The macaws are such beautiful and colorful birds. This bluebird of happiness, a Hyacinth Macaw, was eating his veggies when I snapped his picture. Added a little texture to highlight his beautiful plumage. HERE: https://hhphotography.pixels.com/featured/hyacinth-macaw-hh-photography-of-florida.html

It looks like it's time for me to do another #introduction since the husband @fahim and I are on a new instance that's just for us. He's been dabbling with various ones for the last month, but we think we're settled. This one is #akkoma, not #mastodon, and if you have technical questions, ask him.

I'm working on becoming an artist, hence all the artwork and tutorial posts. I mainly do digital on my iPad using Procreate, and at some point soon want to learn how to use Rebelle.

I cook just about everything, but less so as my #disabled self loses mobility. I've lived in a bunch of countries. I'm a hobbyist photographer. I'm a Canuck and I'm married to a Sri Lankan who I met over the Internet. And I've been on the Internet since before it was called the Internet.

I am equal parts weird, boring, tired, eclectic, and what the heck.

Hiya!

This is another Tatyworks tutorial. This time, featuring a digital watercolour painting. She gets the canvas effect with a canvas brush on the top layer.

This is another Tatyworks tutorial. This time, featuring digital acrylic painting. She gets the canvas effect with a canvas brush on the top layer.

I have a particular photo I want to use these techniques on - a sunset over the Pyrénées Mountains.

Cats have only recently become a favorite art subject of mine but it only makes sense as there's never been a time in my life that cats weren't part of my world. I think this kitty is perhaps serenading the moon - what do you think?

Sun Flower
The sun is backlighting this yellow zinnia. I took this picture laying down on the ground, looking up.

This is my own personal photo of the year 2022
After all the problems I had last week I never imagined I would still be alive to capture this rainbow. I deliberately made sure my shadow was in the image to give a sense of scale #rainbow #landscapephotography #Landscape #yorkshire #NorthYorkshire #northyorksmoors #photography #PhotoOfTheDay #photoof2022

2023-01-06 day 207 of doing art every day for a year (mostly - I took sick days off).

This is another Tatyworks tutorial. I'm really enjoying doing her tutorials. She uses interesting techniques and I learn a lot.

I went a bit off the rails with the flowers. 🤣 If this were my window, I would want a LOT more flowers, so I gave the painting what I would want. I don't think it was too overboard… 😀

Lower Antelope Canyon II
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But what do you do when you are speechless? As you walk down the stairs that descend into Lower Antelope Canyon, you can tell that you are entering a very special place. There was a certain spiritual kind of feeling that came over me that I can't explain.
The walls of this canyon are unbelievably beautiful. See full image here: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/lower-antelope-canyon-ii-bill-gallagher.html?newartwork=true #aYearForArt #BillGallagherPhotography #LowerAntelopeCanyonII

I've put pen to paper once again to write an article about Ke'e beach on Kauai. Perfect for thinking of something a bit warmer than our current winter conditions! You can find the article here: https://www.backyardimage.com/kee-beach-the-end-of-the-earth/ #AYearForArt #Kauai #sunset #beach

Nature's beauty never ceases to amaze me. There is beauty everywhere when we take the time to look. Pink represents unconditional love. It's here: https://pixels.com/featured/natures-beauty-renata-natale.html

January Joy - Day 5
"Yellow Sunflower on Black Background"

The sun is back here, yay! 🤗 (cross your fingers that she stays, it rained earlier). So I want to share a bit of that sunshine-y feeling with you all, sunflowers represent that to me. They are so bright and make you feel happy with their yellow petals 🙂
