Retired graphic designer here to see traditional fine art. No AI. No digital work. No filters. Used my old iPhone for photos. Any other art to come will be made with my hands. My profile changes as I become familiar with this platform and its' users.

Very nice, Mike. And congratulations on starting to make art again. I earned a BFA in 1988, and I went into the field of graphic design where I spent 30 years shackled to a computer.
Retired now, and starting to make art again the old fashioned way. It's exciting and a little intimidating.

My granddaughter is 11, and she is not on social media. And she doesn't have a phone. I agree that our country is such a scary place.

I am going to revise this little 27 year old painting. Now that I am over the pain maybe I can repurpose it!

Yeah. The hard pencil makes sense. I used to draw and paint on drafting film (when I was in school in the late 80's)...I still have one of the paintings that I did in 1998 and I am amazed that the pencil and paint did not dry and flake off the paper. I like using that film a lot.

It's really beautiful. The talent blows me away. I look forward to seeing the finished piece.

Hope it's ok if I ask. Does the paper have enough tooth to hold onto the pastel?

Beautiful. How did you set the white charcoal to the paper. some type of spray?

Kaweah Lake, in central California with red pillars of light over the mountain range from the aurora borealis.

A little bit of excitement from last night. The northern lights very rarely ever make it down into central California. Had to go out and see what I could capture.

Each mark began in stillness.
Each line carried a whisper.
As I drew, the woman began to emerge from quiet listening.

Thereโ€™s a moment when form becomes more than shapeโ€ฆ when it begins to feel alive.

Thatโ€™s the moment I wait for. #Spiritchat #KindledConnection #art #drawing #portrait

I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. The splash itself is the star. I could almost feel it. Really well done work!

I really appreciate how you paint the buildings in a very realistic way and then you get looser with the landscape. And I already recognize your signature sky style. This is beautiful.
