Bouquet of purple pokeweed berries on hot pink stems

Poke berry bouquet from a volunteer garden plant, the humble pokeweed, aka Phytolacca Americana.

Don’t “poke” the bear!

Pink and orange abstract doodle.

A pink #doodle!

I would so hang this on my wall!

How we humans never change.

Just bought this print, the second print I’ve bought a BlueSky artist, from you on Etsy. Makes me happy!

Wonderful!

😘

That’s lovely, Ben, thank you!

Or call it what it really is: Alligator Auschwitz

Hand drawn mandala doodle in shades of blue.

It had to be #blue 🎶

First attempt at a hand drawn #mandala doodle. Pleased with all the little imperfections.

And a handy metaphor as well.

Bright summers flowers doodled in ink and gel pens including orange and yellow sunflower, tiger lily and blanket flower with blue droplets and background.

In #gratitude for #summer flowers

I like your style, kid.

Every single one of them is amazing.

Two female figures inspired by shadow work are doodled in colored markers. A wise older self wraps a younger self in a purple cloak covered in symbols of female strength and resilience against the backdrop of an orange moon.

#doodle drawn in #sketchbook with #ink and #coloredmarkers, inspired by #ShadowWork. A much older and wiser self wraps an innocent younger self in a purple cloak of love and protection, surrounded by symbols of growth and resilience.

Couldn’t resist, had to order one!

Nice mando solo! Brought back a youthful memory of lying on a boat on Lake Arrowhead on a hot summer night, hearing enchanting mandolin music for the first time.

A little kid down the street has set out a cardboard box of clumsily painted rocks, right next to the sidewalk, with a hand lettered “Take a rock, Leave a rock” sign. 😎

Feather-like swirls of color doodled with marking pens, ranging from blue to green to yellow to orange.

Playing with colored marking pens lately for more #vibrant #doodles.

Always Crashing in the Same Car

Nothing better than fresh green beans, from plant to the pot!

That’s a stunner!

With datura.

What a beauty!

Stunning!

My “colorblind” husband chose the perfectly coordinated shades of green for this ink doodle of abstract shapes radiating out from a central core.

My husband may be red/green #colorblind, but he somehow has a comprehensive understanding of color. I asked him to choose the colored markers to fill in my #ink #doodle and he picked these shades of #green.
(Our first collaboration!)

Thank you as always for your kindness, Ben. Turns out you can’t burn down a creek. It was always the best part of living there.

Your Moment of Zen with Smiley Creek tumbling over lava cap. We cleared the creek yesterday to prep the property for sale. #Paradise continues to recover from the #CampFire, evidenced by the regrowth of the #WaterMaples. I’ll miss the musical sounds of the #creek.
