'For some, the searing sun of summertime may be sublime, but not all. A few find favor in the chill caress of the winds of winter, in the solitude of snow, and the comforting caress of the cold. For these, there is no sweeter sight than morning mists in the dim dawn of the day.'

Almost Home, 2026 ❄️ Acrylic on board, 20x20 cm. I actually finished this when we still had snow, but I've been slow with scanning stuff recently. #art #acrylic #cats #painting

Acrylic painting of a snowy scenery. A gray cat is sitting on the foreground, looking towards a snow-covered house on the other side of a field, smoke rising from the chimney. A pale sun can only just be seen through the flurry.

'Within the shell of a dead mountain, within the walls of the earth itself, they built a city, safe and sound. No matter the raging storms of the world without, the cliffs and heights would protect those who called the city home, sheltered and secure in their own little world within the world.'

'Fearsome, foesome, fiendish, and foul, the snub-nosed drake spreads its wings and roars with frightful force, sending all the small to scattering, and putting all else on guard of its formidable figure. At least, it would be so threatening were it more than a handsbreadth tall.'

A painterly illustration piece depicting an encounter of a mouse knight who is in the foreground, turned away from us and a baby dragon nestled in bright orange autumn leaves. In the bottom part of the painting there is a relief which depicts a battle between mice and a dragon suggesting that their relationship shouldn't be courteous.

'Being a child of destiny is a challenge, from fending off resentful rivals and fabled foes to roving where none but ferocious fiends have tread before, all to fulfill some ancient prophecy that predicted your prodigy so long ago. Sometimes dragons, even the mighty, are the least of your worries.'

'There is a mood well known to man, where you do what little you can, where the best you can manage, is to get through life with no damage, at least no more than what you were born, feared and furious and forlorn. There is a mood we all attempt, to live a life without contempt, however it's dreamt.'

There was a home once. It was filled with people, and life, and joy. Once. The people left. Now it is a house. (Poem in three parts. Part one.)

It always warms my heart a little bit when folks make up their own stories from my work. I'd love to see what other stories folks think up. While I always have my own tales in mind I would love to hear more of what other folks envision when they see my stuff so please feel free to riff.

'It was so strange, so absurd. She was the goddess of wild places and all natural life but her adherents worshiped her, not in old high places nor in sacred groves or streams, but in highly artificed temples, in sanctuaries of stone and silence, far from the wild world she ruled. So… unnatural….'

'The world of today, and what we build for tomorrow, oft throws shadows upon the pillars of the past, letting languish what once were the pillars of our prosperity, the souls of our society. What once was a wonder can wane and waste away, forgotten, fading forever into ruin and relic.' #Antiquated

Finished this recently, forgot to share. Wanted to do some kind of environment with destroyed machines, started with zero visual concept in my head and let the piece develop as I go. #art #artup #digitalart #scifi #scifiart

A mysterious figure carrying a staff and wearing a strange polyhedral helmet stands on a cliff in a barren landscape and observes ruins of giant machine, possibly a robot. The destruction has been recent based on the smoke and dust surrounding the machine.

'Untouched, untrammeled, untamed in an age when even the furthest fields and ranges were being claimed and named by the ever enveloping encroachment of mankind. This land was yet free of such settlements, the indomitable domain of some of the other living creatures of the world.' #LetNatureBeNatural

'The heart is where the homeland is, or so they say when you move away. Absence makes the heart grow fonder no matter where you wander. All those you left behind, will still be there when you find that all your roads lead back to home, when there are no more paths to roam.'

#ArtRepostJuly Didn't know this was a thing but I also have an environment I want to share. An old one I'm still proud of almost a decade later that got folded into my world of Esmeralda.

'Few walk the land of the dragons. There is no need. Few creatures can live, nothing grows in this remote region and there are other routes to take. Some brave souls come every so often to challenge themselves and learn their worth. Few walk the land of the dragons, though a few fools do try.'

oldie moldie sketch dragons of course!

'The behemoth scared many when first it appeared, emerging slowly from the melting ices. Then, they thought it was dead, so slow did it move. Then, as ages wore on and no danger arose, the dragon was, adored, worshiped, and then ignored. One more benign feature of the land around them.' #Fantasy

'This pond was perfect. It was her everything, everything she wanted, everything she needed, everything and everywhere she had ever known or would need to know. This pond was her pristine paradise. Serene and satisfied, she swam its breadth and width. It was wild and wonderful and her whole world.'

'This alien world was all too familiar. The ground beneath their feet was solid, the clouds above still drifted in an oh so familiar manner, even the gravity was nearly the same as their homeworld. Yet, without the safety of their suits this new world would kill them in an instant.' #AlienWorlds

'The time of torpor had come. The time of light and love and laughter had long since languished, and all was barren and bereft. The time of men and monsters and even the small scurrying species that once saw this land alive had passed. The time had come for darkness and shadow and death.'

'Winters wax and winters wane, every year, again and again, but every fresh frost and freeze, ever sooner did winter seize, ice and snow assailing fields, every year grew smaller yields. Someday soon, this land will wither, and winter will come and stay forever.'

It’s a bit of a dull day here so far, so I figured I’d run with it. Merry Christmas. Winter field. #Watercolour on paper, 8x10 in. #Watercolor #YukonArt Painting of the day 1759.

Painting of a bleak field in winter with a raven flying in the distance.

Every wave is a moment in motion, every second of the sun's setting is another gone forever. Ever brief, yet ever glorious, even as the hues fade away, even as the light dims and diminishes, and our vision grows grayer and graver, even then there is awe, even then there is hope. #impermanence 1/4

'Within the land of dreaming, everyone can fly, within the midnight gleaming everyone can try, upon the clouds of slumber where all come to lie, as long as you are dreaming there's no need to cry. May this night and every night you seek respite, you sleep at peace, in grace, adrift in space.' #sleep

'Nature is never silent but it so often seems so. No, the birds, the bugs, the small and stealthy animals can all be heard if you listen. Even the trees and grass bend in the wind and make themselves known to those with the patience of mind and love of learning to slow down, to stay still, to rest.'

Happy Birthday David Attenborough! #art #drawing

Where there was no house, where they found refuge despite the design, where there was but scant shelter from storm and stranger, still they still made a home.

'A silent street. Not a sound, not a stirring, not a semblance of the storm that swept through the sky not but a night before. Naught but mist and mystery wandered this way so early in the day. A silent street and none were stirring, none but one, and that one was up too early to be up to any good.'
