I spent a decent amount of time today mixing colors for tomorrow. Then I was feeling #pink #Hydrangea #paint #art #artist #roses and those are my wife's awesome homemade oatmeal chocolate chip pecan #cookies. #gaffreyartmaterial #flowers #heavytexturepaint

I'm feeling more anxious everyday. So I will keep turning my anxiety into beauty. #flowers #heavytexturepaint #gaffreyartmaterial #ultramarineBlue #Gold #art #artist. Many of these flowers will be painted to give extra depth and Mr. Darcy stepped on some again. #cat #cats

Yesterday was my birthday. Everything feels so horrible and dark. I needed to just create and play with my paint. This is how I deal with anxiety. #Art #Artist #heavytexturepaint #gaffreyartmaterial #flowers #beauty #DurhamNC #RESIST #DenyDefendDepose #pwME #DYSAUTONOMIA @bsky.art

Safer to do this dahlia in stages given its size and the special swirl paint effect I'm doing. Later tonight I'll be working on fluorescent dahlias for my upcoming #RESIST #Pride pieces. @bsky.art #dahlia #flowers #art #artist #heavytexturepaint #gaffreyartmaterial #adhd #DurhamNC #persist #patience

Been hyper focused on prepping boards, building my website, and taking frequent naps(it's a #pwME thing) @culturehustle.bsky.social Black 4.0 came today.I was experimenting with it and using it to prep a few surfaces.More to come! #art #artist #heavytexturepaint #gaffreyartmaterial @bsky.art #paint

The first photo shows what happens when Mr. Darcy (1 of 2 of my velcro cats) tries to "help" me with my new color of hydrangea petals. The rest our some flowers for a piece I'm working on. Only 3 more flowers and I'll be ready to put together and add final touches! #Art #heavytexturepaint #flowers

This is what my studio looked like before I moved a bunch of stuff to our living room so I could paint while on the couch. #pwME #chronicillnesswarrior #art #artist #durham #DurhamNC #gaffreyartmaterial #heavytexturepaint #GoldenPaints #liquitex @bsky.art

I, @kblewcrew.bsky.social, was just messing around with one of my favorite #paint colors,the Phthalo Turquoise #heavytexturepaint from #gaffreyartmaterial and mixed with the Titanium white. I just let my mind wonder and this was the result. #art #artist #painting #acrylic #flowers #meditation #calm
