“I had that dream again. The one where I could have sworn I felt the wind as it shifted off the water. The sun began to warm the distant slopes and light the tops of nearby trees. I had that dream again, where I felt completely free.” "Remnants: Tranquility" #Watercolor, #gouache, #coffee #dragons

Working on a new surface pattern tonight and as much as there's trial and error to get the balance of spacing and colors right, I can't imagine outsourcing that to a computer. This is the process of creation! It's the fun part!

Anybody have any Canva alternatives that *don't* use AI? They don't have to be free.

Artist, show how you draw flowers!

Picking out color palettes is the same thing as drawing, right? 😇

I love my feed here. In a world where AI slop is hard to escape, it fills my soul to see all of you creating from your hearts. Doesn't matter how simple or complex the result. What does is that you all have a POV and something of yourself you want to share. It's beautiful.

Another August birthday brings another hand drawn card. As before, I'm keeping the card details private. But this is what I drew for the background. Their favorite color is green so, yanno. Monochrome seemed like a fun way to go. #Botanical #Leaves #Art #ProcreateArtist 🎨

I don't mean to brag but my iPad had a whole 100% charge tonight.

Every so often I try drawing in a different style to see what it's like. Sometimes I pick up a new technique that I love. Other times every atom of my being screams that what I'm creating is WRONG WRONG WRONG and won't stop until I do it my way. So, yanno. Learning process either way.

My aunt's birthday is today. This is only part of the card I made for her but the card has personal info. So just this as a preview. Her favorite colors are blue, yellow, and green so I hope she likes this and the result. #Botanical #Flowers #FloralArt #Art #ProcreateArtist 🎨

It's very hard to be creative right now

I lived it: my iPad was on zero battery and the charging cord had been chewed through. The horror.... the horror.

I love the argument that those of us who don't like AI just don't understand it. No, I understand it fine. Amazingly I don't feel a need to outsource my brain to an environment destroying plagiarism machine that is as useless as a calculator that can't do math.

One thing I wonder about the impact of genAI is on current art. Because if I'm buying stock photos and the like to use I tend to search by date for things a few years old to make sure I'm not wading through AI slop. But I realize that means legit current photography's being left out. Not great.

It's my dad's birthday today so I made him a little something. I asked him to give me a color palette to work with and this is what I turned it into. Hopefully he likes it! #Botanical #Flowers #FloralArt #Art #ProcreateArtist 🎨

Continuing drawing exercises with a yellow jasmine flower. I used to love coming across these in the Garden District. #Botanical #Flowers #FloralArt #Art #ProcreateArtist 🎨

Life's been a bit much but I'm trying to get the creative juices flowing again. Have a plumeria for a hot summer day. #Botanical #Flowers #FloralArt #Art #ProcreateArtist 🎨

Just a little something for my most favorite dad in the whole world. #FathersDay #Art #ProcreateArtist 🎨

Work in progress for my August show.

A phone wallpaper inspired by the incredible song and video Bottle Rocket Astronaut by Bug Hunter and brought to life by DeepBlueInk A reminder that sometimes in life we're not shooting for the stars, we're just aiming for that tree. #Disability #ChronicIllness #Art🎨

Continuing art practice, this time with a cheerful yellow cosmos flower. Because sometimes you just need a little cheer. #Botanical #Flowers #FloralArt #Art #ProcreateArtist 🎨

Getting back into the swing of things with some art practice. Here's a pink anemone style flower for funsies. #Botanical #Flowers #FloralArt #Art #ProcreateArtist 🎨

Not gonna lie: wrapping presents in tissue paper and gift bags that I designed is pretty dang cool.

Last of the 12 days of drawings with Gia Graham. I'm glad I did it. It was a fun exercise in going out of my comfort zone, trying new things, and seeing how my fellow artists tackled the same sketch. Definitely worthwhile and fun. #ArtAdventCalendar #Christmas #Art #ProcreateArtist 🎨

One of the best events on Bluesky. I've seen so many new art and artists I wouldn't have otherwise, and in a variety of mediums as well. Props to Jay and everyone who participated for making it happen.

This piece was in our main library in 2015 for a couple of months & a woman told me she would stop by on her lunch break & just sit & look at it almost daily because it gave her some peace. Few better compliments. Shore 55×40 140×101cm Oil on Canvas 2015 #ArtAdventCalendar

12 days of drawings with Gia Graham continues. I can't believe we're almost done. These have been so fun to do. Her sketch, my style. #ArtAdventCalendar #Christmas #Santa #Art #ProcreateArtist 🎨

12 days of drawings with Gia Graham continues, using her sketch as a base. This one was fun. I've never played around with glass in a picture before, so that was interesting to try. #ArtAdventCalendar #SnowGlobe #Christmas #Art #ProcreateArtist 🎨
