I realized I haven’t really “introduced” myself here, and I’m still navigating downloading everything from the other🙄 place, so here’s my face a bunch of times starting in 1996.
(I’m turning 45 soon, which makes that first photo 30 years ago. 📟💾📼📜👵🏻.)

This is a perfect version of a painting subject and pose (tree and all) I’ve flopped at many times 😂. Glad to finally see what it looks like when it turns out well. 🏆

This painting caused me to immediately follow you…the trouble was, I already had 😆
Please know I think it’s that great. :)

For today’s #MakersmARTch #MkrsmARTch prompt, #fire , a sad reflection on the traumatic school fire experienced by singer, Jackson C Frank, that led to his writing the song, Marlene. Whew. Heavy stuff!But, one of my most cherished paintings.
