📍Piece in Progress

Inspired by a striking ostrich photo I saw online, this work imagines that familiar gaze in a world long gone. Still layering textures and color — and as always, letting a bit of orange find its way in.

Sometimes a glance from nature sparks a full landscape.

... Read moreArt has a unique way of capturing the world around us, especially when influenced by nature. In the process of creating artworks inspired by wildlife, artists often blend imagination with elements of natural history, producing pieces that evoke emotions and spark conversations. The ostrich, with its distinct gaze and elegance, serves as a perfect muse for artists wishing to portray life's complexities through vibrant aesthetics. Textures play a pivotal role in art, allowing creators to convey not just visuals but the very essence of their inspirations. Incorporating various materials into artworks can enhance the tactile experience. Cardboard, for instance, can be transformed into a canvas, showcasing the theme of repurposed art. This movement encourages environmental consciousness while breathing new life into discarded items. The color orange can be particularly striking in art, symbolizing creativity and warmth. A dash of this lively hue can turn a mundane piece into a captivating visual narrative, catching the viewer's eye and inviting intrigue. As you explore artistic works inspired by nature, consider how these elements work together to create compelling stories, urging us to pause and reflect. Artists are continuously experimenting with how nature can be a source of inspiration—whether through specific subjects or abstract interpretations. For those looking to delve deeper into this world, engaging with online communities that celebrate themes like #ArtInspiredByNature and #CreativeSTREaM can offer new perspectives and connections. Celebrating the intersection of creativity and the natural world not only enriches the art experience but also highlights the beauty all around us.

Not all great progress ends in crazy weight loss
This got a lot of hate when I first posted it one of my groups because my progress pic doesn’t end with weight loss… now reposting a year later, it didn’t end at all. When I first posted this a year ago, I posted because I was proud of my bulk, even when I was soo scared of gaining weight.
