Tiffany Means

A male House Finch sits on a tree branch surrounded by tender, spring green leaves. Its red and gray plumage is illuminated by sunlight.

House Finches are abundant at my house this spring! This handsome fellow perched on a branch mere feet away from me, and was kind enough to let me get a few shots in. I love the bold energy of spring birds... #birds #spring #naturephotography

A blue and white cyanotype art print drying on towels. A pair of bamboo photo print tongs rests next to it.

I'm starting a new series of prints inspired by my deep love of our national parks and of retro signs/architecture. Here's the first print from a photo taken yesterday in Asheville, NC. #nps #BlueRidgeParkway #brp #wnc #mountains #appalachians #photography #cyanotype #blueart

A blue and white cyanotype print of three four leaf clovers. Green houseplants are visible behind it.

Watercolor painting of a heron

A very early heron and its interesting for me to see the difference between then and now. Has a nice simplicity. #watercolor #watercolorpainting #birds #birdart #watercolorbirds

Here's a schedule of the theme for each day. It's organized by @whitneyyoh.bsky.social. Everyone is welcome to join in. Be sure to stick to the theme of the day and use the hashtag #MakersmARTch.

Thanks! I'm late to the pARTy and was looking for details! 🙃

Love the message (says an American)

What the world needs now is love, sweet love... 💙🩵🤍

Kestrel for the win! 😍 (Stay warm!)

I've never seen a Pileated with such light plumage. Is this a juvenile? 🪶

Gorgeous! Also, is it strange that I love your sig placement lol? I always sign the back of my art because hiding things in plain sight is a struggle.

Good morning, good evening!

The humblest, most ordinary things nature has to offer are still so marvellous. Even weeds are wonderful.

Here is a dandelion photographed in #infrared (L) and in #UV (R).

Or one that just can't catch a weather break. 🌬️

A pair of nautical cyanotype prints laying on a white table. One shows a tin of sardines, the other, mackerels and anchovy fish.

I may have just sparked a mild obsession for nautical-themed cyanos.

A trail of white cirrocumulus clouds streams overhead across a deep blue sky.

A curtain of wispy cirrus clouds veil the sky, creating a thin solar halo. Mountains and bare trees are visible in the background.

Sharing my love of the sky today for Valentine's Day! Lovely cirrus and cirrocumulus clouds have greeted me at my front door all this week. Even spotted a solar halo on my morning walk today. #clouds #cirrus #sky #skyscape #weather #naturephotography #blueridgemountains #valentine

What a cool, creative idea! Love the varied textures.

This is #scicomm at its most effective. And although it is indeed a travesty that headlines like this (climate-related and otherwise) are merely met with yawns, your work is nonetheless essential!

the struggle

Flat lay of two blue and white cyanotype art prints drying on a towel. One design shows Easter lilies. The other shows an anthropomorphic Easter bunny riding a bicycle.

Please pardon my recent quiet...I've been hibernating and coming up with fresh designs for spring. 😶‍🌫️

I, too, am new to BlueSky (and post inconsistently 🙃), so I'm right there with you. But art challenges, photos, and hashtags seem to work well so far.

Does anyone else get the "New Year blues" come January? Trying to keep them at bay with some new cyano projects... #cyanotype #art #fish

A joyous Christmas, BlueSky fam! Wrapping up this year's #ArtAdventCalendar with a dogwood bloom cyanotype. Thanks to @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca for a brilliant job at organizing 👏🏽 #wildflower #macrophotography #cyanotype

Today, and every day...

Sadly, it's another sunny & mild Christmas for me as well. But your art is giving me much-needed snowy vibes.❄️

I second the #sciart feed! And thanks for putting me on to #JanuArty 😊

Love this for all the reasons. ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks, Daryll, for the invite. Yes, I'd love that!

Happy Christmas, friends! Here's a swan a'swimming to help get you in a festive mood. (It's actually a Ross' Goose I spotted last December... but close enough. 😉) #ArtAdventCalendar #birds #naturephotography
