An oil painting study of a woman with a pink dress colorful head wrap and forthright expression on a table easel in a messy studio

Who loves little paintings? Some of my paid work is getting much more abstract so I find that the “just for me” work takes on opposite characteristics. Only 5x7 inches oil on a panel.

Before and after of a landscape painting with an ochre underpainting the first image shows a sketch of green on ochre the second shows the painting of a lavender field with trees completed in lavender and gray colors

How it started/how it ended -

the influence of underpainting may not wind up being highly visible but you can see why I like to do it.

I almost never paint on a white surface now unless using watercolor.

a lavender field and a line of trees painted in a loose style in oil with green light yellow and violet colors in harmony

Color is a kind of personal magic. What do you gravitate to? What can you observe on the palette before you even pick it up?

wrapping this oil on canvas up and stepping back put me into such a moment of peace and balance

Watercolor painting of farm and large sky with muted color and flat field

The what’s on my desk game - work in progress, watercolor on a rougher cold press paper than I usually use.

a pine forest clearing with clouds and blue sky patches, painted in a traditional heavily layered watercolor with realistic but romantic feel

Never taken for granted.

“Here’s what it would take to transform Canada from a nation to a state.”

I have never been high enough to utter this seriously. What’s it like?

A hazy and romantic watercolor landscape with traditional feel, warm green trees and a light gray sky

Another time, another place. Or...same time, same place.

A new 5x7 watercolor. While I'm tempted to add a touch more detail, I think it's better to take it out on a different painting. :)

Organic abstract watercolor painting in pink and aqua and gray tones

Do remember to breathe and hydrate.

This busted world needs what you've got.

mixed media abstract art with markmaking and light washes of gray and pink watercolor, an intense red focal point, suggestive of landscape with hills

Heart in the Distant Hills

Watercolor, mixed media

Maybe for a moment it is okay to imagine yourself
in an ideal place, deep within, but far away.

a looping abstract watercolor and ink painting with lozenge shapes and dots, inspired by mid century mod design, light aqua and reddish brown colors with black and gray

Looping
watercolor and mixed media

what peace, flow, and gentle currents feel like
breathe in. breathe out. ground. then resume.

Jesus wept. Here's a cookie. You still voted yes on some of them, go tell the people you thought that was appeasing.

If the objective is to grow the "they all suck equally" sentiment, way to go whoever's running coms.

WAPO isn't literally voting to confirm them.

Get yourself right or stand aside for the handful of serious people in your party.

If we ever have elections again I swear I will see you primaried. Your seat was safe you didn't have to do this.

The Eisenhower matrix alive and well in your office I see.

Is this some other Klobuchar I've never heard of because no.

Thank you!

A harmonius springtime landscape image with patchwork fields and blue skies in thick oil paint in a square format

Lessons from the studio:
The tactile drag of oils on panel is a lifeline in tough times.
Pointing toward the light isn't the easy thing, it's the hardest thing.

thank you for giving "we're not all like that" Christians a cohesive and clear assignment. I hope they take it up, and I admire you.

Aw, thank you! Means the world.

Have a pretty lil abstract. I know, it's not much, but it's what I got. #goodvibes #colorful #painting #artwork

an assortment of colorful semiabstract floral watercolors in a modern style and bright colors

Some blasts from the past, florals in analog watercolor digitally compiled are my thing. #watercolor #illustration #artlicensing #artwork #floral

Thanks. This original is available here: www.etsy.com/listing/1845... I don't do NFT.

an impressionistic oil painting of rows of lavender and a mid distance shack with blue skies and subtle green hills in the distance as well

So thrilled that this beauty is also sold and nearly on its way to its lovely home with a collector.

The geometry and color of this kind of scene is so inspiring. Lavender does represent a clean break - one we might wish to make or are making.

lavender flowers in rows point toward a distant road in this impressionist style oil paintng

It's such a joy when the work lights a spark and finds its ideal home.

This 11x14 was my first painting completed this year. First non-sketchbook thing, I'd say. Happy with how it came out.

Layered watercolor paintings of greenery and roses hanging on a line with bows

Looks like I fired up this venue just in time for #portfolioday!

I create wall art licensing collections for the trade. I cover a lot of subjects. Florals with a vintage nostalgic feel are an uplifting joy to paint. #artlicensing #decor #illustration
