For the #BlueSkyArtShow, I'm showing #Lights through water with my acrylic painting of a platypus, called "Aussie Diver". It was a fun picture to do & I'm pleased with the way it turned out. #art #painting #nature #underwater #Artists #Australianwildlife #mammals

Painting of a platypus diving through green water with light rays behind them, with reeds on the right hand side and grey rocks at the bottom.

#Abstractia #animals The Island of Fake Letter Snakes. Just a weird #procreate drawing for fun! #snake #eck

A drawing of an island with squiggles that look like they could be letters or symbols but are made of snakes with tongues sticking out.
The banner says “Island of Fake Letter Snakes”
There’s a sea serpent in the top cove.

Image of a tabby cat lying in a human bed. The picture is captured from an eye level of the cat so it looks like you’re looking at the cat lying on his side, looking right at the camera.

#minimal #BlueSkyArtShow

A single blade of bright green grass grows improbably from a narrow seam in a weathered stone patio table, sharply focused in the foreground and glowing in the sunlight. Behind it, softly blurred green outdoor cushions sit beneath a wooden railing, with dense sunlit foliage beyond. The shallow depth of field and low perspective isolate the tiny sprout against the much larger surroundings, emphasizing its persistence in an unlikely place.
