Cephalopod
I’ve lost a lot of #acrylic skill since going to digital #art in 2018, but thanks to AI, digital art is dead, so I’m trying to regain that acrylic skill. I guess it’s a work in progress.
From the Deep
From the Deep – First, I assure you I am not disturbed in creating this.

We have a #woman running into the #sunrise or #sunset along with some #seagulls but unlike them, she couldn’t get away guitar solo, and bad pun – #new #seascape #artwork #beach
Getting Past the Background
I’m finding it challenging to overcome a a certain aspect of painting. I’m not sure about other artists, but backgrounds are my problem. I’m not saying they’re challenging in that they are hard to paint, rather, that I find that I paint them in a way that I’m hesitant to alter them with what isContinue reading “Getting Past the Background”
