Absolutely thrilled that the buyer of my piece “And So the Infinite Division of Space and Time” received the painting this week and sent me images of it hanging in their home. I’m thrilled with how it looks! (See more of my work at carynvainioart.com)

I’m doing some simultaneous monoprint work with my current series. I go back and forth between printmaking and painting, using one to inform the other. This is one of the successful ones from a recent session in the studio. “Good Bones” Ink monotype on BVK Rives paper
I’ve collected all of my available prints and small works here for those looking for smaller pieces. There are only 2 left of the limited edition prints of “Chaos Cascadia 4”! carynvainioart.com/buy-prints
Each artist has their own ritual around the first marks on the canvas. My first marks are a declarative statement. They are the first moves in a chess game in which the marks will fight for territory against each other as they push and pull across the canvas over time.

LAUNCH DATE ANNOUNCEMENT! Forbidden Solitaire is officially launching NEXT WEEK, on April 30th! We unearthed a new trailer from the archives - an advertisement that originally aired in 1995! Wishlist on Steam and GOG: store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/Fo… gog.com/en/game/forbid…
I hate stretching canvas sooooo much. But I’m doing it because someone is buying the painting so I can’t be too sad about it.
New work: “The Rivers Form the Oceans That our Cradles Gently Ride” Acrylic and graphite on canvas 40” x 40”
Hey, guess what new checklist item I have when I enter the studio? “Check apron for spiders” ASK ME HOW I KNOW
A cooking competition show, but a dog is always underfoot
Friends! The “Tiny Windows” collection is live! If you’re interested in my smaller works, here they are, for a limited time: carynvainioart.com/collection-tin… — here are a couple of examples.

Someone asked if I could tell them where to buy a pair of good chinos. In this thread, I will tell you, but my answer is not simple. On the upside, I think this is a better approach when shopping for clothes and you can apply it to any kind of item. 🧵
Just a reminder that these tiny paintings go on sale today at 10am PT, and once they’re gone they’re gone! Details here: artworkarchive.com/profile/caryn-…
TINY ARTWORK FOR SALE TOMORROW! artworkarchive.com/profile/caryn-… I've made a bunch of tiny 3" x 3" ink pencil paintings over the last couple of months. I've selected 10 of them to float-mount as 6" x 6" frame-able paintings. They'll be made available for sale tomorrow at 10am PT!
Hexaboo 1.2 is live! A UI refresh, a hint system, and...THEMES! If you like the game, buying a theme for $0.99 is a great way to show your support! There are 6 themes with animated backgrounds. My favorite is Ocean Depths. hexaboo.com
If none of that makes any sense to you, don’t worry…I can barely describe it myself. Which is…why I make images. 🙂 You can find details on these pieces here: carynvainioart.com/monotypes-2021…
And what is that story? I can’t explain it. If I could, I wouldn’t have to paint & print it. It’s a story about disruption, interference both constructive and destructive, the hope of resolution with the reality of integration.
New pieces from the studio. I’m at an inflection point with my current work; there’s a lot going on in my head. I’ve had to make maps of how all the work I’m currently doing fits together, because it feels a jigsaw puzzle with some missing pieces yet to be discovered. 🧵
