The first homo sapiens only appeared about 300,000 years ago. <br/><br/>They are considered to be a keystone species.<br/><br/>As oak trees live for a long time people used to connect this longevity to wisdom. It is said that people would seek the advice of oak trees when making important decisions.<br/><br/>#art #illustration #nature #folklore #MastoArt #oak #leaf #trees<br/><br/> <img src="https://files.mastodonapp.uk/media_attachments/files/113/952/172/167/439/856/original/3a5bd59983a89388.jpeg"> 2025-02-05T16:16:01Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9ck7ymwpk4660sfzkr3mlwsr7apuclkmujkwh4e64jlcewyeveqgzyzy3v2f37mhd5g4gr555knlcf6glpjahrnfrv9trf3w2vyjmmpdczvcxmkw When you’re hardly having to move a 0.05 nib the details are probably small enough 😅<br/><br/>#art #illustration #wildflowers #nature #MastoArt #wip #FediArt<br/><br/><video controls width="100%" class="max-h-[90vh] bg-neutral-300 dark:bg-zinc-700"><source src="https://files.mastodonapp.uk/media_attachments/files/113/939/921/141/391/843/original/1f128f180ebf87ed.mp4"></video> 2025-02-03T12:20:34Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqswx879kaqdc9xyjq3re6cmrkefdcn07gs908nnrjvhfk5g7gayjrczyzy3v2f37mhd5g4gr555knlcf6glpjahrnfrv9trf3w2vyjmmpdcze72zmf Soon I will be retiring all of these designs (including posters and the black versions of the white ones) from the Spreadshirt shop. <br/><br/>So if you’ve been wanting one of them, now would be the time to treat yourself (or someone else) as I won’t be bringing them back. <br/><br/>Plus there is free postage available for the next few days<br/><br/><a href="https://tamzincavendish.com/spreadshirt/">https://tamzincavendish.com/spreadshirt/</a><br/><br/>#art #illustration #MastoArt<br/><br/> <img src="https://files.mastodonapp.uk/media_attachments/files/113/935/389/917/946/921/original/b42fb7897a86a5af.jpeg"> 2025-02-02T17:08:07Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0zfn32zhlvakle5296vuugyews7keeqrxhsgkhm43mnq0nv4td9gzyzy3v2f37mhd5g4gr555knlcf6glpjahrnfrv9trf3w2vyjmmpdczzxtkx9 In an ideal world I would love for the fediverse to be my one and only way of reaching people, of keeping a roof over my head and feeding myself, of paying my bills.<br/><br/>I have no idea if that will ever be the case, I hope so, one day.<br/><br/>I’m no longer on TikTok, I left Meta a while ago, X ages ago.<br/><br/>The problem is, trying to do the right thing means that the opportunities to show my work and try to make a living are shrinking by the day. <br/><br/>I don’t want to be in a position where I have to compromise my morals and ethics just in order to survive.<br/><br/>For reasons I won’t go into, this is my only source of income, that is pretty scary, especially as last year was so difficult for many creatives.<br/><br/>I’m fortunate to have sold my work to people all over the world who have been delighted with their new artwork so I know what I want (need) to achieve is possible.<br/><br/>It may not be perfect, but I have met some wonderful people here at least 🖤 2025-02-02T15:31:43Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsd52s9qy5vw926mdj3aqu0g3dgu0twp03kty26pec0n0h2af2h9uszyzy3v2f37mhd5g4gr555knlcf6glpjahrnfrv9trf3w2vyjmmpdcze4y6dm Apparently it’s the year of the snake 🐍 so I thought I’d show off this piece<br/><br/>In this post I explain the symbolism behind the Snake &amp; Cherry Blossom artwork <a href="https://tamzincavendish.com/the-snake-and-the-cherry-blossom/">https://tamzincavendish.com/the-snake-and-the-cherry-blossom/</a><br/><br/>Also limited edition hand embellished prints are available from my website now 🌸<br/><br/>#art #illustration #nature #blossom #snake #YearOfTheSnake #MastoArt #symbolism<br/><br/> <img src="https://files.mastodonapp.uk/media_attachments/files/113/913/161/193/738/396/original/bb97a28f66041328.jpeg"> 2025-01-29T18:55:02Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyn8ld8x5kk6n9j3tqnq5x20y203rt28s22thhuq35w6lqgprg2zszyzy3v2f37mhd5g4gr555knlcf6glpjahrnfrv9trf3w2vyjmmpdcz7vg8wp Bees symbolise wisdom, rebirth, and industry.
