My Pastel Painting “Morning Glow” on UArt sanded paper. A little Wisconsin morning mist and the early bird. #art #birdart #artistsonbluesky #pastelart

Well I was really curious on exactly how pastel would take to canvas magnets, and then the changes when sprayed with fixative and satin finish. It does melt. Happy little accidents… It gives off that inbetween look. What’s your thoughts? #artfun #flowers #sakura #blueskyart #pastel

Tux has discovered dandelions. This may have been a mistake. #pastelart #blueskyart #art #catsofbluesky

Started working in Micron ink for a few juried shows recently—and I didn’t expect to enjoy it this much. “Their Place in the Sun” 11x14 ink drawing #BirdArt #InkDrawing #LineArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #ArtistsOnBluesky #ArtShare

Tux insists it was an accident. Cinder insists on legal representation. I’m Mike—I just document the chaos at Cat House Capers™. More of their chaos: MikeKumleyArt.com #Art #CatsOfBluesky

“Between the Thicket” my latest Micron Ink Pen Art I did for a local Juried Show. I love the structure with micron pens and the chaos. Never realized how much fun they are to make. #Blueskyart #inkart #drawing #micronpen #landscapeart #texasart #riverdrawing #woodlandbasin #garlandtexas

#Blueskyart helpers. When you’re just too cute and you know it. Picture it, a normal Tuesday afternoon and I discover a black ink puddle on the floor from the printer behind the file cabinet. The house is my blank canvas I must leave my paw covered artistic mark 🫟🎨🖼️🐾🐾🐾🐾. Everywhere.. #inkart

I love clouds and sky’s are a favorite place to start with my pastels. Here’s was a beginning to a country scene I did. Remember with your art and dreams, sky’s the limit. #landscapeart #clouds #pastelart #blueskyart #dreams #countrylife #bigblueskies #happyclouds
