Regarding Saving Copies of Art (IMPORTANT READ):
-
When art is downloaded and printed without compensation to the artist, it significantly impacts the artist's ability to make a living as a creator.
We can try, but we can't stop anyone from doing this if they really wanted to.
It's important to really think about what this means - if it becomes a normal practice for everyone, artists won't be able to afford to continue creating art.

Sapphire Siesta by the Falls
Sapphire Siesta by the Falls
As I painted "Sapphire Siesta by the Falls," I transported myself to a hidden glade where the world's noise fell away, replaced by the constant yet soothing sound of the waterfall. There, a Snorlax was napping, a gentle giant at one with its surroundings. I chose hues of blue and green to fill the canvas, colors that for me, evoke a deep sense of calm and belonging. I wanted the Snorlax to be a part of the scene, its presence as natural and unassuming as the rocks and the water itself.
The waterfall became a focal point in its own right, its flow steady and enduring. It was important to me that the strength of the water was apparent, yet it never overshadowed the Snorlax, who remains the heart of the story. I worked meticulously to show the texture of the rocks, the softness of the fur, and the interplay of light through the foliage. The dappling effect was an attempt to capture the transient nature of light, a reminder of the fleeting moments we experience.
In creating this scene, I imagined a narrative where Snorlax, after a day's journey, found solace by the waterfall. It was an everyday moment, yet one full of peace. As the creature settled into sleep, its breaths seemed to fall into rhythm with the waterfall's cascade, and in that synchrony, there was a sense of the world righting itself.
