"A Day in Silver Springs"
Pastel on paper, 12x18 in
I enjoy plein air. I'm new'ish to the area, but one day I decided to venture out on my own. Loaded my painting gear and drove out to see a reservoir an hour away. I got lost twice even with GPS, through unpaved roads, got nervous about the certain political stickers on my vehicle... ! Finally got to the lake, which was completely dry. Absolutely no one was around, and how eery quiet it was! #artist #mastoart

"Winter Grass"
pastel on dark UART paper - 12x18 in

Painted in a dark-paper workshop by Sergei Pietila (one of my favorite pastel artists!) last weekend. Instantly regretted the subject matter I chose, but at the end it worked out. Grassland has been my favorite subject to paint lately. #artist #mastoart #artmastodon #pastelpainting

For me, it's "Marketing Monday, Framing Friday, paint all other days!" Because of #ArtAdventCalendar , I can consider posting a painting here is marketing, so now I can go paint. Thanks @jayispainting ❤️ #mastoart #artist #artistonmastodon

Another plein air done at Air Sailing Gliderport in Reno, NV. This is the second one. I have to choose the extreme-landscape format because it's basically a 360-panoramic. The earth is spherical. #mastoart #artist #soaring #pastelpainting #pastelartist

Here's the graph for the painting I posted here on Nov 27th; you may have to click on it to see it in entirety. It says "Post to Instagram" but it is actually Mastodon -- they don't have that option yet! I'm so happy I came here. Thanks Mastodon, #mastoart #artist

Second snow of the season that is just enough to dust the canyon; it's a view from the trail by the Horseman's Park, Reno NV.

then I post on TW and IG with the DPW link. I usually get 25 ~ 30 views by the end of next day, when DPW "features" the painting on the front page. Now I am doing the same on Mastodon and IG but not on TW. My counter on DPW jumped! Now by the end of next day I have 160~200 views, some leading to the visits to my online gallery on DPW. This really makes me happy; selling is wonderful, but showing is even more exciting. So glad I came here. Thank you Mastodon! #mastoart #art #artist ... 2/end

I have accounts on the birdsite and IG, and also DailyPaintworks where I basically catalog all of my paintings. DPW is wonderful especially its analytics. I was pretty bummed about leaving the birdsite because I had some good (to me) sales there, and zero from IG. But ethically I can't ... (snip) So when I finish a painting, I post it on DPW and... 1/
