A still life comprised of dead weeds and found objects. A glove shape with a French Franc that has Lady Liberty on it covered by a large convex glass lens.

A black and white image of dead plants and spiky things on the grid of a large oak paper cutter. There is a bird’s nest in the lower right middle with one small egg inside.

Thank you! It was a fun but laborious endeavor. My work is always examining the relationship between painting and photography. I have wax all over the house 😝

We creatives are needed now more than the world realizes. We have the America Americans apparently want since 90 million of us didn’t bother to vote in the last election.

I don’t think many MAGA would change their minds. I think about all of those religious cults who gathered together for the apocalypse, or the return of Christ, and just doubled down on their beliefs instead of recognizing the scam for what it is.

A warm black and white image that is very dark. Organic shapes cluster around the beating heart of sorrow with great spiny teeth at its opening.

The Invocation of Sorrow

It’s quite frightening, I wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety. The Democrats really need to get it together and become a unified voice that appeals to everyone, quit calling Republicans stupid and figure out a way to welcome the disaffected.

Hi Carol Anne! Yay! It’s so good to hear from you. ❤️

There is a stalk of crushed flowers obscured in part by fog-like grasses in a warm black and white to tickle your textural senses.

The Temptations of Time

A warm black and white image of a patch of dead grass next to living grass. It is a strong vertical composition with interesting abstract shapes. Someone who enjoys pareidolia would be fascinated.

Thanks so much!

The wilted blooms of a Datura arranged in a row on a grid with other small elements of animal teeth, a string of hearts all entangled in a lithe vine.

The Temptations of Virtue

Whirls and swirls of dead grass with new growth here and there. A group of plants that curlicued in their desire for growth sits in the middle upper third, sparse new long leaves of grass are in the bottom third standing in stark relief to killed grass.

A warm black and white image of dead grass revealed by the removal of a wading pool. There is a triangular dark area of plants that grew along the edge.

Questions of Balance

An abstracted image of dead grass under where a pool had been. Little curlicues of nascent life amidst the dead grass, subtle pastels of light gold and blue-white with a touch of roseate pink here and there.

One of my favorites!

C'est une série d'images très forte, brava !

Excellent!

So that’s today’s lede? WTF WAPO!?!

Thank you for resisting!
