Tonight!

This is so concerning

The 17th-century still-life painter Rachel Ruysch was once more famous than Vermeer, Zachary Fine writes. Why did she fall out of history?

If you’re out in Lancaster City for the big Paint the City event, imm be painting outside Red Raven Art Co on gallery row. And also probably sweating 🥴 stop by and say hello! #art #painting #floralart #sciart #botanicalart #pollinators #flowers

i would LOVE to see "Monsteras on Cherrywood" finally go to a new home 🌿 this piece was wood-burnt by hand onto a section of real salvaged cherry wood, and still has all the beautiful bark on the back side! find it in my shop today 💕 #Plants #Garden #Nature #Pyrography #ArtSky #ShopSmall

If you're in Lancaster PA pick up today's LNP Newspaper (June 18th) & inside is summer issue of Balance Magazine. I’m grateful to be featured on the cover and there’s a lovely article inside about my work! I'll share the online link as soon as I have it. 🌸🐝🦋 #art #painting #floralart 🐡 #flowers

I've reached that point where I'm just ready for summer #flowers to get here. Like now. The worst is waiting all those long months for dahlias to bloom. This is Silver Years #dahlia. Detail & full painting. #art #floralpainting #botanicalart #sciart #floralart #bloomscrolling #painting

This is a Platinum Blonde #Dahlia. I was never impressed by photos of them, then a friend gave me one and said I had to paint it, so I did. Now I get the hype. She was pure #sunshine and #joy! #art #painting #bloomscrolling #flowers 🐡 #botanicalart #floralart

Next Wednesday I'll be sharing some cool news (I know, teaser, not fair) but for now, I'm excited to share that prints are now available! 8 in all, 2 limited editions, and 6 open editions of florals and some of my skull work. I've worked so hard on these! #art #flowers #skulls #sciart #botanicalart

How are we in June already? I’ve been busy and missed sharing that Lilac Frenzy was selected to the American Women Artists Online Juried Show. I didn’t get accepted into the museum shown this year, so it made this extra special. #art 🐡 #floralart #bloomscrolling #flowers #dahlias #bitanicalart

I’m up to boring stuff in the studio (like priming panels) so here’s something more exciting… my ranunculus are finally blooming!!! #bloomscrolling #springflowers #floralartist #ranunculus #anemone

This. Remembering those who gave their lives for the fundamental freedoms we have.

Memorial Day isn’t just about burgers and barbecues — it’s about honoring those who gave everything so we can live free. Take a moment to remember. Then go ahead and enjoy your weekend. That’s what they fought for adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/what-memor...

I try to make it look easy 🙃

Been waiting days for her to open. One petal short ALL day yesterday. 9:30pm she opens 🤨. 3 hrs to paint. 😴 But look how beautiful she is! #art #iris #flowers #bloomscrolling #garden #painting #sciart #botanicalart #floralart

#Daffodils never bloom long enough. I’m already missing them. I have so many but I want to add some peachy ones. Suggestions? #art #botanicalart #sciart #flowers #floralart #springflowers #gardening

No painting today. Working to finish the #garden expansion this weekend. The black rat #snake hatchlings are finally out and about! I just love them! My #anemones are #blooming like crazy. #floralartist

Might add one more leaf, need to think about it for a few days. #iris #gardenflower #bloomscrolling #floralart #painting #art #botanicalart #sciart #irisflowers #flowers

Shall we take a poll… AI troll account or just a sad troll that can fuck off? I give zero fucks, but wonder why people are filled with so much hate they need to create accounts like this. It’s sad really. So many better things they could be doing with their time.

Up #painting way too late, but I really want to finish this one. This is my favorite part, when the #flowers start to feel grounded in their space. #art #floralart #bloomscrolling #sciart #botanicalart

I never take commissions because I just don't have time, but I did and I literally had it ready to deliver today but I needed to take it outside to photo and some weird barely there wind blew it off my easel. And now I'm all but crying because it damaged the top edge. I can repair it. But...

A little peek at my #painting space. So close to finishing this joyful painting of black-purple irises. #art #floralart #flowers #botanicalart #artist #irises #sciart #bloomscrolling #flowerart #oilpainting #artstudio #floralartist @bsky.art

It’s pouring. So much rain. All I want to do is plant my dahlias. But also grateful for the rain. I’m conflicted. 😐

Thought it would be a good time to re-share my top 10 tips for painting spring flowers from life. It's a workout for sure, but there are ways to extend their vase life and corral them because they never stop moving! www.mercer-vernon.com/blog/paintin... #art #arttips #paintingflowers 🐡 #floralart

Am I the only one that thinks black #flowers are gorgeous?? One of the four black #irises I planted is blooming and it’s stunning! I have two stems so I’m killing myself to paint them before they fade. #art #iris #floralart #flowersonfriday #sciart #botanicalart #painting

🐜 Smile, it’s Thursday. Sure the world is shit right now, but look at this little ant in awe of a #flower. #art #botanicalart #sciart #insects #floralart #floralpainting #painting #daffodil

Fabulous from the inimitable @mercer-vernon.com

I've been painting apple blossom from life, a challenge as the buds open so fast! Observing differences in colour between apple varieties, and between individual buds has been fascinating. Lots of opera rose watercolour, and attempts to show blue-ish shadows without swamping the pale blossoms.
