Wild mushrooms around a decaying wood bird house

Stepped out to pick some rosemary for dinner today and spotted this sweet gathering of wild mushrooms. #mushrooms #blueskymushrooms #wetwednesday #fungusfriends

Stunning! May I use as a reference for a drawing and painting? With reference photo credit to you?

Photo. Painted papers lying on a desk. At the back of the desk is a row of coloured ink bottles. The paper in the foreground has mottled white paint and splashy dribbles of red paint over the white.

Alternative job title 'paint dribbler'
I oven use leftover paint to colour small pieces of paper to use in collage work. Sometimes, I enjoy adding more visual interest with spatters and dribbles.

Undaunted: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Courage is Contagious—and Not Optional

Each week, The Contrarian selects an "Undaunted" individual working to defend democracy

This week's spotlight: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

AOC speaks to Americans as responsible, engaged citizens. She lays out the stakes clearly & empowers ordinary people to courageously fight for democracy.

I'm Mar🐫 & I approve this message. 👍

#FebruArty day 28: pear

My very first handbuilt piece, from a lesson. This mug is glazed in part with a bright green glaze called "pear" so that's the connection.

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
✅ Spend your money at small businesses, especially those owned by underrepresented entrepreneurs
✅ Share this message with your networks—word of mouth is powerful
✅ Stand together in financial solidarity to create real economic change

Watercolor and ink painting that has 13 circles of varying size with flowers inside them. The background has neurographic lines.

I don't have a pear themed painting for this last day of #FebruArty, but it looks like there's a pear shape somewhere in the neurographic background of this piece.

13 mini floral paintings combined into one piece 😁

Relaxing Mini Abstract Watercolor & Doodles YouTube video by DeliberatelyCreative “Stephanie Bergeron”

Are you looking for a bit of Zen? I just dropped a new relaxing video- watercolor, doodles and lo-fi music no talking, just peaceful creating. It would be awesome to see you on my channel if you leave a comment! youtu.be/31Ol1lX54TY?...

Hand holding 3 small cards with words and doodles on them. Card 1- Release, with a doodle of a branch with flowers and leaves and a butterfly flying above. Card 2 ink and watercolor doodle of a single forget me not flower. Card 3 Balance with a doodle of 4 circles filled with different patterns all balanced with tiny swirl like supports.

Whoohoo! I need a creative project that is small, that I can do anywhere.

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Black and white pen and ink doodle flowers in a curving line from top to bottom

I have been feeling out of sorts lately- doodles in just one ink color give me joy.
None of my coloring books in Amazon have sold this month. I think i need to figure out a different way to sell them. Maybe as 10 page coloring packs? #penandink #doodles #art #BlueSkyArtShow #FebruArty #monochrome

Alright, ya'll. Instead of sending the manager a list of 5 things we did each day, let's share #5GOODThings. There's a feed for it and everything; imagine browsing a feed of all good things. Big Props to @karitrescott.bsky.social for making this a real thing for all of us!

A watercolor painting of two deer fawns looking up at a low hanging tree branch

A watercolor done by one of our residents at the memory care facility where I work. He said he was inspired to paint this by one of the photos of the deer I showed to him. I can't begin to describe how priceless this is to me.🥹🦌🦌😊

A pair of fox kits outside of a metal grain bin that they are living beneath. One is lying down and looking towards the viewer, the other is sitting and looking off in a slightly different direction.

It's nice when they cooperate and give you a quality pose. We're only a couple of months away from the time of year that these adorable kits start to emerge from their dens. Here's hoping I'm able to find some again this Spring. #wildlife #foxes

Crom, blue tabby Maine Coon kitten, perches from the top of a cat tree surveying his domain.

"Their chief is Crom. He dwells on a great mountain. What use to call on him? Little he cares if men live or die. Better to be silent than to call his attention to you; he will send you dooms, not fortune! (Continue in thread)

A tight group of red and yellow striped fish swimming over a coral and sea anemone formation.

Good Morning #FishyFeb and #FebruArty ! I appreciate ya'll joining us one final time this month. 💖

Here's a #school of Squirrelfish for you! This is watercolor with some posca additions. Squirrelfish stay in tight groups at night and are named for the clicking noise they make!

Soft pastel art of a dark pink or magenta azalea blossom on a dark background with two green leaves on the right.

#FebruArty #magenta Here's a vivid azalea blossom created in soft pastels. It won't be long now until these shrubs are flowering again where I live. The sight of them in full bloom really does say 'Spring' to me. Links to my work are in my profile. #TraditionalArt #PastelArt #flowers #art
