Plein air painter at work, documenting police dressed in riot gear standing in front of police cars at the entrance of Alameda Coast Guard Island. Alameda California. Link to article: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/us/san-francisco-bay-area-protesters.html

Here is someone who inspired me today, located in my home town of Alameda California. In the early morning hours, this fine artist set up his easel in front of the Coast Guard station where Trump has deployed federal agents to harass and racially profile my friends and neighbors. Plein air protest!

We tried putting a cone on the cat but strangely she did not like it.

I made a friendship bracelet for J because he gave the kids cousin Andy’s rough weed.

Your kitties are so distinguished looking. I could picture them in Old Masters’ style artworks!

Almost done with the violets! I feel like this needs something underneath it. A word or two. Maybe just a signature. #artadviceneeded

I’m working on this oil painting right now as a gift to my friend. She’s not on Bluesky so I can share my progress here!
