Tower card in progress.

#tarot #illustration #art #myart #tower #fall

A beige tower with black siding emerges from a growth of orange-red trees. The orange-hued plants of the forest grow up along the tower's structure. Against the blue sky, a red lightning bolt strikes the top of the tower, breaking its crown into pieces.

A surreal landscape: a mountainous desert under a striking purple sky. Streaks of heavy clouds fade into a starry night sky. Hovering at various locations on the desert are glowing green bubbles. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

"Someone has a great fire in his soul and nobody ever comes to warm themselves at it, and passers-by see nothing but a little smoke at the top of the chimney and then go on their way."

Quote in his Letter (no. 155), June 1880.

~Vincent van Gogh, born #OTD in 1856.

"Van Gogh painted this self-portrait in the winter of 1887–1888, when he had been living in Paris for nearly two years. Since his arrival in the city he had devoted much study to the dotted Pointillist technique, thereby learning how he might apply it in his own fashion. His use of brushstrokes running in a variety of directions created a self-portrait with a halo-like circle round his head. This variation and the dynamics it created were Van Gogh’s own contribution to the new style of painting." (Van Gogh Museum notice)

Beauty In Simplicity

I love the simplicity of this small stone building on the Isle of Iona, Scotland. Not sure of its purpose but it's easy to find between the nunnery ruins and the village hall.

I hadn't brought a book, so as tempting as it was to find a spot along the bank to settle down upon and read, I couldn't.

But that didn't stop me from finding a spot along the bank to settle down upon and listen to the stream flow by.

A slight bend, a little turn, a passing under the arches with another one just beyond -- exploring an Italian hilltop town is confusingly delightful.

You won't get lost because you're on the top of a hill, and eventually you'll reach the edge, but that doesn't mean you don't FEEL lost.

Confusingly, delightfully so.

No, Snow, I don't think you'll be around forever, although some days it feels as if it will be so.

Rumor is that Spring is on her way. She's not in a hurry, but she's most definitely planning to be here, and I think she'll have something to say about your sticking around.

The Fighting Temeraire: Why JMW Turner's greatest painting is so misunderstood

As museums around the world celebrate the 250th birthday of JMW Turner, it's time to reappraise his beloved and celebrated painting, The Fighting Temeraire.

By Matt Wilson

https://www.bbc.co.uk/culture/article/20250415-jmw-turner-at-250-why-his-greatest-painting-the-fighting-temeraire-is-so-misunderstood

JMW Turner at PG:

The Fighting Temeraire. 1839, by Joseph Mallord William Turner.

The painting shows the once-mighty warship HMS Temeraire, hero of the Battle of Trafalgar, being towed by a small, blackened steam-powered tugboat up the River Thames to be broken up. The contrast between the two vessels is stark and symbolic — the proud, ghostly white sailing ship looms large and elegant, while the tugboat is squat, dirty, and puffing out thick smoke.

The Temeraire is placed off-center to the left, bathed in the golden glow of the sunset. The tugboat pulls it from the right, emphasizing movement and inevitable transition.

Turner’s masterful use of light dominates the scene. The setting sun floods the sky with rich hues of orange, gold, and pink, blending into cool blues and purples of the encroaching night.

Working on a little experiment, trying to convert a Batman artwork by the skilled Max Grecke to 3D as faithfully as possible.

Instead of focusing on modeling, as I usually do, I'm putting the emphasis on transferring the texture, which takes a lot of work in Blender Texture Paint.

Updates will follow in this 🧵…

Detox Doodles!

I am making a habit of drawing something each time I want to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching everyday!

This page is full of Potoos and Tawny Frogmouths, who are simply Muppets.

Sketchbook pages of blue drawings of Potoos and Tawny Frogmouths. The text at the top reads 5/11/25, POTOO + TAWNY FROGMOUTH, and (they're basically Muppets). There are 14 different birds, some wirh their mouths open. 3 of the birds are baby chicks.
