I like the contrasts in the #pattern of leaves in my monkey puzzle close up. The light edges highlighting the spikes against the darker corners but also the way the centre appears softer. #opposites #SensoryArt #classicMono #MacroMonday #makersmARTch #ArtYear #EastCoastKin #macrophotography #nature

Le plus grand courage est d’être soi-même : imparfait, original, unique. Se montrer sans masque, marcher malgré la peur, assumer ses failles comme des forces. Car seule l’authenticité touche les cœurs…❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰✨

Thought I better finish this for #InternationalWomensDay Pottery glaze on earthenware.

People aren’t getting the messages they need the most. As our government info systems (CDC, NOAA) get dismantled, this is getting worse. Truth doesn't have a marketing budget, so spreading those messages is up to us. ONE solution to this is street art. Join me 3/18 at 8pm ET 5pm PT lu.ma/42w54y8f

Happy #internationalwomensday Keep fighting the good fight

Not been out due to the rain and winds over the last 3 days. Looks set to continue through to mid March. Yikes! These Iberian Shrike are very tidy mini raptors, look at the blush colour on the belly. This one didn't get away. #birds

I absolutely love painting birds and am so lucky to live near a bird sanctuary that has a stunning bald eagle and lots of vultures which I have yet to paint 🐡🪶 #birds #birdsofprey #ArtYear #ArtShop #ArtShare #natureart

A small gift for the borrowers

I cannot, during these horrific times, recommend enough the importance of making pockets of time to just do things that are not related to anything but the joy of being alive and playing. You need it. You do. It will keep you whole. Which we need. We need you whole.

In 1960 there was a sit-in protest at the Woolworths counter in Nashville. We sat at that restored counter in 2018. Celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth! www.blackpast.org/african-amer...
