I painted a lemon. Which, by the way, are delicious. #oilpainting #lemon #art

A small study in oil paint of a lemon with light behind it, casting shadows to the sides. Human made art. Not perfect, but real.

Forget not the cat. Oil paint on canvas #oilpainting #cat #stilllife #naturemorte #painting #food

A poor neglected kitty looks in through the window at a feast of roast chicken, rolls, fruit and cinnamon rolls. An empty bottle of whisky sitts on the table near two stone goblets, one knocked over indicating that the absent reveller may be inebriated. Flowers in a yellow vase and a white coffee pot round out the offerings. The cat is planning a heist. He will have that chicken. This is an oil painting. No kitties were denied nourishment.

In this painting, I wanted to capture the feeling of water lilies floating on the surface of a still pond, filled with reflections of the clouds. Lilies in the Clouds by Erin Hanson, 2026 Oil on canvas 40 x 40 in www.erinhanson.com/portfolio/li... #dailyart #lilypond #art #artist #womanartist

Monet's water lily garden in Giverny is an ever-changing and ever-renewing source of inspiration for me. In this painting, I wanted to capture the feeling of water lilies floating on the surface of a still pond, filled with reflections of the clouds. I applied thick brushstrokes of oil paint laid side by side without layering to capture the sense of movement and texture in the scene.

This is a recent #botanicalillustration of the #foxglove #Digitariapurpurea. Although Ive illustrated it before, I wasn't overjoyed with the paintings, so took the opportunity of a free day to complete a better version. With the soft green leanes and purples and spots, its a treat to illustrate.

#sciart #botanicalart of the foxglove right after the paunting is completed. On the left theres my paintbrush, on the right my paintbox with purples mixed in the palette, from painting the magenta tubular flowers with the dark purple spots in their throats.

Photo of me illustrating the foxglove. The basal rosette of floppy soft green leaves I done, and Im working on the turret of flowers, from left to right. My hand is holding the brush and resting on a sheet pf paper to keep the illustration clean

Close up of the leaves of the foxglove. Darker margin teeth have been picked out with a deep blue. Shadows showing the bumpy texture are a darker green, and cling to the lines of the side veins.

Detsil of the foxglove fliwers. They're magenta and tube like with slightly paler rims. Inside the bell shaped flower is an area of dark purple irregular spots, each ringed with white.

Sailed Away Russian archipelago frigate Svjatoi Nikolai, which in real life sank in a battle in 1790, has somehow ended up in the Jurassic, on dry land, and with enough force to fell trees. It seems like it's been there for a while. I wonder what happened to the crew?

A storybook-style illustration showing a historical sailing ship stranded on dry land in a forested landscape. There are two dinosaurs, a flying pterosaur and a volcano in the background.

Texas Hill Country is a beautiful place for spring wildflowers. Splashes of color blanket the landscape, from bluebonnets to black-eyed-Susan's. Wildflower Golds by Erin Hanson, 2026 Oil on canvas 60 x 40 in www.erinhanson.com/portfolio/wi... #art #originalart #oilpainting #dailyart @bsky.art #tx

Texas Hill Country landscape is a beautiful place to experience spring wildflowers. Splashes of color blanket the landscape, from bluebonnets to black-eyed-Susans. This painting captures the beautiful colors of spring with thick, impressionistic brushstrokes.

This oil painting was created over 24kt gold leaf. The gold leaf peeks through the brushstrokes of oil paint, catching the light and adding a subtle sparkle to the painting.

This painting will be on display for The Gold Leaf Show at The Erin Hanson Gallery in McMinnville, Oregon. All are invited to the artist reception on Saturday, November 21st. Experience van Gogh meets Klimt in Erin Hanson's iconic Open Impressionism style.

T o o h o t t o p a i n t I'm laying my ambivalence with the piece squarely at the door of this, the fourth UK heatwave this year.

Detail from the same work in progress as in the quoted post: the back, part of the head, and the wings have been painted in.

I haven't had quite enough of pale blue-violet flowers yet, it seems.

I think some vintage illustrations reveal objects on a scientist's workdesk no doubt. So this is what I imagine could be on one 😁 #SciArt #NatureArt

Here's July's lino print, "Ammonite", inspired by ancient fossils and the stone they're found in. I experimented with two colors to create a more varied striped pattern that rocks sometimes have. Process: www.patreon.com/Kamakru/post...

A 5x7 inch lino block print of an ammonite shell with a stylized dragon underneath. Cracks run through the illustration as if it were all carved or encased in stone. Black and sienna ink on light gray paper. Under it says the title "Ammonite" and Katie Croonenberghs where it will be signed once dry, text in lower right reads kamakru.com
