I am absolutely soul weary this week. Some little thief has come and stolen all my spoons and I feel like I am just going through the motions. #spoonielife #spoonieart #art #alcoholink #alcoholinkart #spoonthief fineartamerica.com/featured/thi...

My cousin is graduating this year, so I am painting a little card for her. Sure hope she likes it! #art #watercolors #watercolorart #mouse #mouseart #Dandelion

7 years ago, I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in-situ. Breast cancer.I was in the early stages of it.Throughout my journey, I found that I had 2 different kinds of cancer, and that for appearances, a unilateral mastectomy was recommended.I was lucky.No chemo/radiation.Just surgery. #cancer #art

I have Fibromyalgia and other co-morbid things that often accompany it.Years ago, I came across the Spoon Theory by Christine Miserandino and thought YES!This explains it!Eventually, that led to a series of paintings. fineartamerica.com/profiles/wen... #art #spoonieart #spoontheory #chronicpain

The Green Lady. Sometimes you just need to look at something peaceful, especially in today's turbulent times. fineartamerica.com/featured/the... #art #alcoholinkart #alcoholink #natureart #magicalart

Believe it or not, this was my first attempt at drawing and painting birds.I love how alcohol ink just forms textures and lights and darks.If only it weren't so smelly and were more lightfast! fineartamerica.com/featured/hug... #alcoholink #art #alcoholinkart #birds #yggdrasil #thoughtmemory #viking

Some pretty flowers to celebrate spring and to say thank you to some neighbors. #watercolors #art #watercolorart #flowers #flowerart #thankyou

Layering in alcohol ink can be a challenge, so getting a transparent look is difficult. Alcohol ink repels itself, so every time you put alcohol ink on top of itself, it pushes what is under it away. fineartamerica.com/featured/wat... #alcoholinkart #art #waterart #alcoholink #elementsart

You know you are getting at least decent at art when others start to steal it.This was not the first of mine to get trace and copied by another,but it is one my favs.And boy, is it anger inducing when it happens! fineartamerica.com/featured/bat... #alcoholinkart #art #alcoholink #dancerart #moonart

One of my first attempts at painting figures in alcohol ink. Moving beyond abstract and into representational art. Growing up, I didn't think my stick figures were any good. Everything I paint starts with a simple thought. "I wonder if I can." fineartamerica.com/featured/bea... #art #alcoholinkart

After awhile of painting abstracts and simple forms in alcohol ink, I wanted to see if I could do something more detailed.Eyes are full of color and depth. I gave it a go. This is my cat Sadie. #alcoholinkart #art #catart #eyes fineartamerica.com/featured/cat...

One of my favorites from my early days in alcohol ink. Willows by the Pond. Sometimes, using paper that stains can create some gorgeous effects! #alcoholinkart #alcoholink #art fineartamerica.com/featured/wil...

I started my art journey late in life. At first, I started with photography, figuring that I couldn't even draw a nice looking looking stick figure. After a breast cancer diagnosis, holding a camera was hard. I discovered alcohol ink as an outlet. One of my early pieces. #art #alcoholinkart #treeart

So, I'm a little late. I'm recovering from surgery and slow LOL This is Ostara and the Hare. Happy belated Easter! fineartamerica.com/featured/ost... #easter #moongoddess #fertilitygoddess #ostara #rabbit #alcoholink #art #artwork #easterart #alcoholinkart

Recovering from surgery with my kitties as constant companions.

I'm not sure that I will ever get over the hypocrisy of the Republican party cheering on an immigrant who is actively and publicly taking American jobs away.

@damenfaltor.bsky.social Happy birthday, my love!

Feeling super down today and having a hard time finding the light. So, here's a whimsical painting to try to help me and anyone else who needs some peace. Spring Among the Birch Trees. #art #alcoholink #painting #alcoholinkpainting #nature #trees #whimsy fineartamerica.com/featured/spr...

Oh...Hi. Just playing around with watercolors, and this one made me smile. Something we all need right now! #watercolors #art #cats #catart #catlife #sometimesyoujustneedtolaugh

Ahh Monday morning doom scrolling. It's like a car crash on the highway. You want to just go your own way and not pay it too much attention, yet, you can't help but look as you pass it and wonder just how it could have happened.

