Thank you!!!

A detail of a symmetrical pattern that was inspired by William Morris, it is mostly madder red and cream, gold-tan, with a bit of light warm green. The design's framework is thorny rose bushes intertwined, with clusters of off-white roses and small sprays of berries.

A zoomed-out view of the same design, so the viewer can see how it all flows.

Thank you!! 🥰

A detail of a symmetrical pattern, mostly a warm medium green with white roses and orange-yellow rose-hips. The thorny vines are elegantly curved and frame parts of the design. The artist is still trying to figure out the design.

Some progress on the current work in progress...

A detail of a symmetrical pattern, mostly a warm medium green with white roses and orange-yellow rose-hips. The thorny vines are elegantly curved and frame parts of the design. There are some sketch marks, as the artist is trying to figure out where to take the design. The design is heavily influenced by the wood-cuts of the arts and crafts movement.

Current work in progress...

A painting in warm tones of a woman's profile. She has red hair that goes to her shoulders, her skin is very pale, and she is wearing large golden earrings and a golden beaded necklace. Her dress is navy, with large sleeves that have a burgundy ribbon around them. She is holding a barn owl that is facing the viewer, her other hand is gently touching the back of its head. The background is a warm dark green, and there is an dark brown stone wall with a leafy fruiting plant behind her.

Il Barbagianni, by Valentine Cameron Prinsep, 1863

A Japanese woodblock print. It is mostly monochromatic gray and white. An owl with outspread wings is in the middle of the composition, it is perched on a crooked branch. Its eyes are yellow, and there is a little bit of a russet brown on the back of its neck. At the bottom left corner of the composition, there is a near-black splotch with a pale crescent moon.

That early sunset had me feeling like...

A festive beauty!

A detail of a folding fan. The background is a golden brown, and the design is of fluffy white flowers with yellow centers on long reddish brown leafy stalks. There is a black bat shape in the middle right of the flowers.

A detail of an etching. A naked older witch rides atop a skeletal beast. Under the beast there are winged and horned demon skeletons, as well as a fairly normal looking goat, and a man who has his butt facing us. The print has a lot of visual movement, and its forms look almost abstract.

Just me, going to work on Halloween. Totally normal-like.

'Il Stregozzo' by Agostino Veneziano, 1515, from the Met Collection.

You can see this print and others right now at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts in their 'Bold and Beautiful' exhibition.

A dark haired woman dressed in flowing golden yellow top and sheer skirt sits on an ornate box. She is looking at the viewer, and has a sense of content accomplishment on her face. There is a large gold bowl and hefty dagger in her lap. What looks like a leopard skin rug is at her feet, and the background is yellow gold fabric.

They have no use for your song
You're dead, you're dead, you're dead
You're dead and out of this world" -Norma Tanega

Painting - Salome, Henri Regnault, 1870, oil on canvas, from the Met Museum's collection.

An overcast day with a somewhat slender black-trunked maple in the left foreground its red leaves taking up much of the composition. Bits of the background are seen, with a line of pale gold in the middle, and dull gray greens at the bottom.

The beautiful red maple outside my studio window.

She looks like she just realized she's in a nightmare that others are watching.

The wolves look like they're grinning.

Or maybe a silk dress??? All eyes on me!

Halloween 🎃👻🐈‍⬛ !!!

This is an illustration in watercolor and colored pencil of three women who are painted watery green, one with flowing waves of black hair, floating amidst red trees. The women look alarmed. The trees have simple decorative designs on them. On the ground, there are three black wolves with bright white eyeshine all facing the viewer. They have open mouths.

It is!

it's wonderfully weird. Someone had silk (!) and said 'I'm gonna make eyeball sprigs!'

(Or someone made flowers and the colors just make them look like eyeballs....)

alternating sprigs of plants with what look like eyes growing from them. the background is a teal gray, the leaves are a darker gray-green, and each sprig has three stalks from them each bearing what looks like an eyeball. The eyeballs themselves have black pupils, yellow-rimmed green irises, whites, and pink or red surroundings.

Silk panel, possibly from France, 1700-1725, from the collection of the @artinstitutechi.bsky.social

A yellowed, torn, and creased piece of wallpaper. The design is in black silhouettes, with various bits of violence happening. For some odd reason, there is also a peacock. the label below the design reads " Wall Paper from Governor Gore House, Waltham, Massachusetts."

A fragment of the 'Devils Paper' (1820-1840) influenced by French printmaker Jacques Callot from the @historicnewengland.bsky.social wallpaper collection.

A scene of an interior, with a partly opened secret door. Mist and golden stars are spilling out of the dark space behind the door. The wall is paneled halfway up the wall in a light beige, with the top half being in a dark vined wallpaper in shades of blue-gray. There are light colored moths on the leaves. The wood plank floor is dark. There are two sconces (with mirrors and lit candles) on either side of the secret door.

A secret door.

Who lives here?

What's on the other side?

A detail of a pattern. The subject is a deer in a forested scene, with a cream background, sage green foliage, and tan deer. There are birds and a rabbit in the background.

This idyllic pattern is based off of 18th century landscape paintings, toile de jouy, and verdure tapestry.

A pattern of leafy vines with a dark background and small white moths fluttering around. This pattern is another colorway of the main post's patterns, only in a warm and slightly subdued purple.

I have a purple one too!

But I was worried that the main bulk of people would think it was a little weird ( I like weird)

Thank you! Green is one of my favorite colors, so I have to ask other people about things so I don't make everything green! 😂

A winding pattern of leafy vines set against a dark background. The general color is a blue gray. There are small white moths fluttering around the leaves.

I based this new wallpaper pattern off of antique tapestries and secret gardens.

A small rectangular painting of someone's eye looking back at the viewer. The eye is surrounded by forget-me-not in warm earthy colors. It is framed in what looks like brass and mounted on what looks like a nubbled dark brown leather.
