I am also considering pulling the plug on #fiveminfri as there has not been a post in months and before that growth began to slow. Everything goes through ups and downs, but it's a decent amount of time without participation.

#FiveMinFri #WiP working on the pattern abstract challenge with oil and chalk pastels. Noticed my fingers looked like I was eating Cheetos 😀.
#FiveMinFri I’m playing around with oil and chalk pastels. I like the effect of combining them.

Tiny brown lizard on a black iron trellis behind a jasmine vine in a cement planter.
Closer shot of brown lizard showing golden markings along his back and sides.
Close-up of the same lizard's head and feet with long toes. He has his head cocked to one side and he is looking at the camera with one eye. His skin is beautifully patterned with gold and brown.
Went out to work in the garden and ended up having a super fun photo shoot/game of hide and seek with this little guy (pics do not convey how teeny-tiny he is). Expect to see more of this beautiful little man as I finish editing.

Present Opossums (2025) work-in-progress shot of needle felted mini-sculpture opossum ornaments by Lynn Wartski. Grey and white opossum holiday ornamentrs on work pad, each hold a colorful package.
These #opossum #ornaments take a bit longer than 5 minutes (2+hours each?), but for me they are a #quickproject.

Photo of Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre at night, with a streak of red light from a passing car's brake lights.
For #FiveMinFri I happened by a local theatre that was looking particularly photogenic at night, but decided to spice it up with a long exposure of a passing car.

This image references the Ukrainian flag with a blue color field on top and yellow on bottom. The background is from a photograph I took of a sunflower field on a clear day. The sky has some additional texture from some traditional folk designs that are symbolic to Ukraine's culture. Block letters spell out "Stand with Ukraine" and are colored blue and yellow to fit with the colors of the flag.
Saying it again. #FiveMinFri #photography #graphicdesign #sunflowers #flag #horizon #Ukraine
Black and white photo of a pen doodle work-in-progress. The drawing is half-finished, with various shapes on the page waiting to be coloured in. A black Paper Mate Flair pen sits on the page
Good day, dear Susan! Another lovely hot day here, and another doodle nearing completion for the art show tomorrow #FiveMinFri. Please can I have a cappuccino today. It probably won’t help steady my hand, but it will make the finalisation all the more relaxing 😎

photo of my in blue painting another rider's arm with swirly blue river-esque art, bikers in the background at Laurelhurst Park lots of fish clip art added
I had a blast face & body painting river & fish themes at the Salmon Life Cycle ride, in honor & service of protecting our rivers.
It was neat to be forced to trust the process with quick art, while building community 💙 🩵

#FiveMinFri I had #5 of 39 radiation treatments today. Today's music was #JoeCocker's version of #WithALittleHelpFromMyFriends (audio-only) I #Love it. Here is the Woodstock video, full of Joe's air guitar, air piano and conducting the band. #MusicSky #BlueEyedSoul I had to suppress my head-banging.
Bee a star! And bee free is the motto of this cute picture of an adorable, fluffy Buff-tailed Bumblebee on a Blue Globe-thistle. A little star flower is blooming directly on the underside of the bumblebee’s fluffy butt, so it looks like it’s sitting on a star. The bumble bee has a thin egg yolk colored upper head stripe, the rest of the head is dark brown. Then there’s another egg yolk yellow stripe on its body, followed by a chocolate brown stripe and the butt is white. The wings are up, so the bumblebee is ready for takeoff anytime, free to buzz around. In the blurry background there are shades of fresh green leaves of the plants and flowers around.
Bee a star! 🐝

Photo of a bicycle in motion, with intentional blur.
For #FiveMinFri, an experiment of photos capturing motion blur of bicycling in the park. It was a sunny day so I used a low ISO and small aperture so I could use the slower shutter of 1/8th of a second, 1/15th, and 1/50th.
