Samuel Palmer's 'Oak Tree and Beech, Lullingstone Park,' (1828) is a world you can peer into. You can put a magnifying glass to the bark of the ancient oak and pick out its minutiae.

I took a pic last week of a somewhat similar flower, also with a backlit center

Two sheets of watercolour paper, with different stripes of colour. Exercises made in 2023 (on the left) and 2025 (on the right)

Going through @jennygeeberry.bsky.social’s Watercolor-Jumpstart series for the second time. First time was in 2023, already several years after she posted that playlist on YouTube

Choosing my colours was, again, very difficult, but it is such an essential process!

Quite a dreamy and fantastically designed and painted piece! I’m very curious about some of those white marks (or resists?)

I love the way watercolour can take on texture and will flow across the page

Graphite pencil study of the character 'Sister Ruth' from the 1947 film Black Narcissus. A woman in a nun's outfit looks beyond the viewer with a haunted look in her eyes, she has a very slight smile on her face.

Haven’t been on IG in quite a while. For super small accounts (like mine was), the engagement was almost non-existent, unfortunately.

How do you feel about Cara?

I didn’t shared the final drawings of my sketchbook here because frankly I lost my faith on Bluesky, but anyways here they are

Your drawings make me want to draw even more. I have lost faith in social media at large, but I find solace in the fact that Bluesky and Cara aren’t owned by meta

If you don’t mind me asking, what is it you dislike so much about Bluesky?

An oil painting of a rabbit near an oversized, dripping moon I continue to find rabbits hilarious to paint - angry rabbits, irritated rabbits, rabbit bad guys and more. Because rabbits have very little expression in the real world (some leg thumps to express their boundaries), it seems they should get the chance to express themselves in the paint. 😁🐇

I created a watercolour animation last year. Unfortunately, I cannot upload the animation itself, but here are 4 out of the 84 little paintings I made

This whole project showed me I need to learn more about animation, as the result is not nearly as clean as each individual painting was
