Picked up frames today so I can do product listings for photos on my website. Really excited to see everything come together. 🥰 #naturephotographer #naturephotography #fineartphotography

A pen and ink drawing of a crow, beak open in mid-caww

Old sketchbook corvid. I drew this back in 2017, when I took up drawing again after many years.

Thank you!

Abstract seated nude of a woman's body in watercolor. Lines draw attention to breasts, the suggestion of a curved back and bent head, a dark red center where the womb might be, all portrayed in reds and pinks on a white background with spatters throughout creating texture.

Abstract #nude. I painted this while reflecting on women's blood, and the way it permeates so many facets of life and society (whether it be menstruation, abortion, maternal deaths, femicide, or birth) and yet we struggle to talk about it openly.

A watercolor painting of a purple finch sits on a messy desk surrounded by brushes, jars of water, and crumpled paper towels stained with paint. The painting is in a loose, abstract style in shades of bright pink and purple.

Purple finch. Day 2, Painting #4. I am challenging myself to complete 20 watercolor birds over the next 2 weeks and list the 12 best as prints on my website. #watercolor #art #artist #birds #purplefinch

An impressionistic watercolor painting of a cardinal in shades of red, gray, and yellow. His crest and the top line of his beak are in sharp focus but the rest of his form fades in and out in bright splashes of color.

Tried painting cardinals today. I think this one is the most successful, but we'll see what I think tomorrow. 🤔😂 #art #watercolorpainting #cardinal #redbird #birds

A 2.5×3.5 inch abstract acrylic painting in shades of pink is shown in the artist's hand at her desk. Larger abstract paintings are visible in the background on the edge of a white desk. The painting was made by pressing the canvas onto paint sptead on the artist's body, and the paint shows mixing colors and interesting textures reminiscent of peony petals and clouds at sunset.

Adding itty bitty (titty) abstract acrylic paintings to the miniatures collection! Love how they turned out. #abstract #art #originalpainting

A simple black photo frame contains a white and black mat around a small watercolor painting of a western bluebird in vibrant shades of blue. The picture frame stands on a white desk with acrylic paint tubes in blue and a watercolor mixing palette in the background.

Found the perfect frame for photographing my mini originals today!

I love this idea so much!!! Definitely could use a break from the doomscrolling 😅

Three tiny paintings of goldfinches in bright yellow and blue are arranged on a desk beside brushes, pens, and other watercolor supplies.

A watercolor goldfinch facing the right of the painting. Black wings and cap are sprinkled with yellow drops and the background is a blend of blues, yellows and greens. His posture is proud, as though surveying something below.

A goldfinch perches on the suggestion of a branch, glancing right and showing his vibrant yellow chest to the viewer. The background swirls with shades of blue and dabbles of yellow.

A goldfinch angles down across a tiny painting in watercolor, displaying his back and folded black wings to the viewer. The background is bright patches of blue and yellow mellowing into greens and speckles of all the colors throughout.

Goldfinches from today's painting session.

A miniature painting in watercolor of a sitting cat. The cat is in shades of pink on a white background edged with pink and grey. The painting is arranged next to a fine tip brush and a watercolor palette.

Experimenting with some watercolor cats. #watercolor #art #watercolorpainting #cat

Thank you 🥰

A loose, vibrant blue watercolor of a mountain bluebird. The painting measures 2.5 × 3.5 inches and is photographed on a white, paint splattered table next to a watercolor palette.

Mountain Bluebird. Miniature #009.

A tiny watercolor painting inspired by goldenrod. Yellow plumes against a bacground of blue and green with splatters creating movement and tying the painting together.

Miniature original of goldenrod. Tiny watercolor paintings are my new favorite thing. #art #wildflowers #watercolor #painting

Found Appalachian milkwort (Senega curtissii) on my walk this morning. Excited to paint it next. I also took some photos with my DSLR, so there may be prints in the near future! #nature #wildflowers #Appalachia

Blue, yellow, and white abstract art. Made with body printing, the textures in the paint mimic water, feathers, and branching corals.

My goal over the next month is listing my first prints on my website, starting with open edition prints. It's taking longer than I hoped but I'm determined to get there. #artist #artprintsforsale #abstractart

Watercolor print of an upright fern frond in shades of green on a green and yellow background.

Another of my #fern series. This one is on a smaller scale and a different paper than I usually use. Still came out with a lot of expression. #watercolor #art #womanartist #nature #natureart

No Place for Self-Pity, No Room for Fear: Toni Morrison on the Artist’s Task in Troubled Times “There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”

"I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge — even wisdom. Like art."
—Toni Morrison

Watercolor painting in blue, yellow and green. An abstract snail is in the bottom left and rounded shapes and splatters reminiscent of mountains or hills are arranged around the edges of the paper.

'Snail's Pace' February 2025.

Abstract watercolor painting in shades of purple. The shapes are based on violet flowers and the artist uses several techniques of wet on dry, wet on wet, splatters, and lifting off to add depth and texture to the painting.

Spring violets in abstract. Today's #januarty prompt is #monochrome and I was in a purple mood. #abstract #watercolor #fineart #art #artyear

Cozy games for the win! What's your favorite? Therapist suggested I put an ice pack on the back of my neck to bring myself down from anxiety/panic attacks. Don't know why it works, but it does.

A view of the bottom of DeSoto Falls in Fort Payne, Alabama in winter. The sky is misty and the rocky cliffs are layered in shades of gray. At the base of the falls, the water is a startling shade of blue against all of winter's gray. In the foreground, scrubby brush frames the front of the pool in textural gray and tan.

The water was so deep that it was blue-green even though everything else was winter gray. DeSoto Falls in Alabama. #waterfall #mist #trees #cliffs #appalachia #lookoutmountain

Abstract painting with diagonal movement in shades of cream, yellow, olive green, and gray. The lower left of the canvas is mostly green with wild scratch marks through to white beneath, and inyeresting textures and print marks taper into the upper right across the cream background.

Watercolor painting of Yonah Mountain in blues and greens next to an open watercolor palette. They are on top of a grey linen sheet.

Normally I like working alla prima, but I'm craving texture and glazing for this piece, so this is just the first layer. Yonah Mountain from Smithgall Woods. #watercolor #art #ArtYear #mountains #northGA

This morning's work. 'Pivotal Explorations in Rose and Gold' January 2025. I didn't meet my self-imposed deadline of having my shop up and running by today, but I feel really good about the consistency of my work since the beginning of December. #artyear #art #watercolor

Thank you!

Here's more info on the BlueSkyArtShow started by @churchstreetimages.com if anyone else would like to join!

Hello! I'm Bonnie, an #artist creating original + limited ed. watercolors, acrylics on canvas, and photography. My work is inspired by the intersection of the divine feminine and the natural world. When you view my #art I hope you share the peace and intimacy that inspired it.

Another for my abstract blue ridge series. My boyfriend teases me a little for being more hillbilly than highlander (he grew up in Western NC), but ridge and valley #Appalachia has charms of its own. #BlueSkyArtShow #Layers #Abstract #Art #ArtYear #watercolor

Beautiful! They have an account over on Instagram. Chiyopurrs. www.instagram.com/p/DEjBEymxBi...
