I think this painting at China Bar in the Auburn State Recreation Area captures the #Bright light of that summer morning. Why was I choosing to paint while squinting into the sunlight when it was already over 90 degrees Fahrenheit at 9AM? The world may never know. #BlueSkyArtShow

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.
KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.
His reply was a doozy.

For #BlueSkyArtShow this week, I am sharing a quick painting from quite a while ago that was inspired by grasses growing near a pile of fallen leaves in the sun.
This week's theme is #Autumn.

I was trying to figure out what art I have that would showcase the theme for today, #inside
And then I realized, this skull used to be inside of a wildcat.
This was done in carbon dust, a typical medium for medical illustration.

Today's theme is #vertical which makes me realize I focus on horizontal quite a bit.
Anyway, these sunflowers have strong vertical stalks.

The Oatmeal made a great comic about AI:

It doesn't cover the massive environmental costs, but it's a pretty good statement on the necessity of human creativity.

Today I am sharing this painting of Grassnut flowers, also known as Ithuriel's Spear, with the glow of sunshine coming through the petals.

Years ago, I painted my husband on a vacation, playing video games on his laptop. It was such a peaceful day.

For today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme #TheRoad I am sharing one that I didn't really like, but looking at it again I see there are aspects that I appreciate. The flowers on the right are a very pale variety of Ithuriel's Spear, aka Grassnut.

Last weekend, I was at UC Davis for the YoloArts.org August farm visit.
Bringing art & agriculture together, and here, ag science.
It was hot enough that my phone decided to stop taking pictures, but otherwise a great day.
Scientists are out there trying to improve food, medicine, life...

Here's an old one for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Shiny
I had a boring temp job at the time, so I drew this at work.

Today's #BlueSkyArtShow is #pieces which seems like a good fit for my Oak Tree painting that was done on 20 8" squares of black watercolor paper.

One of the things I love about living in California is the fresh produce all year. But that wouldn't be possible without thousands of hardworking farm laborers.
