Well it certainly isn't a professional level decorating job (I can, I'm trained, but why bother, it's just for me), but the taste is 100%. My chocolate cake recipe with fudge icing and a spiced cherry filling. And I'm giving a piece to one person, and the rest is for me so there nyah.
Progress on the bluebird, as a treat for you. Watercolor on 300lb soft press, approx 127x178mm (5x7 inches) #art #painting #watercolor
Chickadee is done, waiting to go to the printer. Watercolor on soft press paper, approx 5x7 inches. #art #painting #watercolor
Timeline cleanse! Work in progress...miniature watercolor on 300lb soft press. US penny coin for scale. #art #painting #watercolor #miniature
It's definitely time for summer themed work! Underpainting in watercolor is pretty much the definition of color theory. #art #inprogress #watercolor #watercolour #painting
It is so hot out, the bears do not give one solitary fuck. This motherfucker right here about about 4m from the slider door.
It was so hot in the gallery only 4 people came in all day. I felt like a melting wax candle, and kinda looked like one, it took alllllll the curl out of my hair. LOL
Doing my volunteer shift in the gallery...making a brutally hot day (by New England standards) better by dipping into my hoarded stash of imported soda.
Squinty McGee reporting in. Absolutely horrid picture (it was impossibly bright!), but it does highlight the new dye...I just could not stand looking so goddamn old with all that white and gray.
There's always the Deer Isle Suspension Bridge in Deer Isle, ME. Yes, we went over (and back) on this today. No, I probably won't do it again.
Posting on main before they go to the gallery; the sunflower giclee prints are finally matted!
Lovely surprise this morning, my poppies started blooming! I usually miss them every year because they always manged to bloom during my vacation. These are also supposed to be dwarf poppies, but I think they missed the memo, these blooms are as big as my face!
One from the archives tonight, just kinda gassed today and not up to snuff.
The new theme Gallery is up: Florals and Ferns. If you happen to come through Peterborough NH, stop by the Nlue Fern Gallery and shop an amazing selecting of our art! (In this photo, my featured work: Sunflower, Magnolia, and Morning Glories) #art #artist #artgallery
Knew it was thirstday, remembered to snap a selfie before my shift today.
Not going to be done any time soon, but you gotta start somewhere, this time on the porch... with @reasonabledoubt.bsky.social and @anywhoodles.bsky.social
Better late than never, I guess. Got mah hairs cut the other day.
It's still 92 outside, almost 80 inside, but it's May so I'm not caving on turning on the AC. So, Old Pebbles Flintstone it is, LOL
I think I need a haircut...I'm just not sure what to do with it.
New miniature watercolor painting just completed. Obviously I still have to frame it. #art #artist #watercolour #watercolor #watercolorpainting #painting #miniatures #miniaturepainting
Better late than never! It's not the best shot of me, but *shrug*
