Intro time! I’m Olive and I love painting skies and light. I hope to find other sky lovers here. If you’re always looking up, please say hi and connect! This is one of my favourite paintings: “Irresistible Grace”, 30”x60” acrylic on canvas #art #acrylicpainting #canadianart #sky #clouds #sunsets

Olive, a straight sized Asian woman wearing glasses, a black top, and navy cropped pants, stands next to a large canvas propped on an easel, with a smile on her face. On the canvas is a painting of the sun setting behind a peninsula of land with the ocean waves coming toward the shore which is in the foreground. The sun glints along the water’s surface.

Hey Olive! I'm a Californian who split to Costa Rica 8 years ago. Mango Mussolini. Ay caramba. I walk the 3 dogs every sunup and sundown, hoping for exceptional colors. That's like 700 opportunities a year. Good job flying spaghetti monster!

Beautiful! I really thought this was in oils. You've achieved such richness with the acrylics.

Your post really speaks to me! Looking up so much these days it's a wonder i haven't tripped over yet! A fellow painter inspired by how light plays, and clouds and mountains. From Bundjalung country in northern NSW, Australia.

Hi Amelia! Nice to “meet” you! Sounds like we have a shared love for skies. 😊 I find that looking up somehow settles me, esp when the world is heavy. Looking forward to seeing your work!

Amelia Reid @outofclouds.bsky.social

It's amazing, I even have a painting similar to the first one you posted of clouds in the circle frame, I will dig it up and send you a photo. I thought - I have to reach out to this person! I'm new to this platform too, slowly leaving the big ones, but it's tricky with art, instagram is so dominant

I totally hear you. I don’t feel like I can leave Instagram quite yet but I wanted to look for alternatives. So far, I’ve found some great connections here (like yourself!).
