A work-in-progress oil painting of stylized trees blowing in the wind. The trees have rounded, pink and magenta canopies with thin trunks. The sky is painted in soft blue and lavender streaks that lean diagonally, suggesting movement. The ground is textured with brown and green brushstrokes.

An expressive acrylic painting of a large flower with a dark, textured center. The petals are thickly layered with bright colours: yellows, oranges, pinks, and whites, applied with visible palette knife strokes. The background is a mottled green with splashes of yellow. The overall style is rough, bold, and abstract

A whacky flower painting I impulsively made late last night, lots of hitting the canvas with my palette knife #art #artistsofbluesky #artist #painting #floralart #abstractexpressionism #acrylicpainting #impastopainting

Small acrylic painting of a monster-like figure with a glowing red camera eye in the center, held by hand. Thick brush strokes create a tense mood.

The Fear of Being Photographed

I tried to paint that feeling of wanting to be seen, but also wanting to hide at the same time. Basically: my anxiety about sharing art.

Experimenting, somewhere between fire and rainfall. I tried to paint the feeling of holding chaos and calm at the same time. Still experimenting, still learning.
