Great brush for doing palm trees!😊☀️ #WorkInProgress

☀️SunshyneArt☀️@sunshyneart· 10d

WIP It's past the "rearrange phase", and now in the 'it's coming together beautifully and I'm starting to really love it phase", and it is the best feeling! 🤗 That is what I call artistic euphoria, and that high is what drives my compulsion to create! 🥳😊☀️ #WorkInProgress

Gray mama and baby elephant against a teal background with tall trees behind them. Work in progress tropical trees and flowers are in front of them on the left. Green hand dyed cheesecloth is propped up on the bottom as well as drawings of possible flowers to add.

☀️SunshyneArt☀️@sunshyneart· 10d

WIP Mama and baby are pretty much done. 🥰 Subtle texture through glazed layers and stencilling. I love using my Inktense water soluble pencil for shadowing. Easier to get a subtle wash, that is fixable with just water! #WorkInProgress #ElephantArt

A mama AND a baby elephant emerged! 🤗 Think I might do a wall of tropical flowers and trees on the left, that the two come upon as they leave the tall tree forest. 😁🌴🌺

I covered a not working for me painting on canvas with molding paste instead of just gesso. It's got a lovely silky surface that when super watered down high flow acrylic is applied, you get a watercolour effect. 🤗 I used a palette knife & didn't make it smooth, for a rustic look. ☀️ #WorkInProgress

I'm procrastinating on doing anything with my current WIP. So I'm doing a lot of just hanging out on the front porch with my little boss instead. lol 🥰

Doing mini pastel landscapes on my deck. Can't use acrylics outside because it's always breezy. Pastel makes dust, so doing it outside is perfect! Doing plein air on location with my art club on Tues. I've never done one looking at actual scenery before, so that will be interesting! 😜 #Pastel

Mini pastel landscape masked off with blue tape on a table next to pastels and tools.

Mini pastel made up landscape masked off with blue tape. Lavender coloured bushes are in the middle with a blue sky and puffy white clouds. A meadow is in the foreground with tiny multicoloured wildflowers. A few trees are in the distance.

"Blue Forest" alcohol inks on Yupo Sometimes I just like to do little abstracts. 😊☀️ #BlueTue #ColorADay #AbstractArt #ArtYear #AlcoholInks #BlueArt #Blue

Blue tree like abstract shapes done in alcohol inks.

☀️SunshyneArt☀️@sunshyneart· Jun 21

The imagery came about from just texturing with my 2nd layer of gesso, of all things! I saw the cliffs and some trees and built the world from there. Added a portal, of course, and that's me under the tree, having come through it! 😁 "Hanging Out In The 5th Dimension" acrylic and mixed media #ArtYear

A dreamy fantasy landscape features cliffs with floral vines on the right, green pointy hills on the left with three large trees in front of them, blue, magenta, and green. On the right, in front of the cliffs, are two smaller pointy green hills,with a magenta tree and a woman sitting beneath it(the artist) reading a book. There is a body of blue water in the middle and lighter green mountains in the distance, with small trees on their surfaces. A swirly aqua coloured portal is embedded in one. In the foreground there are wildflowers in magenta, lilac and white, with white stones along the bottom. The sky is light blue with subtle white puffy clouds, and a spaceship hovers in it.

☀️SunshyneArt☀️@sunshyneart· Jun 21

This one is purely needle felted. I used hand dyed locks for the sun and trees, and to enhance the hills. It is named "Eos", meaning "dawn", in Latin. ☀️🌞 #FibreArt #TextileArt #WoolArt #Felting #NeedleFelting #ArtYear #SunArt #LandscapeArt

Needle felted landscape features bright green fields in the foreground, with swirly bales in gold flanking a path that stretches into the distance. Multicoloured hills are in the middle with larger blue hills in the distance. Cylindrical green trees are in the middle and cylindrical bright pink tree are on each side. A large sun with rays radiating out from it, is in a blue sky.

