Still painting dark forests~

#TraditionalArt#Gouache#Painting#LandscapeArt#Forest#Nature #mosstodon

A photo of an open sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by branches, hag stones, palo santo, and leaves for decoration. The left side of the sketchbook spread shows two gouache paintings, the top (and larger) one featuring a misty conifer forest with mossy ground and bright white back lighting. The bottom one shows pale blue light filtering through a dark conifer forest. The right side also features two gouache paintings; the top one of a very misty, monochrome conifer forest, and the bottom one of a dark conifer forest with mossy ground and pale sunlight coming in from the left.

Reining in global carbon dioxide emissions would reduce the risk of major changes in the Antarctic but still not prevent them. Once we start losing Antarctic sea ice, we set in a self-perpetuating process. Even if we stabilise the climate, we will still lose Antarctic sea ice over many centuries to come.

"To keep Earth habitable, humanity must recognize the value of Antarctica and seek to save it from irreversible damage.

Far from being a remote, isolated continent, Antarctica is integral to Earth’s climate and life-support systems.

Its vast ice sheet stores more than 90% of the planet’s surface fresh water and influences sea levels, circulation of the atmosphere and how much sunlight the planet reflects.

Around Antarctica, the Southern Ocean acts as the lungs of the deep sea, accounting for roughly 40% of the global ocean’s uptake of carbon dioxide emissions generated by human activities, shaping how seawater mixes and distributes nutrients to support marine life around the globe."

I'm looking away from our world for a moment.

I'm looking at the little dot in this image.

It's a newborn planet, 5 times the mass of Jupiter, carving a path through the disk of dust around its star. This is the first time we've seen the process clearly.

We are watching a new planet come into the cosmos.

What appears to be a ripple in space, is today’s Picture of the Week depicting a newborn planet eating its way through its dusty cradle as it orbits its host star. This image, taken with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, is the first clear detection of a baby planet in a disc with multiple rings. These so-called protoplanetary discs surround young stars and appear as disc-shaped structures of gas and dust, often with rings like the one in this image. They are the birthplace of planets, and the rings are thought to indicate the presence of (hungry) planets in the disc. Initially, little particles in the spinning disc begin to accumulate and grow as gravity takes over, stealing more material from the native disc until they evolve into embryo planets.

Cool and clear with almost no humidity this morning. I call that "dog weather" because they're ready to go and go and go — nothing will stop them. Except dried earthworms. The dogs think of it as dried worm season. 🤢😂

Have a good day.

Photo of two dogs at the ends of extended leashes, walking in the street by the the curb. One dog at the end of a pink leash is a brown and black brindle pit bull mutt. She is wearing a pink collar. The other dog at the end of a yellow leash is a small light brown and white terrier mutt. There is a scraggly green lawn with exposed patches of soil behind them.

Photo of sunlight streaming into the woods. There are many tall, dark, leafy trees filling the scene. The trunks are brown, black and gray. The leaves are green. The sunlight streams in from one point where the golden morning sun sparkles and shines.

INNER MONSTERS

Inner Monsters don't necessarily look like "real" monsters. They are part of that constant chatter going on in the background of our own minds, shaping our view of the world. They can appear in a variety of forms, from human, animal, monster-like, even as plants! Most of us... ahem... keep our inner beasties tucked "safely" in the closet, hoping they won't decide to reveal themselves at inopportune times, causing all manner of embarrassing moments, like sudden extreme shyness, unexplained crying jags, overwhelming crankiness, or laughing out loud for no apparent reason, among others. Sound familiar?

The solution is (drum roll please...) to MEET your inner monsters, SEEK to understand them, EMBRACE them as yours, and then LEARN about yourself through them. Bring them out of your personal inner-verse and set them free!
