Pottery, drawing, various arts. Love the touch of the handmade. SF Bay area.

Somewhat abstract landscape I drew with the restriction of using only one brush size, opaque only. I like to think of stories to go with such images. Is the red object tilted because of the aftermath of some event? #art #landscape #abstract #colorful #digitalart #surreal

Over the years I've painted from many photographs. It exercises skills around many aspects of drawing and painting, and as long as you understand the limitations can be very fruitful.

Pumpkins are the opposite vessels of pottery, ephemeral, impractical, rotting in days. It's strange that I've spent time on such mayfly art. I nevertheless love pumpkins, sand paintings and Goldsworthy-type arrangements easily erased by time.

Sometimes it's important to just play around and not worry to much about what you're making. Try and surprise yourself!

Hope you enjoy this painting of a fuyu persimmon.
In bright seasons I foolishly try and paint things when natural things are so beautiful already. The reality of the objects can highlight the artifice.
Or, as the kids say: touch grass.

I sometimes enjoy a light sketch of an idea more than a finished painting of fully recovered scene. I'm not really sure what's going on here but I like it. What are these creatures doing? They seem pretty chill. #sketch #surreal #drawing #digitalart

I don't often make with porcelain because it's so fiddly to work with, but if you make it thin enough it's translucent. This spiral-design tumbler glazed celadon inside and reduction fired to cone 10. #pottery #porcelain #sunlight

An amazing essay by @shing.bsky.social at @sarahgailey.bsky.social's newsletter Stone Soup that was exactly what I needed to read today.
It's about making weird little guys, and how important that is.

It's homegrown tomato time where I am. Such a luscious food! I painted this one years ago, I think I used GIMP. #art #painting #digitalart #tomato

Sometimes when I've made something there's a part of me that says "sure it's pretty... but not very *practical*". But this bowl is not much more difficult to clean & use than a regular one. Harder to stack?
The green glaze is Cushing matte green, stoneware fired to cone 10 in reduction. #pottery

I always liked the complicated linework on old engravings when the artist needed different shading, and how it added to texture as well as tone. #illustration #lineart #b&w #portrait
