Finishing varnish on a 2x4 foot watercolor on various rice papers on mounted panel! The VanGogh watercolors and a little watered down Amsterdam Orange Reflux paints are really popping! The layering of it all has been a great joy! #createwithoutfear #royaltalensna #vangoghwatercolors #northshore

Newest painting video dropped! Here is the result, so far! Kristen and I bantering while I paint with Amsterdam Acrylics. We made the video for the interview I had with Royal Talens North America last Wednesday. Be well my friends! #art #visitduluth #amsterdampaint #royaltalens youtu.be/Bf-F8WsooJw

Painting in progress today with Rembrandt Soft Pastels on a 3x4 foot board. Painting it to Hania Rani playing. Always huge inspiration for the lyrical progressions of narrative! #haniarani #art #arte #abstract #painting #duluthart

How much more pain and suffering will this repugnant group of "people" inflict on all of us before we join together, put aside our differences and realize the path they have unleashed upon us?? Speak up, Stand up, Rise up!

I do NOT support expansionism! The continued destruction of the U.S. and global economy with his eyes on Canada, Greenland and who knows how much more is absolutely morally wrong!

Just a little 12 x 12 inch painting playing in the light, waiting for a home to move to. Lucky little painting sitting on top of the stack, playing in the sun! Be well my friends, spread kindness! #artsale #duluthart #duluthmn #sunshine #purple

Pentagon DEI Purge Targets Images of War Heroes, Military Firsts Over 26,000 references flagged after Pete Hegseth orders the removal of content highlighting diversity efforts in the Defense Department.

And the censorship, subjugation and rewriting of history continues... unconscionable removal of historic photos for the purpose of, well, stupidity and control of their narrative.

Hundreds of Children Are Among the Rape Victims of Sudan’s War, U.N. Says A report issued by UNICEF investigators described horrific abuses, affecting children as young as 1 year old, in the civil war in Sudan.

Mean while, as we are being absolutely stupid in the USA right now, atrocities continue around the world. The ongoing crap in Sudan is one of note: (I am so furious about this!)
