I really hope it snows this year! Can you tell my kid named this one? I'm aiming to fundraise for new furniture this year. Our couches & mattresses are falling apart & causing us pain, so please check out my work & get some prints for yourself or others!

It's ya neighborhood Black, queer, disabled photographer Rayne! Did you know if 60 people bought one of my $10 wallpaper bundles from ko-fi per month, I could afford a bunch of basic necessities like food & transit? If folks bought prints of my work, they get my best art & help a multiply marginalized artist survive capitalism!

Autumn Owl

Nothing like a wise owl to keep me company on a crisp autumn day. Such a cool experience, I really enjoy seeing owl's out in nature and truly enjoyed photographing this barred owl resting while traveling the Natchez Trace in north MS.

Mountains seem pretty permanent, and yet not just an earthquake, but weather, water, and time can change their form. Boulders cascading down a draw once were part of a mountain, and now make their way downward in a (generally slow) shift and change to the landscape.

A couple years ago, I was out in the middle of a snow storm, getting as many photographs as I could. On my way home, I spotted the Norfolk Southern 1198 train just sitting on the tracks. The engines were idling, and when they turned on the lights, I knew they were getting ready to move on.

Prints and more are here - https://beautifulsunphotography.com/featured/norfolk-southern-1198-during-a-snowtorm-deb-beausoleil.html?product=art-print

Society is obsessed with numbers: your weight, your clothing size, your bank account, and your social media popularity are just some of the ways you're measured.

What do these stats help you understand your own experience of the world? Of all the records about you, which one do you feel best represents you in real life?

I'm #, # , # , # and I wanted to share some of my art with you.
I've been drawing since before I could speak, and I'm 53 now! I have a vast amount of work to show, so I decided to just share my four latest pieces, along with my links.

Art is my main form of communication and is really my only way to get through to other people. Some people think because I use a cute vocabulary, my art is just funny -and that's ok, but I hope viewers can see that I'm trying to express something deeper than that.

One of my lifelong projects is # Series, which I started in 2009 and continue to this day, showing my takes on the records that made me who I am. Music is my main inspiration in life!

I've worked as a graphic designer my whole adult life, until the beginning of COVID, when I lost the job I thought I'd have til I "retired": layout designer for my local newspaper. Since then, I've been working in a grocery store, thinking it would be temporary til things "got back to normal"... but they never did, and I think, never will. So I am definitely interested in creative opportunities!

My Site: http://www.norncutson.com/
My Shop: https://www.redbubble.com/people/norncutson/shop

And here are my four most recent pieces. I am ALWAYS working on something, I've got sketches going, WIP going, and dreaming up (sometimes literally!) new ideas all the time!

Follow me for more!
I'm always posting sketches, WIPs and digging through old files!

Thanks for reading!

My take on the cover art of Shakespears Sister's GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD.<br /><br />A blue-tinted image. Two white women posing, one in profile, looking skyward, elegant; the other gazing directly at the viewer, creeping up in goblin mode.<br /><br />Text, top right corner, thin pale blue handwritten scrawl: "Shakespears<br />Sister<br />goodbye<br />cruel<br />world<br />x".
My take on the cover art of Alice Coltrane’s JOURNEY IN SATCHIDANANDA.<br /><br />On an orange gradient background, a cis black woman sits on bended knee, in a sage blue and metallic gold kurta. She looks deep in heavy thought. Her hair is in a tight afro, she wears a headband that matches her outfit. She wears wooden beads and a gold necklace. The tail of her robe is spread out before her.<br /><br />Text in center top, pale yellow sans serif: "ALICE COLTRANE". Below, n yellow sans serif: "JOURNEY IN SATCHIDANANDA. Below, in thin pale yellow sans serif: “Featuring".<br /><br />Below, in pale yellow sans serif; "PHAROAH SANDERS".
My take on Senorita Dido, of TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN.<br /><br />A black and white image of a pale, moon-faced Latin woman. She gazes directly at the viewer with large, calm, dark eyes. She has a beauty mark over her right lip.<br />She has a modest feather headdress, jeweled barrette, layers of necklaces, and a dress with a regal collar. The dress has sequined detailing over sheer fabric. We see her in head-and-shoulders-view against a black background.
My illustration of the band Lush!<br />The four band members, from left to right: Phil King, Emma Anderson, Mili Berenyi and Chris Acland.<br />Phil stands with hands on hips, looking serious, wearing a black outfit with white V-shaped stripes. Emma is holding her guitar and wearing long sleeve ivory and ivory stockings under a black jumper. A white headband holders her dark hair back, and her bands shield her eyes. Miki wirlds her guitar. Her flaming red hair stands out, as does her green t-shirt with red trim, polka dot sequined skirt, ripped black stockings and red shoes with gold buckles. Chis is wearing a comfy cozy ivory fisherman's sweater, as he pops out from behind Miki, smiling and laughing.<br />Behind them is a psychedelic swirl of colors, lights, patterns and textures.
 
