I am not sure if the Stonelapper was responsible for taking down the owner of that skull, but by the look in his eye... probably? 

I don't know why.  A case of why not.  Exploring style is fun!  Stonelapper on a skull with samphire. 

One of many works in progress, I keep adding elements as time goes by. #artforbreakfast #whyart #myartwork #wantsomeartwork #vancouverartist #artinvancouver (at Surrey, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAI-MEcHLnp/?igshid=uz7pqyco94h6

Who else has a deep hatred when it comes to trying to draw backgrounds such as woods houses and don’t get me started on cars

06/03/2019 Just got off work to hit the paints! The second coats nearly there, next step, tonal values! Some people come home from work too tired to do anything creative but to me work cranks me up like a wind up toy, motivates me, inspires me, a nice little break from introspective reflection so that when I come home I can’t help but squirt out all the colours! It’s an outlet, a release for all that I’ve absorbed in a day, using myself as a vessel to turn all the suffering I’ve encountered into maybe something beautiful so that I may bring a little joy back in the world. Everybody’s been asking what it is I do when I’m not working as a nurse and so I have been sharing my pictures and it’s been so lovely to be able to put a smile on someone and if not raise an eyebrow of surprise, if not just for an itty bitty from all that is terrible. #artlife #artthoughts #artjourney #whyart (at Grange Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByRjiRHgHIJ/?igshid=mpurqsfhkp7u

I realised recently that my perception of the reality is never truly captured by the photographs, no matter how good the quality. Yet, somehow, even the roughest of sketches seems to convey the feeling quite successfully... one does wonder if with a bit of chalk my hand transfers a piece of experience into the page while a camera is just a soulless object and no energy can be felt through - just the very accurate record of every minute detail... #soapsandroses #florence #whyart #inspiration #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn7EechAQwc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lkh0gmr6vfz
