Saw a butterfly land on this flower while taking a short break from cleaning the chicken coop. And there’s even some #silver in the background for #aColorAdayPril #butterfly #bloomscrolling #wingsonwednesday
A colorful butterfly with black wings covered in white and orange spots is perched on a soft orange flower. The flower, part of a green leafy plant, has a delicate, bell-like shape with light veining. The butterfly is centered in the sunlight, showcasing the intricate pattern on its wings. In the top left of the image, a fly rests on one of the leaves. The background features a metal fence and darker greenery in shadow, contrasting with the bright foreground.

This highly edited photo of #bathtime for #acoloradaypril #turquoise reminds me that I need more baths in my life, and more time for painting in my life, both real and digital.
Alt text: A stylized, brightly color-edited photo of a bathtub scene. On the edge of the tub sit a speckled ceramic mug with a tea bag and spoon, a white mug behind it, and a tall teal tumbler with a handle. A person’s foot rests on the right side of the tub near the chrome overflow drain. The bathtub faucet and temperature knob are mounted on tan tiled walls, and the left wall is painted a bold blue, adding contrast to the overall warm pink and orange hues of the image.

Recent logo for client done by hand in procreate. Black and white illustrated logo for “Holly’s Hop Inn & Hen Haven.” The design features a hen standing proudly beside a nest with two eggs nestled in it. Surrounding the hen and nest are detailed flowers and herbs, including poppies and lavender. The text reads: “Holly’s Hop Inn & Hen Haven, Guerneville, CA, Est. 2013.” The artwork has a rustic, vintage style with hand-drawn linework that gives it a charming and cozy farm aesthetic.

Walked out the door at work the other day thankful to have my phone in my pocket so I could capture this little lady-bug. And she works perfect for #aColorAdAyPRIL #red and #yellow. Now to find something for orange to get caught up.
A close-up of a bright yellow daisy-like flower in full bloom with a red ladybug perched on its central disc. The flower stands out sharply against a blurred background of green leaves and additional yellow flower buds, creating a vibrant and sunny springtime scene.

They are set against a backdrop of a sandy, earthy-toned hill under a clear blue sky. The overall style suggests a painting or artwork depicting old, possibly abandoned, fishing vessels.
