I started this #collective for Black ceramic #artists in 2021 as a response to the murder of #GeorgeFloyd and the resulting, temporary Black business boom of 2020. Hearing predominantly white orgs confess that they were still “listening & learning” made me realize with renewed urgency how much we need our own resources & institutions.

The Kaabo Award sale, on 5/25 (the anniversary of Floyd’s death) is our biggest fundraiser of the year.

The ecstatic swoon

As Stendhal knew, the reason for art is to make you feel. Do not try to grasp the artwork: allow it to grasp you instead

by Robert D Zaretsky

Melancholy portrait of Stendhal by Ducis, 1835, in Milan.

Stendhal is shown seated, his expression introspective and distant, embodying the Romantic ideal of the sensitive, brooding intellectual. The subdued color palette and soft shadows enhance the reflective atmosphere. His dark clothing contrasts with the lighter background, focusing attention on his somber gaze and thoughtful demeanor.

Detox Doodles!

I've started the habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about cats and I got carried away with the sillies!

#art #cat #sketch #DetoxDoodles

Sketchbook page with hot pink drawings. Top right is the date 5/6/25. Top row is of a cat with his lips pulled in and the words WTF written to his left. To the right is a sleepy cat. Next row is of a distorted cat with a HUGE tongue and a black floofy black cat peeking over a table. Bottom left is of a cat with huge eyes and her tongue sticking out and below is a simple drawing of a round cat. To the right are two stretch out cats, very wide horizontally.

Sunshine Dance is an abstract acrylic painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
Vibrant splashes of colour and loose brushstrokes of yellow, orange and purple blend together in an abstract design, creating a vibrant and energetic composition. Soft colour gradients and loose edges give the artwork a sense of fluidity and movement.
The sunshine dances merrily in the summer sky between the clouds.
Let the sunshine into your heart and your home!
The warm colours yellow and orange are energizing and positive and reflect happiness and optimism.

Smiling Robin is a watercolor painting in portrait format hand-painted by the artist Karen Kaspar.
A small European Robin with a bright orange breast stands on a light blue shadow. The background is minimalist and emphasises the colorful presence of the bird. The little bird looks towards the viewer and seems to smile at him in a friendly manner.
Like other songbirds, the robin is a welcome guest in my garden and always inspires me to create new paintings.

Frische saftige rote Erdbeeren in einer grünen Schale, die auf einem Tisch stehen, warten auf diesem Aquarellgemälde im zeitgenössischen quadratischen Format darauf, als süße Nachspeise verzehrt zu werden.
Während ich davon träumte, diese köstlichen Früchte in meinem Sommergarten zu ernten, spielte ich mit kontrastierenden Farben Rot und Grün und kontrastierenden geometrischen Formen wie runden Früchten und Schalen und geraden Linien für die Tischdecke im Hintergrund.
Guten Appetit!

I love where I live, but while I'm traveling, I frequently see places that make me stop and think, "I'd like to live there."

But as I'm an ordinary person without the finances to own multiple homes, I just take a look, grab a reference photo, and back in my studio, paint the moment.

There were two fantastic things about that day.

The first was that she stumbled upon a new author she had never read before, and loved what was written.

The second was that she had an entire day to immerse herself in reading.

i like to think that tonight's aston villa win over PSG was for benjamin zephaniah on what would - & SHOULD - have been his 67th birthday.
he was practically perfect in every way - on palestine, non-human animals, the planet, equality & the monarchy - & i know this because he wouldn't have liked anyone holding him in such high esteem.
happy ben day, everyone.
