A Pixel Art Redraw of a Cat, standing in the right side of the canvas that has a perplexed, almost derpy expression, probably shocked by what they just witnessed. I wonder what they saw...

Portrait of Federico Zuccaro, by Fede Galizia (1604), oil on canvas, at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.

It shows Zuccaro in three-quarter view against a dark, neutral background, emphasizing his face and upper body.

The sitter has short, thinning gray hair, a high forehead, and a neatly trimmed gray beard and mustache.

His expression is calm and introspective, with slightly downcast eyes.

He wears a dark, austere garment typical of late 16th–early 17th century elite fashion, offset by a crisp white collar.

"This Vista de Valencia, composed of 5031 individual pieces of type, has a distinctly digital quality to it.

It's made almost 100 years before the advent of ASCII art, but the image's construction, the trees in particular, bear an uncanny resemblance to the semigraphic style of Commodore PETSCII art."

A small shack hovers in space, several feet away from the edge of a cliff. It is tenuously tethered to the edge of the cliff by a rickety staircase. The shack has one glowing window, a television antenna, and a glowing white porch light. At the edge of the cliff, next to the staircase, is a small mailbox. This is a dark, teal painting, signed "Chris Silverman".

Dieses Bild ist Teil meiner Serie von Acrylgemälden in quadratischem Format mit dem Thema Meer und Strand, die ich im Sommer 2021 gemalt habe, inspiriert von Besuchen an der wunderschönen Ostseeküste.
Beim Betrachten fühle ich mich gleich wieder an den Strand zurückversetzt, fühle den Sommerwind und höre das Rauschen der Wellen und Rufen der Möwen...
Ich wünsche dir viel Freunde damit!

I'm happy that my watercolor painting 'Little Blue Tit on a branch' won third place in the Fine Art America contest 'Painting with yellow white green black blue only'.

‘Little Blue Tit on a Branch’ is a portrait-format watercolor painting hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A little blue tit sits on a thin branch, looking to the right. Its blue and yellow plumage is reflected in the soft green tones of the abstract background.
Blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) are welcome visitors to the bird feeder and in my garden. I love watching them and they are always a welcome subject for new paintings.

Hi mastodon,

I'm an artist in the ligne claire tradition, based in Sweden. I'm in the process of leaving Instagram. Follow me for scifi/fantasy drawings.

#introduction #MastoArt #FediArt #Art

EDIT: I now have more followers here in a few hours, than I gained on instagram in something like 6 years. It's as if Zuckerberg has been keeping me artificially down. Thank you all.

Two spacefarers by a blue alien monument with a humanoid face on the top and some inscriptions in an alien language, looking out over a vast purple jungle down below. There are two moons in the sky. It is a digital drawing in the ligne claire tradition.

The more she thought, the more questions she had, and the more questions she had, the more time she wanted to work her way through them.

"If people reap what they sow," she wondered, "what do those who sow fear, so that they can get more money and power, eventually harvest?"

It was one of many questions. She had no answer yet, but that didn't stop her from asking.

There's no highway, no smooth road to drive over, just this winding dirt path that looks like it will take its time to get to the foothills of the mountain.

But the mountain is pleased by the road, because it doesn't want crowds of cars parked at its feet. I suppose that mountains, in their rocky way, value a bit of privacy now and then, just as we do.

As a child in a religious household, I was admonished to not ask questions, because that's how the devil worked doubt in one's heart.

"Trust the pastor," was the message.

Seems silly, doesn't it? But the same message is fed to us outside of the church when we're instructed to "Trust the science. Listen to the experts. Don't do your own research."

I think asking questions is an absolutely sound plan.

I freely admit that I have no desire to clamber about a roof repairing clay tiles, but I most definitely enjoyed viewing them from our apartment balcony in Orvieto, Italy.

(And I heartily admire those who clamber about on those roofs, repairing them.)