A fun still life with a specific purpose! In January 2021, I painted my setup and a piece I was working on (a painting of me painting a painting… very meta.) I later used it on my business cards. Since I’m reprinting those, I thought, why not paint a fresh “selfie”? (Phone number omitted.)

A business card featuring a still-life watercolor painting of colored markers in a green ceramic mug with Hungarian floral motifs, a white porcelain water dish with three compartments, a polished rounded piece of labradorite flashing blue and orange, an open paint palette with colors mixed on the tray, an eraser and tube of watercolor paint. The card reads, “Danielle Rose, spaceflight and landscape artist, watercolor and technical illustration, drose.studio” with icons for Instagram, Twitter, Mastodon, LinkedIn and Substack with their respective usernames.

Red Lionfish, one of the first watercolors I put in my # shop. Capitola Dreaming is a recent painting, also in my shop. Started in August 2020, my first online shop was kind of a pandemic project.

Alien Landscape

2023 03 31 day 281 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).

To clarify for those who weren’t with me at the beginning in May 2022, I decided to do a one year challenge to do some kind of art every day for a year so I could, hopefully, learn to do art. In the beginning, my art, or more accurately, “art”, wasn’t very good. I had not done much since finger painting in grade two or three. I considered myself a wannabe artist. But I figured that, if I worked at art seriously for a year, I could improve. I aspire to competence. So what you see here is very much that of a beginner artist learning to art.

On to the now. I seem to be developing a habit of painting otherworldly scenes. I must continue that with zero restraint.

Stylized Owl

2023 03 24-25 day 274-275 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).

Daily piece #1 from 4/5.

Back to Procreate for this one.

Part of doing art daily is finding a style that I like. I feel like I have a style for my physical art, but finding something that works in digital has been a bit of a challenge.

I'm starting to like these simple geometric shape / color field pieces.

My week of monochrome takes a wild and dramatic turn.

"One wading a Fall meadow finds on all sides
The Queen Anne’s Lace lying like lilies
On water; it glides
So from the walker, it turns
Dry grass to a lake..."

Spent the evening touching up and reformatting this piece, then ordered my first archival quality giclée print.

It’s destined for the auction at this year’s # here in Fairbanks (by request, I’m tickled to report).

Napa Valley Grapes 🍷 watercolor

001/100 # # Blue hills, inspired by this photo: https://photog.social/@patrickgwalsh/109898056206694807

I think it was going very well until I got impatient toward the end. 😅 Although maybe when it’s dry, the feathering in the last layers will look more like trees than a mistake?

# question: I taped my paper & it still buckled like mad. Do I need heavier paper? Do I need to dampen & press it after I’m done? What do?

# # # # #
A monotone watercolor landscape. Blue hills recede into the distance, getting lighter in color as they get further away.<br /><br />The paper is badly buckled from the repeated washes, and the nearest (bottom-most) hills have feathered color into the hills above them.
 
I have a limited time discount on this 30 x 40 inch canvas print today and tomorrow only.

This is another of my recycled vintage artworks that I salvaged and gave it a modern abstract treatment.

It has a peaceful harmony that harkens back to a simpler time and would make perfect artwork for a laundry room or kitchen.

Only 3 prints available at this special price.

My cat resting by a window to the garden. Oil painting, 16x20.

This is the one time I painted Rainbow, our calico. As she enjoyed the sunlight at the window, I thought this would make a nice composition. It's one of my first oil paintings. I'm planning more cat paintings this year.

I drove part of the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Part in July 2021, but didn't make it all the way to Jasper - that's a pretty long day trip from Calgary. There are many scenic views along the way, like this one at Howse Lookout over the Saskatchewan River.
