I am #reading this #book right now, and really enjoying it. Encyclopedic and interesting, it is a very current #read on our #culture and how that connects to and shapes our #thinking and #politics. He's put enough in context that I now shake my head at humanity rather than just at my gullible peers

I am reading Blank Space right now, just finishing 2016 - 2019 and I am really enjoying it. As a 64 yo I've been both confused and angry at what is happening politically here in the USA. You've put enough of it in context that I can now shake my head at humanity rather than just at my gullible peers

New painting from the window of my studio yesterday
February, oil on canvas, 20" x 16" #oilpainting #February #blizzardof26 #art #greenfieldma

Worcester is NOT western mass, get out to where there be dragons. Beyond the CT River is a different state all together, of mind and location

Whoa dude, leave Western Mass out of it. Kraft's hammer swingin' army of Dunkin' Regular insurrectionists are mostly from the south shore. I moved from that Irish Riviera to the mostly liberal 413 many years ago

Just finished #reading North Woods by Daniel Mason. Highly recommended, especially if you have a Western #Massachusetts connection. A richly layered and beautifully written #book. #northwoods #westernma #westernmass

Hmmm I wonder who can do something, maybe someone like a Congressman???

#Ballpoint #sketch of an #illuminated #manuscript

I recently started #writing an actual daily to-do list, which has morphed to include a daily #ballpoint pen #drawing in a #moleskine. A great way to start and/or end my day without a screen. #art #artwork

I’m #working on something interesting these days, a #mural for a #conservation center on the #Hudsonriver. This will eventually be enlarged 3:1 and installed as a vinyl graphic. #painting #sycamore #spatterdock #bullrush #arrowarum #baldeagle #salamander #esopuslighthouse #Albany

Just got my last roll of #film from the fall developed and scanned. #Kodak #Portra800 shot on my #NikonFE2 in #Wellfleet and #Greenfield and #Montague #Massachusetts #filmphotography

What’s next? Another #novel staring me down for several years from the bookshelf. “The Dream of Scipio” by Iain Pears #reading #paper #books #slowdown #historical #fiction

A month later, and finished this #book this morning. Too much to review here, but I will say I wished I had begun this with a stack of post-it notes to mark every #quotable passage. There are sections I will read again and again. #Russian #novels #classics #Dostoevsky #fiction #epic

So I finally went in. This #book has been taunting me from my #bookshelf for several years. I’m about a third of the way through, and really enjoying it. #Russian #novels #classics #Dostoevsky

My old #Nikon FE2 sprung a light leak. I replaced the bad seals, which was a straightforward but very delicate job. The #scans just came back from a test roll of #Tri-X, also my first time using a red filter. #filmphotography #blackandwhitephotography #35mm #mtgreylock #photography #selfie #analog

His decline is more evident the Biden's was. Every GOP accusation is a confession.

Getting there, one #monotype at a time. #art #bskyart #inkyhands #worksonpaper #contemporaryart #grid #green

I came here to say exactly that! Zero chance.

Another single #monotype in the grid (column-b; row-3) two posts ago.