☀️SunshyneArt☀️@sunshyneart· Jun 21

Been "painting" with wool lately. This one I started as a mostly wet felted piece, but then went in with a lot of needle felting because I wasn't happy with the original image. I named it "Elysium". 😊☀️ #FibreArt #TextileArt #ArtYear #Felting #Dreamscapes #GreekMythologyArt #WoolArt

Wet and needle felted landscape features lush green hills in the foreground, multicoloured hills in the middle, with fields of lavender on each side. Blue mountains are in the distance and the sky is various shades of orange and yellow with a swirly sun. There are large teardrop shaped trees in gold and green, and tall cylindrical shaped trees in pinks and blue. A stream runs through the fields with rocks along its banks. Two small cottages sit on the hills flanked by the trees.

☀️SunshyneArt☀️@sunshyneart· Jun 12

Been making felted pods and bowls lately. It’s a good stress reliever, and I love to play with colours! That magenta is fabulous! 😍I must use it more! I’m thinking of trying something bigger, like a cat pod. Even though I don’t have a cat. lol #FibreArt #TextileArt #Handmade #Felting #DecorativeArt

A blue felted bowl with a large swirl is to the left of a gold and turquoise felted bowl on the right. A hot pink and orange felted pod is in front. All sit on a multicoloured blanket.

☀️SunshyneArt☀️@sunshyneart· Jun 1

I have been painting, just haven't felt like posting much lately. 🤷‍♀️ I did get this beautiful new tattoo today(my 6th) in honour of my 60th birthday in a month. 🥳Should be all healed up by then. Getting them makes me feel ALIVE in my old age. I love having art on me! Might get a sci-fi one next.🛸🪐🤓

Got new ink last Thursday! I’m so addicted. lol Tigers have always been my favourite wild animal ever since I got to hold a baby one as a kid! 🥰Hibiscus is for my love of tropical places. I paint them a lot too! 🌺 I was going to go with tiger lilies, but I liked her sketch with these better.

Just finished this one. More flowers and whimsical birds.😊☀️ "Love Birds" acrylic and mixed media on cradle board 10x10 #Art #ArtYear #WhimsicalArt #BirdArt #FlowerArt

A bright green background with a cerulean blue sky is the backdrop for colourful whimsical flowers in pinks, yellows and turquoise. There is a stone wall in the foreground with small patterned magenta and gold round plants in front of it. There are magenta and gold patterned trees surrounding two birds sitting on a large branch together forming a heart. One is blue and green, while the other is magenta and gold. A swirly gold sun is in the sky.

☀️SunshyneArt☀️@sunshyneart· Mar 30

I've been feeling like painting flowers a lot lately to try and counteract all the doom and gloom! Plus, I'm so ready for Spring already! "Persephone's Garden" acrylic on cradle board 8x8 #art #FlowerArt #AcrylicPainting #ArtYear #HappyArt

Whimsical garden of brightly coloured flowers in magenta, peach, yellow and white, with green pinwheel flowers and green plants amongst them all, on a bright blue background. Two little peach and magenta birds sit on leaves near the top.

Been busy last week making these two little coin purses! 😁 It was so fun I'll definitely make more! Easily wet felted in a day, then drying overnight and attaching the hardware the next day with embroidery thread. ☀️ #FiberArt #TextileArt #Handmade #Felting #FunctionalArt

This is the handbag I made in my wet felting class this last Sunday! It turned out beautifully! 😍 I'm so proud of myself! 😁 I can't wait to make another, and maybe different shaped ones, and cute little coin purses. It shrunk a lot! It's like magic.🧙🏻‍♀️😊 #TextileArt #Wool #Handmade #FibreArt #Art

Made another cute little pod! 😊☀️ Embellished the opening with embroidery thread. Fun and relaxing things to make! I'm waiting on some beautiful yarn and other embellishments for my next one. I'm going to throw it all on and see what sticks! #textileart #fibreart #felting #wetfelting #art #woolart

Challenged myself to make a wet felted 3-D object. So I made a pod! It took about 5 hours, and was fun to do! Might embellish it, but maybe not. 😁☀️ #textileart #fibreart #softsculpture #felting #wetfelting #art #woolart
