Point of view painting from this calm and magical spot. Thunder rumbled through and bees buzzed happily around me as sheep and cows roamed through the fields. #oilpainting #pleinair #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #paintingitaly #painter

Plein air painting in the valley! I had to dodge a lot of fun bugs and spiders for this one 😅 #oilpainting #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #art #fineart #traditionalart

I took my time with this piece and focused on keeping it loose. At the very end, I added a few veins and crisp edges to the leaves. My artists who paint loose, do you find it hard to not go straight into the details from the first stroke? #oilpainting #traditionalart #art #painting #stilllife

Testing out a new filming set-up. We rigged the top of a tripod to the arm of a podcast mic… let’s see how it goes 😅 #oilpainting #painting #artistlife #artprocess #traditionalpainting

I painted this #limegreen vase last spring, when the weather was still chilly, but the days were getting sunnier. Happy as ever to be seeing the first signs of spring again! Also loving all the nature I’m seeing today in #acoloradaypril! 🌞💛 #oilpainting #oilpainter #stilllife #art #painting #spring

Happy #BlueSkyArtShow day! I think these beauties fit today’s theme, #peaceful I live in a small medieval village near the countryside where I occasionally get to see these lovely sheep 🐑🤍 #oilpainting #art #oilpainter #sheep #painting

First pass on this beautiful cabbage! Oil on panel 20x30 cm #oilpainting #oilpaintings #oilpainter #painting #paintings #painters #bskyart #art #contemporaryart #traditionalart

I’m stoked with how this quick study came out! I like the background unfinished with the orange-red tone showing, but I can’t decide if it’s too distracting. What do y’all think? Keep the orange-red or paint the background neutral/gray to unify it? #oilpainting #oilpaintings #painting #art

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Finishing touches on this limited palette still-life! It was fun, but challenging to get back to my artistic roots using only 4 colors: ultramarine blue, burnt Siena, cadmium yellow, and titanium white! #oilpainting #stilllifepainting #art #artist #artofbluesky #bskyart #painting #painter

This is my first #blueskyartshow! I hope this piece, featuring an #arch detail, is appropriate for the theme today. This piece, called “Farfalla” 🦋, recently sold at a local art gallery in #savannahga! #oilpainting #portraitpainting #artist #artists #blue #painting #paintings #art

I love working with a limited palette! It’s also a great way to learn when you’re just starting out. I used ultramarine blue, burnt siena, cadmium yellow, and titanium white. Do you prefer a limited palette or lots of colors? #oilpainting #painting #bskyart #art #paintings #oilpaintings

Feeling a little rusty painting this still-life after working on several figure paintings. Here is the block-in of this small piece! #oilpainting #painting #stilllifepainting #art #artist #oilpaintings #stilllife #artprocess

This was my first attempt at painting a grisaille before going in with color and I think it made a huge impact! Because of the values in the grisaille, the light and shadow on wrinkles of the pants is *chef’s kiss* #painting #paintings #art #artists #oilpainting #paintersofbluesky #artofbluesky

Is tap water safe to drink in Italy? What's the deal with tipping? Do they expect me to use the bidet in a public bathroom? 😂 We answer those questions and more in our latest episode! Find us wherever you listen to podcasts! #travelpodcast #travel #italy #tripplanning #travelitaly #podcasts

I’ve realized that hands are my favorite feature of the human body to paint. What is your favorite thing to paint or draw? Detail from self-portrait “Lament 2025” finished color vs grisaille #oilpainting #figurepainting #painting #art #blueskyartists #artoftheday

Working on a self-portrait study from life today. I paint from life as well as photos and find advantages/challenges with each. Do you prefer to paint from life or from a photo? #oilpainting #oilpaintings #oilpainter #portraitpainting #blueskyartists #artist #artoftheday #portraitart

New episode: Travel Tips You Didn’t Know You Needed We’ll address questions like: “Can you be fined for sitting in the wrong seat on a train” and “what to do if you get separated while traveling?” +much more! #podcast #travel #travelpodcast #italytravel #podcasters #applepodcasts

Detail from a piece that I just submitted to Figurativas! Recently, I set goals for myself to submit to more competitions. I know I won’t get into everything, but it feels good to put myself out there. Do you submit to art competitons? #art #artist #figurepainting #oilpainting #artgoals #artists

Finally getting a little color on this piece! It’s giving me vibes of the gray spell being lifted in Halloweentown 2 ✨ #oilpainting #artistsofbluesky #art #figurepainting #portrait #painting #artists #womensart #90skids

I’m hoping to finish the grisaille on this piece today with a good 6+ hours in the studio. I find it hard to get myself in the studio before noon. What is your most productive work time? #oilpainting #art #inthestudio #figurepainting #artistsofbluesky #artists #artoftheday

Plodding along with this painting and resisting the urge to stop and snack on some potato chips. Do you eat and paint at the same time or do you resist the urge? #art #artists #painting #oilpainting #artistsofbluesky

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

We've noticed a number of posts by people looking to get out of the States. So we made an episode on how to do so! We decided against titling it, "Move to Italy: Apparently, fewer fascists than USA" creators.spotify.com/pod/show/onl... #italy #podcasts #iwantout
