Hmmm I’m going to move across to a bigger instance I think, so I can see more artists on the Local timeline. Look for me at @[email protected] shortly!
I’ll be combining two hashtags, #JanuaryJoy, for photos/artwork of flowers and #ArtJanuaryCalendar, for sharing of artwork this month. I used to be very crafty and creative, so I’ll post some older work, while trying to create new, in the hopes of re-igniting my creativity. From a few years ago, some #AlteredRolodexCards that feature flowers in the design.

For Day2 #ArtJanuaryCalendar, an oil on canvas I painted for my brother probably 10 years ago that I named, "Incoming". #Artist #ArtistsOnMastodon #MastoArt #birds #hunting #mallards

Solange wie unser Baum noch steht, zeichne ich dieses Mal den Baumbehang.
Beginnen wir mit dem Klassiker.

#HourADay #dailyartchallenge #MastoArt #watercolour #watercolour #painting This is my painting for today. I used my number 18 brush and just a few colors: Ultramarine Blue, Phthalo Blue GS, Quin Gold, Burnt Sienna, and Payne’s Grey.

My first pot of 2023! I'm setting the intention for a very creative year for myself!

I want to thank all you kind people here on #Mastodon who I've had conversations with, and those who've encouraged me with their kind comments. Being in a very rural area, genuine human interaction is meaningful to me.

You don't get that in other places.

Here is a fun little #painting I did called, The Friends I Made. It’s an illustration of the friends I made during the pandemic.

My father-in-law gave me a “just because” present today that he’s been working on for a year: a reading blanket! I’m in tears. He’s the best.
Time to settle in with some NK Jemisin.
