Please accept these flowers.

Gouache bouquet

These snails entered a portal to a new dimension and they are very frightened.

Dark Side of Spring. Lots of murder going on in springtime, it's not just flowers.

Acrylic on wood

This old tree has no advice for you.

This Catapus (Sally) wearily traverses an unfamiliar felted wool world.

Groovy tall bird.

Alien tourist wears the perfect disguise and goes undetected.

This Frog Monster has created a homemade hovercraft.

Stretching the imagination

These guys make me smile. I keep painting and drawing cats. Not sure why or what I will do with all of them.

Charcoal and iron oxide recovered from acid mine drainage on watercolor paper

Original sold, but prints available.

I really like Koi fish

I just wrapped up a Betta fish collection from a painting course.

My painting professor drew this diagram on the board and suggested that it is a diagram for a painting. "Begin with large areas, covering the canvas with general colors and shapes. Refine the shapes and begin adding details. Refine the details and work with smaller brushes. When you are adding marks that your viewers would not notice, be done." There is more, but that is enough to ponder for now.

I first started this oil on canvas painting at a conference in Lexington Kentucky. Transporting the wet canvas was a challenge

The start of a new project drawing and painting plants in water colours. These leaves are from a Wattle also called an Acacia in the nearby forest.

A peaceful beach

Most of the painting is the glory of God all around. The very small Church in the background signifies our very small, very limited understanding of God.

This is the largest canvas thus far for me. In progress!! Multiple projects are in sway with this baby of mine. Feel free to check the link for updates on all the moving parts, including video and still shots with hidden treasures added in between (little surprise pop-ups of newness) along the way. https://photos.app.goo.gl/eNiH1mwVbFHaAyAZ9 Here's some music that inspires me, along with links to listen live or on replay. Phenomenal! - DJ OTB for your creative journey. I love getting lost in the music while I dig deep to paint or create my soul expression. Much gratitude to all those out there who inspire me every day. https://www.mixcloud.com/djtruebrit-otb/ https://www.mixcloud.com/djtruebrit-otb/a-journey-in-house-afro-melodic-progressive-chill-13072024/ https://www.mixcloud.com/djtruebrit-otb/a-journey-in-house-afro-melodic-progressive-vibes-13072024/

Capturing the spaces in between and amplifying them with a play on exposure and contrast to bring forth the beauty I see within the layers. This particular play is a flower I saved from a very special event I attended. I then dried the petals of this beauty. These special petals make their way to various projects, including oil and acrylic paintings and resin on canvas. More to come :)