I painted this for my youngest who was having a hard time. It seems fitting for current events as well.The Celtic symbol Ailm represents strength and endurance, as well as resilience.The chamomile flower represents patience in adversity #art #painting #watercolor fineartamerica.com/featured/res...

I've been thinking about this quote since before Nov.

I'm a Florida transplant to Georgia. This was an exciting morning #snow #georgiasnow

"But who knows how long a grief may last? Isn't it possible that, even thirty or forty years after the death of a child or a brother or a sister, one may half waken, thinking of that person with the same lost emptiness, that feeling of places which may never be filled..not even in death?" - S. King

Took a break from posting for the holidays. I had way too much to do! Including painting a couple paintings for my kids as gifts. Acrylic is not my main medium, nor is painting on upright canvas. But I think these came out alright. #art #tardis #doctorwho #sunmoon #celestialart #cats

Some days, I wake up and am ready to Take Care Of All the Things. Today...is not one of those days. So, here's a picture of 2 of my cats that makes me smile. #catlife #ithinkoneisbroken #funwithkittens #cats

And this why my house always looks like a disaster. #catlife #cats

Hanging the Moon. fineartamerica.com/featured/han... #art #moonart #dancerart #dance #alcoholinkart #alcoholink

Bathed in Moonlight. I love painting dancers. I love the fluidity and motion. This one is one of my favorites. fineartamerica.com/featured/bat... #art #dance #dancer #danceart #whimsyart #alcoholinkart #alcoholink #moonart

Beautiful Dreamer. Taking the kids to see The Nutcracker for the first time today. I love painting the movement of dancers. Alcohol ink and watercolors help to catch that beautiful fluidity and motion. fineartamerica.com/featured/bea... #art #whimsyart #fluidart #dancer #dancerart #alcoholinkart

This ~ 💯%

Majesty in Winter Moonlight. I don't have a lot of wintery paintings, mostly because I spent most of my life in Florida and our winter just meant it was comfortably cool enough to go outside. But, I really do love this one. fineartamerica.com/featured/maj... #art #winterart #alcoholinkart #deerart

Spa day before her big debut. #happythanksgiving #Thanksgiving #thankfultobehere #turkey

Poinsettia. Her wings remind me of poinsettia leaves. She wasn't originally intended as a christmas fairy, but I guess the inks have spoken! fineartamerica.com/featured/poi... #art #fairyart #christmasart #redandgreen #whimsyart #whimsy #angel

Seems like a good way to spend a Saturday. #cat #catlife #cats #kittens

Dancing in the Moonlight. Feeling a little free today and like it's time for a new adventure. fineartamerica.com/featured/dan... #art #whimsyart #danceart #moonart #alcoholinkart #alcoholink #dance

Pumpkin Fairy. I think boy fairies are horribly under-represented and I wanted to change that a bit with this piece. Plus, painting pumpkins with alcohol ink is super fun! fineartamerica.com/featured/pum... #art #whimsyart #fantasyart #pumpkin #fairyart #faeryart

Happy 20th Anniversary to the love of my life @damenfaltor.bsky.social

I painted this piece shortly after having to say goodbye to a kitty I'd had for 18 years. She brought us lots of laughter and love. She made her way into this painting as I was practicing for a larger piece. fineartamerica.com/featured/rem... #art #catart #whimsyart #whimsy

Love Peter Capaldi as The Doctor. One of my favorite scenes and oh so relevant.

Transition. This piece is for a very dear friend. The wheel weaves, my friend, and ages come and go. You are still so very missed. 11x14 on NARA paper with Ranger, kielty, marabu and pinata brass ink. fineartamerica.com/featured/tra...

A Touch of Autumn. 9x12 on Graphix white craft plastic. Ranger and Marabu inks. Spectrum Noir, Masters Touch markers. fineartamerica.com/featured/a-t...

The Golden Hour Through the Trees. A mixed media piece that started out with no plan. I just wanted to see where it was going to go. Alcohol ink and watercolor on NARA paper. fineartamerica.com/featured/the... #art #mixedmedia #alchoholink #watercolor #whimsy #whimsicalart #forestart #magic

New Beginnings. 9X6 watercolor on Arches paper with Daniel Smith and Arteza Watercolors and gold leaf. fineartamerica.com/featured/new... #watercolor #art #watercolorart #dragonflyart #whimsicalart #whimsy #dragonfly
