice shot of our nearest neighbors, Andromeda and her satellite galaxy. The little M110 ia a dwarf galaxy that circles Andromeda and is part of our local group. #Night #sky #stars #galaxy #photography

Every time I opened my mouth, mom would ask if I'm telling stories again. Guess what? I am! artistvlmoore.substack.com/p/telling-st... #stories #writing #writers

It's been raining for 11 days. When everything stopped dripping, my Flurry girl decided she's Queen of the mushroom forest! #cute #dog #forest
