Dandelions are highly nutritious, edible plants rich in antioxidants and vitamins A, C, and K. They support digestion, liver health, and healthy blood sugar levels.They are also a vital, early-spring food source for bees and pollinator insects.

A brown horse is grazing on green grass and vegetation in a pasture of the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, California. In the background is a white rail and post fence that separates the pasture from the Madonna Inn (the white buildings). The sky is a mixture of blue and various white cloud formations.

An original artwork of a heron with wildflowers. Created using acrylic paints on A3 board.

In certain Celtic traditions, the heron is considered to be the reincarnation of Rhiannon. Because of this association with Rhiannon, a deity linked to water, herons are sometimes called "the Lady of the Lakes" in parts of Wales and Scotland.

Thank you so much! I wanted to use some colors that I don't work with all the time. I was tired of doing pink flowers.

'Sunny Yellow Buttercup on Green and Blue' created in soft pastel and just finished this week. These little wildflowers hold fond memories for me of my childhood in Virginia. Prints & cards featuring this artwork will be available at the links in my profile. #PastelArt #Flowers #BotanicalArt

A mountain landscape with dramatic sky. Sunlight held behind dark storm clouds and a washing line cutting diagonally across the foreground, from the centre to the right hand side. The clothes are being blown by the wind, clinging onto the line. Palette is Payneโ€™s grey, olive, raw umber, unbleached titanium and warm white.

My latest painting: oil on birch panel, 70 x 100cm

I wanted to add something that would look out of place in the landscape, yet in harmony with it. A symbol of mundanity clinging on. Almost transient.

The lower half of the image is a wall of rocks, a little broken up in some spots and solid in others. At the top of the wall is a tree growing from the rocks with blue sky behind it. Green ferns grow around the tree and seemingly from some of the rocks part way down the wall. The rocks range from gray tones to more tan tones.

Deep browns, violet, blue, and gold tones dance across layered textures for an industrial yet earthy and organic look.

The world feels very unsettled, and art isnโ€™t always the priority in these trying times. Even so, I'm here and keep on making.

These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku vessels available now. A share or like to help them find their people would mean a great deal. ๐Ÿ™

Iguazu Falls in Argentina, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, offers an immersive and intense experience, with 80% of its 275 waterfalls located within Iguazu National Park. The Argentinian side allows visitors to hike through the Misiones rainforest, get up close to the imposing Devil's Throat, and experience the raw power of the water from upper and lower walkways. Vertical landscape photograph capturing three distinct, powerful water chutes at Iguazรบ Falls, Misiones, Argentina. The cascading water exhibits a prominent earthy brown or coffee-like hue due to sediment and organic matter from upriver swamplands. Intense green subtropical foliage surrounds the flow, while a persistent mist and spray fill the atmosphere. Focus on the geological power and the chromatic contrast between the silty water and the vegetation. Optimized for geological, hydrological, and South American ecotourism indexing

Soft pastel cityscape titled Time for a Brake. A large earthy-yellow industrial building stands along the Chicago River, set against cool blue-green water and a gray, partly cloudy sky. A railroad yard lies below the building. Four white sailboats with tall masts move along the river, contrasting with the heavy industrial setting. In the foreground, a grassy patch with a few trees frames the scene.

One of my first Chicago scenes, painted in class ๐ŸŽจ, based on a photo I took during my commute ๐Ÿšฒ when the bridge opened for passing boats โ›ต๏ธ. I like the atmosphere showing a vestige of the Industrial Era contrasted with shiny sailboats.
