Another of my fluid abstractions. 'Awestruck.' Think I should just call them my restlessness series since i only draw them when I'm stuck wanting to do 5 things at once and not being able to prioritize. #mastoart #abstract #illustration
I went to two exhibits this week; one by Sidne Teske, and another by Phyllis Shafer; my second visit before the show closes tomorrow. So fortunate to have opportunities to see amazing artwork in person. Always make me want to hurry home and get to work in my studio. Artwork is hard work.
I told a friend that her skin looked fabulous. She said “thanks, I grew it myself.“ This is exactly the kind of person I strive diligently to keep around me.
It’s a beautiful daily routine tiptoeing down to the #pond to supplement the native frog #tadpoles’ diet in the early mornings.
Luckily, the everyday #harvest of fresh #greens for lunch includes their favorite (baby spinach). Many other greens are growing, but regular hand picking allows spells for regrowth, and we only plant what will actually grow in this environment. Some are volunteers. Today’s harvest in midsummer coastal #Australia includes:
Spinach, silver beet, kale, rocket, cress, sorrel, Asian greens, spring onion, basil, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, coriander, mint, nasturtium, leek, green beans, tomato, capsicum, baby eggplant, radish, edible flowers, together with a handful of wild greens grown mostly to attract beneficial insects with their flowers.
Orchard #Swallowtail caterpillars have appeared on the citrus, to increase the neighborhood butterfly population.

This is a dabble in making faux kraft-tone prints! I had a sketch of Spock that I wanted to enhance with this brush kit, and with the layer settings I can replicate the vintage process for prints as well. Let me know what you think, as I foresee some wonderful artwork in this style coming soon!

My wife decided to learn #Python and, with absolute deadpan seriousness, refers to curly brackets exclusively as "squirrelly brackets".
Not only do I not correct her, I have now adopted this term as canonical.
