I like that you like it! :)

Finished: « Santa Justa Lift », oils on canvas, 50x70 cm, 2025.

Today’s efforts, 3 ish hours at the #placamartimmoniz. Fourth layer in the works, five layers total. #lisboa #oilpainting #jenniferhathawayart

Spent two hours and a bit down at the Plaza Martim Munoz this morning, working on this thing. Beginning of 3rd layer [of 5]. #plazamartimmunoz #lisboa #art #artist #jenniferhathawayart #oilpainting

Oh, and I forgot to post the third layer of this piece, two days ago: #lisboa #oilpainting #art #jenniferhathawayart

Yesterday was great, although very hot. A friend took me to see some antiquities on the outskirts of Lisbon. Nerd fun! Today not feeling well, so took a slow day. DID do a bit of underpainting on this piece, here in the apartment, tho. #art #lisboa #oilpainting #jenniferhathawayart #pleineairedaily

Spent a few hours this morning at the Plaza, putting the second layer onto this thing. Just building visual rhythms at this point. Still have a little bit of layer 2 to go, then things start to get interesting. #lisboaportugal #art #jenniferhathawayart #oilpainting #samba

Been busy, here in Portugal. Nothing’s done yet, but things are definitely under way.

Got up at the crack of WTH this morning and managed to put in a couple of hours before Maggie decided to get up [diva that she is]. Good underpaints. Four layers to go.

The coolest place in the camp during the midday heat is up at the laundry house. So Maggie and I sat up there enjoying the breezes and I started a drawing [not done yet]. La Farol at Sao Pedro de Moel #artist #jenhathart #rambler

What a ride. Finally made it to Portugal. Struggles, pain and trouble, but am here. Yesterday I started a little color study, this morning began the first painting in Sao Pedro de Moel. Lifting brush to canvas, finally, in this place brought me to tears. Wish me luck. Still having troubles. Adapt!

Sitting in Newark airport, waiting to board [about 1.5 hours to go]. Suitcase, bag, pets, and wagon all checked. This might just work!

Finally! Flying to Lisbon on 5/30. Sorting pets, etc for this trip has been the toughest part. Now it’s luggage time. Camping gear, best easel, some art supplies- sorting the rest once I’m there. Maybe I should pack some clothes? Will be posting here about our journeys [and artwork]. #Lisbon #art

The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way.

Everything else is a galaxy.

Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

Impressive cloud, yeah, but not the most amazing I've seen. FYI you need to go to north central Kansas [Salina-Abilene] right about this time of year, to see "super" clouds. Be warned: often it's accompanied by agoraphobia. Making photos that convey the scale is extremely difficult. 10 years there.

"Windows to Movement" [Grand Central series], mixed media on Bristol Plate, 16"x20", 1990something.

An old painting of mine: St Paulet Rooftops, oils, 16x 20, 2002.
Looking forward to returning to Europe ASAP to make a lot more like this. #france #artist #womenartists #oilpaintings

Dear @cnn.com,

The judge did not “vacate” the trial. He adjourned it. Then he appointed an amicus curiae to argue against dismissing the charges. Who writes your headlines?

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

"Firehose" propaganda is a Russian tactic that Trumpco is using to spew their foul garbage at a rate designed to overwhelm our senses. Meanwhile opposition work being done in courts, etc is not being covered because outrageous sells, and court's boring. Pete Buttegeig is doing some good work too.

The Bushco people are the ones who laid the foundations for this shiznit, Trump just hijacked it [for now]. So they're eager to take it back from him and aren't opposed to most of it. Obama's working with/for the [also corporatist] DNC but trying to keep the spotlight on newer people.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

This entire administration and its billionaire owner have proven themselves to be a danger to themselves and others. Can we give them a [military] Section 8 and just relegate them to a nice softly padded psychiatric golf resort while the grownups clean up their mess? I'm not really kidding, here...

I've decided it's all down to cowardice. They are too chickenshyte to own their cruelty, selfishness, and stupidity. Cowards. media3.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2l...
