4x6 Inch pieces
2024
Acrylic on paper or loose canvas
Showing my favorite 20 out of about 50 pieces total made in the test.
This series was made in response to a friend who was looking for a small piece to fill a space on her wall. She set the size and made a verbal request for colors. It was kind of funny and taught me that people describe colors so very differently.
I was testing different papers to finalize one type that I would be using in the future and to see how the paint reacted with the different types of substrates.
Some of the pieces will end up mounted to be hung, but most will be turned into cards (because I didn't size them right when I cut them and they didn't fit). All of them will be used though.
Thank you für viewing, faving and commenting!
Most of the time the photographer is not on it´s photos excepted selfies, mirrors, may be some reflections...
I like to play with my shadow - depending on the substrate the result can be very interesting I think!
Yellow (or white, or pink) Pulsatilla, also commonly known as mountain anemone, is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Ranunculaceae family. Its name derives from the Greek "anemone," meaning "wind," and the Latin "agitare," referring to the oscillating motion of its flowers in the wind. It grows wild in European alpine and subalpine pastures, especially on limestone or dolomitic substrates, at altitudes between 1,200 and 2,500 meters.
Thank you very much for the comments , favorites and views ❤️
Forgive me for repeating myself throughout each photograph but I'm not expecting you, the viewer, to look at each shot I have taken ... of course I would be delighted if you did.
I diagonally cut a small selection of white pieces of paper and fanned them out. What you see is the shots taken at various apertures, angles and direction of light. I found the simplicity effective and pleasing, I hope you do too? Thank you for taking the time to look at them.
Paramonacanthus japonicus inhabits weedy and sandy areas of coastal reefs. This Japanese leatherjacket is found on open muddy substrates from shallow estuaries to deep offshore. The males elongate with age and these fish are monogamous.

Dust bathing (also called sand bathing) is an animal behavior characterized by rolling or moving around in dust, dry earth or sand, with the likely purpose of removing parasites from fur, feathers or skin. Dust bathing is a maintenance behavior performed by a wide range of mammalian and avian species. For some animals, dust baths are necessary to maintain healthy feathers, skin, or fur, similar to bathing in water or wallowing in mud. In some mammals, dust bathing may be a way of transmitting chemical signals (or pheromones) to the ground which marks an individual's territory.
Birds crouch close to the ground while taking a dust bath, vigorously wriggling their bodies and flapping their wings. This disperses loose substrate into the air. The birds spread one or both wings which allows the falling substrate to fall between the feathers and reach the skin. The dust bath is often followed by thorough shaking to further ruffle the feathers which may be accompanied with preening using the bill.
Since we saw a Cattle Tyrant, a few more...From Wiki:
The WHMT captures most of its prey at the water's surface. Its next most commonly used foraging substrate is in the air, followed by live leaves. They tend to perch low on small marsh plants (less than 2 meters high) and attack their prey at a distance of 3 to 4 meters from their initial position. They typically target prey that is at or below their height while perched, and they less frequently attack at a high flight angle.[8] Once they catch their prey, they promptly return to their perch, as they are rarely found on the ground.
Both female and male marsh tyrants participate in feeding their juveniles. The main differences are that the female marsh tyrant hunts at greater distances and makes more frequent visits to the young compared to the male. Moreover, the female is more active in maintaining a sanitary environment for the nestlings.
Dacrymyces palmatus
Jelly is a bit of a misnomer, the texture is better described as Gummy Bears. They’re rubbery feeling when poked and prodded and definitely won’t spread on toast.
Commonly called Witch’s Butter but true Witch’s Butter is a different genus/species Tremella mesenterica. One way to tell the difference is the substrate they grow on. Witch’s Butter/hardwood — Orange Jelly/evergreen (hemlock, pine)
Both are edible if boiled. Often used to add some texture to soups

Ingmar Bergman's iconic film from 1957. During the Black Death in Sweden, it tells of the journey of the medieval knight Antonius Block (Max von Sydow) and a game of chess he plays with the personification of Death (Bengt Ekerot) to gain some time.
Bengt Ekerot's Death makes a perfect b&w contact print substrate with way less exposure time needed compared to standard analog printing from a medium format negative. I think this one was 1.8 sec.
Block: Who are you?
Death: I am Death.
Block: Have you come for me?
Death: I have walked at your side for a long time now.
Block: That I know.
Death: Are you prepared?

Orchis militaris (Orchidaceae) 165 21
Orchis militaris (military orchid) is a species of orchid native to Europe. It is the type species of the genus Orchis.
This plant grows to a height of 20 to 50 cm with a robust stem with rather drawn up oblong basal leaves. The inflorescence forms a purplish dense cone consisting of from 10 to 40 flowers. In each flower the sepals and side petals are gathered together to form a pointed "helmet" (whence it gets its name), a lilac colour outside and a veined purple colour inside. The central tongue finishes in two lobes separated by a tooth.
Depending on location, it flowers from April to June.
It is well distributed around Europe, reaching as far north as southern Sweden, but rather rare in the Mediterranean areas.
Likes full light on a dry calcareous substrate. For example, unfertilized lawns, meadows, edges and light woods up to 2000m in altitude.

Numenius americanus. Native to western North America and Central America. Long-billed curlews often feed in flocks. Using the long bill, an individual probes the mud or other substrate for suitable food, which consists of crabs and various other small invertebrates. Found in Bolivar Flats, an Audubon sanctuary, Bolivar peninsula, Texas.
The Cattleya maxima has had a seed pod since November 2022. Now it is mature and ready to be sown.
