I love all the flowers in my garden. Every last one is beautiful in its own right, but Morning Glories are the best. They just are.

They already look like a wormhole, but when the squash plants start to flower. Bees leave bits of orange pollen behind making it look like there are tiny stars on the petals. None of these photos are AI or photoshop btw. They're just like this. I love them :)

This gouache piece is actually reeeeeaaaally tiny in real life !

Got to remake it one day, I enjoyed painting the temple and it could definitely look better 🤔

Garlanded sarcophagus with the myth of Theseus and Ariadne. Roman, Hadrianic or early Antonine, c. 130-150 CE, marble, Metropolitan Museum of Art. Photo by Stephen Chappell.

On the lid, shown in delicate low relief, winged erotes drive chariots drawn by animals associated with the four seasons: bears with spring, lions with summer, bulls with fall, and boars with winter. On the front, four erotes bear seasonal garlands composed of flowers, wheat, grapes, pomegranates, and laurel. Between the swags are three episodes from the myth of the Greek hero Theseus.... Depicted from left to right are: Ariadne giving a thread to Theseus at the entrance to the labyrinth, Theseus slaying the Minotaur, and the sleeping Ariadne abandoned on the island of Naxos, where she will be awakened by the god Dionysus to become his immortal bride.

A fairy with maple key wings which I had overwetted and overworked way too much so I can't fix it now. Their pants and pauldron are made of Japanese fruit beetle shells, which are invasive here and destroy my raspberry plants

I will be doing commission work in the fall, so stay tuned for updates
