I’m really trying to get better at posting unfinished work, and posting in general. I never got into the habit. But I can change! Here are two I’m working on right now!

My friend insists that this a painting about intrusive thoughts. That wasn’t my intent but my favorite thing about making art is that sometimes I get to help people see a feeling that doesn’t have language.

There is this demented ice cream truck that has been driving g around my neighborhood forever. It’s rusty, it is here in the cold and the rain, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anyone buy ice cream from it, and not completely sure it lives on this plane of existence. It is one of my lights of hope.

Heya! I got laid off a year ago and I haven’t found work but I’ve done a lot of painting. Here’s ’endless county roads,’ an oil painting ,30x40. It’s about how I was afraid of everything as a kid, particularly long drives in the county, but also going home, and growing up. #art #oilpainting
