Bee Does Things

Photograph of a painting on a stand in a room. The painting is of a city with a woman's face below; glossy tears coming from her eyes.

Walking past my craft room and I see her crying, just the way I had hoped she would look in the end.
20x24, recycled canvas, hand-mixed acrylic.
Very glad to have @tinkertopia.bsky.social for some supplies.

A city above with a woman's face below. Her face is surrounded by black leaching into the earth from the city, drowning out her natural hair. She has tears streaming down her face as the stares back at the viewer.

Corporations and capitalism have driven us to defile our Earth. Humanity has leached death into the soil that has kept us alive all this time and once it is dead, so are we.

Painting of the form of a woman floating in the sea. She's facing right, her arms are stretched up in front of her, and her feet are tethered below. She's covered in corals and sponges of a variety of colors, shapes, and textures. Behind her and to the left is a giant grouper and around her legs is a school of Atlantic Spadefish.

"Floating Life"
8x10 acrylic and watercolor on reused paper. The oceans are being destroyed by humanity and the greed of capitalism. I just want to become the home of life, giving my body to sustain nature.

Using AI isn't creating.
It's using words to butcher the art of others for your own gain.

A painting. There's a tree backed by a blue and pink sky with stars. The tree trunk meets the ground which is the top of a woman's head. The tree roots wind down like her hair around her face. Her eyes are closed and she is wearing a blue medallion with a gold pentagram.
