A tenuous link with today's #JanuArty prompt #brush The figure is brushing something from their arm. I said it was tenuous. #JanuArty2026 #painting #portrait #artist #art #bskyart #acrylicpainting #portraitpainting #dailypainting

Happy New Year! In 2026 I'm going to try and post more here. I post #DailyArt on my blog, but don't have the habit elsewhere. Here's one I did recently in my A3 #sketchbook in #acrylic. Model: Dinoopis #art #artist #DailyPainting #FigureDrawing #painting #FigurativeArt #ScottishArtist

Bluesky pals, here's an early preview exclusive: Painted these A4-sized abstract koi fish with vibrant Japanese watercolours + fine liner. Truly some of my finest work! So freshly done I haven't even signed them yet. Any takers before I list them? £180 each or £300 both, get in touch (UK only) 😊

Hello, haven't posted here for ages, I am a bit rubbish at posting my art on the socials. Went to see Ken Currie: The Crossing/An Turas in Inverness this week, amazing paintings! I've been playing with some limited palettes recently, and here's a wee canvas board I painted the day after the visit.

Day 45 #The100DayProject 100 one hour alla prima oil portraits on 6x8" paper. Profile portraits are going to be the theme for the rest of the week. #art #artist #painter #oilpainting #portrait #womensart #womeninart #allaprima #blueskyart #traditionalart #painting #dailyart #limitedpalette

Day 44 #The100DayProject 100 one hour alla prima oil portraits on 6x8" paper. She might be called 'The Markets'. #art #artist #painter #oilpainting #portrait #womensart #womeninart #allaprima #blueskyart #traditionalart #painting #dailyart #limitedpalette

In honour of Hayao Miyazaki I've implemented the biggest update to the GenAI mute/block list in a few months. Clear your feed. Let me know of any missed accounts and any false positive I might have swept up. I'm not perfect and happy to review mistakes. bsky.app/profile/eidy...

Day 43 #The100DayProject "Portraits should include neck and shoulders and not be disembodied heads." So I broke that rule. One hour oil portrait. #art #artist #painter #painting #oilpainting #traditionalart #portrait #selfportrait #womensart #womeninart #allaprima #blueskyart

Day 42 #The100DayProject 100 one hour alla prima oil portraits. Same selfie, different palette, Three colours plus white. Keep creating 💜 #art #artist #painting #painter #portrait #selfportrait #traditionalart #womensart #skyart #oilpainting #womeninart #limitedpalette

Day 40/41 #The100DayProject I broke the streak a bit, as I was unable to stand to finish yesterday's self-portrait, gave in, and finished it today. I like how the slight abstraction turned out. #art #artist #painting #painter #portrait #selfportrait #traditionalart #womensart #skyart #oilpainting

Day 38 #The100DayProject Returning to this selfie reference for another go. This might be the best likeness so far. One hour oil on paper alla prima portrait. #art #womensart #selfportrait #oilpainting #allaprima #traditionalart #dailyart #painting #painter #artist #portrait #portraitpainting

G'day! Today we're going to take a look at the very fascinating vaginas of Thylarctos plummetus - commonly called drop bears. These rare Australian animals are very fascinating down under...

Day 36+37 #The100DayProject 36 is on the right, 37 is pouting on the left. 36 was only half an hour, today was the full hour. I used the Zorn Palette today. #art #artist #painter #oilpainting #painting #portrait #skyart #allaprima #traditionalart #womensart #zornpalette

I stand against the unlawful theft of creatives work for the purposes of furthering generative #AI. #UKPolitics #BookSky #KidLitUK chng.it/vMQp4g4YvF

I laid out all 35 portraits that I've done so far for #The100DayProject and took a photo. What a journey this is. #art #artist #painter #painting #OilPainting #TraditionalArt #PortraitPainting #portrait #WomensArt

Day 35 #The100DayProject Instead of using the photo reference, I used a previous painting of the reference as a reference, and also enforced standing further back from the easel. I was also having an inner dialogue about art and creativity (see previous post). #art #portrait #womensart #blueskyart

Someone just said to me elsewhere, in their defence of using GenAI "art", that the majority of art in galleries was produced as commissions. Their argument seemingly that GenAI is fine because art is just a person responding to a client's wishes, which is what promoters do.

Day 34 #The100DayProject Had fun with the pink in this one. One hour timed portrait, and it's a reference I have worked with a few times, but not in oils. #art #blueskyart #oilpainting #portrait #allaprima #dailyart

Day 32 and 33 #The100DayProject I like using the same reference and telling different stories, and yesterday's and today's paintings have very different things going on. #art #blueskyart #portrait #oilpainting #allaprima

Day 31 #The100DayProject I didn't have an hour today, so this is a 30 minute oil sketch using one of my scratchy brushes. It's probably more of an underpainting than anything else, but it's done, streak maintained. #art #blueskyart #oilsketch #oilpainting #portrait #traditionalart

Day 30 #The100DayProject Chose a reference I have used a few times, for a bit of ease and familiarity, instead of looking at myself again today. #art #blueskyart #allaprima #oilpainting #onehourpainting #dailyart #artblogger #limitedpalette

Day 29 #The100DayProject Tried another way of laying paint down. I found the hour too short for this method, rushed, and managed to paint out too many shadows, and the cheeks are odd, but I learned a few things, which is the point. Also Day 400 of #dailyart #art #blueskyart #oilpainting #portrait

Day 28 #The100DayProject A choice between not painting, and not reaching a 400 day streak of daily art on my blog tomorrow, or doing a fast and wonky effort. I chose fast and wonky and my streak. You win some, you lose some, that's art. #art #badart #blueskyart #portrait

BONUS: female Jacobites incited the1st call for female MPs. After Culloden they *paid their own fines* cos under Scots Law they had property rights. Result: English women demanded female reps at Westminster cos they wanted rights too. 172 years later Lady Astor became the 1st to take her seat /7

Here’s the start of the AI Hater Brigade starter pack! If you’re a writer/artist, let me know if you want to join (or unjoin). You don’t need to have a whole feed/personality around hating generative AI to be part of the brigade, just a healthy disrespect for AI slop. go.bsky.app/Uwvsq5A

The AI Hater Brigade starter pack is growing fast. Join us in our contempt for the art theft machine. go.bsky.app/Uwvsq5A

Day 27 #The100DayProject One hour alla prima self-portrait with caput mortuum. Because I love caput mortuum. I am strangely fascinated with the self-portrait process, being a person who rarely posts a photo of myself online. #art #blueskyart #oilpainting #allaprima #selfie #selfportrait #portrait

25/100 ~ Farewell to Winter; I shall miss your muted palette, your quiet serenity, your doorway to contemplative spaces. #the100dayproject #100DaysofTrees #artyear #creativelife #treeart #inkart #inkpainting #inkpour #treeabstract #abstractart #limitedpalette

So it's National Poetry Day today - fancy chucking a wee bit of support my way please? Much of my work can be found on my Ko-fi page 😊

Day 26 #The100DayProject Another portrait from a selfie. The Noise Men were back outside filling my house with music from their van, and I tried to capture the hot flash that was also plaguing my painting 😆 Gave up at 40mins. #art #blueskyart #oilpainting #portrait #selfie #selfportrait ##dailyart

Day 25 #The100DayProject I laughed so much painting this. I painted it from a selfie taken when I was pulling a face. I played with accentuating the features, and giggled the whole time. A self-portrait of sorts 😁 Might do a series of these. #art #blueskyart #portrait #oilpainting #selfportrait
