OK, time to get serious about this #AccidentalArtist thing. Here's my photo of a wet Parisian pavement reflecting lights from a nearby cafe. Here also is Gerhard Richter's Abstraktes Bild, which sold for $28 million at Sotheby's in 2012. Can YOU tell which is which? #aofoto #aoFotoCall

Remember these blob frogs? I’m going to spend October painting blob cats as part of @caseformaking.bsky.social #colortober! The first one will be posted later today. www.taragibbs.com/galleries/fr...

Frogs, Primarily

Exploring randomly selected trios of red, blue, and yellow paints by painting frogs, primarily. Each frog shares at least one paint in common with each frog above, below, left, and right of it.

I love this idea. A good way to stretch your artist's brain. My faves are upper-right & lower-left "lost the plot" cracked me up! #mixedmedia #followsomerules #artexercises #yellow #orange #black #abstract #expressive #intuitiveart

Daryk Jozef@darykjozef.bsky.social · 3d ago

Random sketches while waiting for things to dry. Each contains 4 brushstrokes, 4 pencil/charcoal/pastel marks, and one mark from something that isn't a brush or drawing utensil. I kinda like the first 2, the other 2 lost the plot

#firehydrantfriday Doesn't every fire hydrant deserve a work of art? #aophoto #red #mirror #graffiti #photography #photograp-HER #eck #artyear

This is a photo of a bright red fire hydrant sitting on a white pedestal in front of a pink-ish stucco wall. The wall has a piece of mirror with painted, vertical brown lines on it. It is outlined with black lines the go off the corners to look like cracks.

When I have no idea what to draw, I usually end up drawing stylized tigers. This time I wanted also try some paint markers with acrylic paints #mixedmedia #markers #acrylic #tiger

Bright colored orange tiger with blue stripes and red accents looks behind green leaves in a dark jungle, only half of their face is visible.
