Photograph of a beautiful black squirrel carrying a chestnut (I think) up a tree in Buffalo, NY on October 15, 2025)

“Squirrel!”

This “black squirrel” (actually an eastern gray squirrel with a gene mutation) was photographed a few blocks from my home.

Growing up, we used to only see them across the way in Canada.

I’m reading this right now! Highly recommended. Audio and print versions.

We don’t talk much about the *physicality* of creating. In my experience, it can be analgesic or painful (or neutral!), depending. Here is a watercolor painting of concentric weird “circles” in crimson, rose, and gold. On that cotton hotpress paper “everyone” seems to dislike (but is excellent for markmaking and lifting! Every paper will reveal its special uses over time and with practice! But then, I love paper…) Patterns lifted off through stencils. Stippled edges hint at an imaginary separation. Meditative and, with thanks and praise, felt GOOD to do. Painted on October 11, 2025 and posted on October 13th.

Another genuine particle.

Went a little nuts with the stippling, but a year ago I was in so much pain & headed for surgery; I couldn’t hold the pen for more than a couple of minutes. I’m working so hard at physical therapy, and any detail or exacting work means… good things. 🙏♾️

Broken pieces of an old salad bowl, showing some mold from fissures that had been forming, unknown, for a long time.

“Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the pieces with lacquer dusted with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, highlighting the cracks as part of the object's history rather than hiding them. The technique not only restores the item's functionality but also transforms it into something uniquely beautiful, symbolizing the acceptance and celebration of imperfection. Historically, it dates to the 15th century and is rooted in the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection and impermanence.”

Top view of the work in progress, showing gold mica ink drying in the crevices and cracks. Not food grade or appropriate for eating off or repeated washing… this bowl will hold something new…

Project: This was my favorite salad bowl. Perfect size and shape. Given to me 20+ years ago by a dear friend and it was already old then. I will use golden paint at the seams as a (very!) humble nod to kintsugi. This bowl will hold something new.

This bowl is a little like me.

This is stunning. I loved your Youtube video for this piece, and it’s delightful to see it here in my morning scroll. Thank you 🙏♾️

Photograph of the epigraph page for “American Tantrum” (2018) by Anthony Atamanuik. First quote: “‘I alone can fix it.’ - Donald Trump.” Second quote: “‘This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.’ - Plato.”

I agree!

Well said. I’m reading “American Tantrum,” and I agree.

My photo of David Byrne and company onstage in Buffalo, NY on Thursday, September 25, 2025. Performers sing, dance, and play instruments on a red-lit stage. A transfixed audience looks on. Hands in the air, *rapturous*.

Special week.

Lots to appreciate.

A pretty granulating mess of genuine earth pigment paints on cotton watercolor paper, in three segments because I wanted to. Fun! Meditative! A tiny win! With q-tips and graphite! Now, back to Monday!

“Autumnal equinox,” (but it’s a triptych)

Feeling a bit sad and defeated, but still found some time to reconnect with my genuine earth pigment paints for some messy abstract intuitive doodles.

Now, back to the less abstract concerns of a Monday day…

A Keepers of the Snow Memories post: Watching “Downhill Racer” (1969), a film starring Robert Redford and Gene Hackman, and directed by Michael Ritchie.

Perhaps I need a gently told story, with cooler temperatures, today. With thanks to my dear friend for recommending it. 🙏

A photo of a “Coffee with Tony” travel mug.

Thank you for this post. May I offer a warm beverage of your choice? I’m having coffee. 🙏☕️

Orange, magenta and purple blobs with various marks and some circles.

Bright watercolor shapes blending into each other. Graphite lines and scribbles.

Place from a dream I had. Purple. Crimson. Blue.

Swirls of yellow, orange, magenta. Stars. Empty quiet spaces.

My blood pressure went down *demonstrably* while creating these goofy cosmic dreamscape doodles.

I checked, before and after. Whether I liked the end result or not, systolic and diastolic both went down.

Screenshot from my first nondominant hand practice exercise I posted to Youtube in November 2024. A quote from “Homecoming” (1990) by John Bradshaw: “The greatest learning of my life is that creativity overcomes violation and is the answer to violence.” There is of course much more to it. But for me it was a “punctuated equilibrium” moment in my own personal journey.

I haven’t had enough time or space to *film* my nondominant hand practice exercises, but I still do them. 🙂 For healing, neuroplasticity, and because I want to!

This quote helps explain my POV, and the playlist shows some of my work.

Hi! I’m enjoying getting to know you through your art! Glad we connected here. Thank you for reaching out. 🙏 - Jenn

Doodles.

More doodles.

Three finished abstract booklets, with cleaned up edges and rounded corners.

Three finished abstract booklets, alternate orientation.

“controlled.” chaos.

Made some cute abstract booklets from my inner turmoil I mean messy doodles. Again. Easy and fun to do.

Search: “zine fold” to see how.

This was a lot of fun! Thank you for the heads-up 🙏
