#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1960: Harper Lee publishes her first novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Noted for its treatment of a child’s awakening to racism in the South, the book won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It was an immediate success, eventually selling more than 40 million copies.

A simple but beautiful black and white butterfly in pointillism. Something of a palette cleanser for me as I finish up my larger canvas. #art #artist #butterfly #butterflies #artwork #blueskyartshow #artshow #nature #ink

I’m now adding the road. It’s very dark colors so I’m going to put a white wash over it to soften the color. #WIP #butterfly #butterflies #art #artist #artwork #chapel #flowers #rose #TulsaOK

Finished the walkway leading to the chapel. There’s more to do but it’s all about little successes. #WIP #art #artist #butterfly #butterflies #chapel #TulsaOK #artwork #ink #pointillism

The sky is nearly complete and next is the walkway leading up to the chapel. Slowly but surely! #WIP #butterfly #butterflies #art #artist #artwork #artshow #church #chapel #garden #roses #TulsaOK

Butterfly pics are easy to find online but I always snap my own when I can. I often use my own as a reference for position and form and then I use pics online as a reference to a specific species. Here are a few of my own taken back in September ‘24. #art #artist #artwork #butterflies

Outraged and heartbroken by the news of two young people killed last night in DC in a targeted act of antisemitic violence. This is the opposite of advancing justice and peace - it only furthers the violence, pain, and loss - and such hatred must be firmly rejected by all.

I can’t wait to see this with the background around it. I think it will pop. One of many butterflies on my #WIP. #butterfly #butterflies #art #artist #artwork #oklahoma #tulsaOK #artshow #paint #ink #dots

Oh so much to do but this piece keeps me motivated. I can’t wait to complete it. #art #artist #artwork #butterfly #butterflies #teal #turquoise #artshow #wildlife #nature #pointillism #ink #pen #pens

Our true saints, pollinators! I need to go back and add to the other side of this window shudder. #art #artist #artwork #fineart #iconography #butterfly #butterflies #artgallery #tulsa #tulsaOK #oklahoma #wildlife #nature

Heya! I believe I’m finally starting to finalize the hat design, though I’d still love a second opinion :) Your thoughts are very appreciated! Every piece of this drawing has its own texture, so it’s very intimidating when I finish a part… #art #drawing #cat #witch #oc #traditionalart #ink

I keep a photo of the monarch butterfly tribute mural. I completed this project this time last year. If you’re in Norman, OK, stope by Legally Brewed and look up. #mural #publicmural #art #artist #butterfly #butterflies #artgallery #artshow #NormanOK

I’ve been experimenting with putting my art on cards. What do you think? Would you buy a pack of eight blank butterfly cards? What’s a good price tag? #art #artist #butterfly #butterflies #artwork #TulsaOK #artgallery #gallery #artshow #tulsa

This lovely piece sold many moons ago but it’s one of my favorites. #art #artist #artwork #ink #artshow #paint #painting #artgallery #gallery #pointillism #dots #butterfly #butterflies

Feel free to share. This is shameful

This was a gift to my mother a few years ago. She’s still my biggest supporter. #art #artist #ink #paint #painting #butterfly #butterflies #flowers #artshow #fineart #artgallery #mothersday

Bit by bit the vinyl record becomes the sky. 😉 #art #artist #artwork #fineart #butterfly #butterflies #BlueSkyArtShow #ink #paint #painting #artshow #gallery

More butterflies added to the canvas. Well, part of one anyway. 😊 #art #artist #paint #painting #butterfly #butterflies #nature #insects #insectart #fineart #artshow #ink #pointillism

I needed to see this piece today. “Effulgent.” It’s part of my Backscatter series. 36x48in, acrylic,silver leaf. #art #artist #butterfly #butterflies #paint #painting #artwork #artgallery #BlueSkyArtShow #TulsaOK

#tulsaMayFest #mayfest. Great art, music, and food.

I had an art show last year of my series “A Study in Delicacy.” This was the image I used to advertise, the Colorado Hairstreak. #butterfly #butterflies #art #artist #artwork #ink #pointillism #colorado #fineart

Loving the chapel. I’m excited to start working on the sky. #art #artist #artwork #artgallery #fineart #church #chapel #ink #artshow

I’m very pleased with how the chapel has turned out. I couldn’t finish the front lawn tonight but it’s coming along. #art #artwork #artist #artshow #chapel #painting #paint #fineart #blueskyartshow #gallery #artgallery

Enjoy a blue buckeye lovely. #art #artist #artwork #artshow #butterfly #butterflies #ink #pointillism #nature #wildlife

This lovely Spanish Moon Moth is one of my favorites. #art #artist #ink #artshow #pointillism #moth #nature #wildlife #drawing #draw

I’ve shared it before but I can’t help myself. It was a risk to punch holes through a canvas but I love this piece. Yep, light shines through the holes. #art #artist #fyp #artshow #blueskyartshow #butterfly #butterflies #ink #light

My first pointillism piece in 2018 and I haven’t stopped. Love what I do. #art #artist #ink #love #butterfly #butterflies #dots #pointillism #artshow #wildlife #nature

Progress on the chapel (white cover up of smudges) and new butterflies added to the flight. #art #artist #butterfly #butterflies #canvas #paint #color #bitbybit

A lovely purple butterfly added to the mix! I needed a break from the brick work on the chapel. 😉😊 #art #artist #butterfly #butterflies #paint #painting #color #ink #wildlife #nature #artshow #artgallery #gallery #pointillism

I love the teal and hint of red from a Queen Alexandra Birdwing Butterfly. #art #artist #ink #color #draw #butterfly #butterflies #paint #dots #artshow #gallery #nature #wildlife

This is one of my early works where I combined pointillism with a water color background. #art #artist #ink #painting #butterfly #butterflies #watercolor #nature #wildlife #artshow

I thought I’d share this beauty again. #butterfly #butterflies #art #artist #ink #flowers #garden #artshow #BlueSkyArtShow

A throw back to this trio of primary color paintings. They are so bright! #art #artist #butterfly #butterflies #color #artshow #dots

Started on the chapel last night. This chapel has some very unique brick work to it so I’m excited to see if I can pull it off through pointillism. #art #artist #ink #butterfly #butterflies #painting #chapel

It’s so fun putting so many different butterflies together in one painting. The more the merrier. #WIP #art #artist #ink #pointillism #painting #canvas #butterflies #butterfly #surreal #love #beauty #tulsaOK

Piece by piece the chapel is coming together. It’s what I do when I’m waiting for a butterfly’s wing to dry. #WIP #artshow #BlueSkyArtShow #art #artist #butterfly #butterflies #paint #painting #chapel #trees #nature #wildlife
