#FebruARTY #FishyFeb

Oil on canvas. A large one!

#Painting #artyear #abstractart
Hard to describe! But an oil painting on large canvas - the background moves from ultramarine to pastel pinks to cerulean and then cobalt ish blue. The foreground is individual multicolour swirls with simple multicolour fish in amongst them.

I worry you’ve bloomed a little early…

A daffodil. Vibrant yellow fully open in January in the UK! Drops of dew hang onto its petals.

This anenome completely surprised me today, stealthily growing in a hidden pot. I planted it last year but completely forgot. The first vibrant colour in the garden 2026 🫶🏼🩷🌱 #Stunday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekCforCloseUp #FlowersOnSunday #JanuArty #JanuArty2026 #EastCoastKin

A bright pink anenome almost open, in a terracotta pot with green foliage around it.

Slightly late to #ForestFriday today and yes, it’s more of a wood … but man oh man was this beautiful.

A sunrise - low golden sun, silhouette of a tall wintry tree in the centre. A stream picking up the colours of the golden sunrise. A metal fence to the right and bushes framing the picture.

Two for #BlueMonday
I didn’t mean to paint in only blues this morning but the radio was on talking about blue Monday so it must have gone in.
Both acrylic on canvas. No titles yet.

An abstract painting with a watery like lower half and a cloudy top half. All blues and aqua marines below and cream and grey above. An abstract painting of a swirl of blues moving into white.

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows. I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.

“I think there is a state of being where you are so very tired, but unable to sleep.
Not because you have insomnia but because sleeping might mean you miss something vital - some small thing that lightens the endless exhaustion”

Lined up power puddle - Friday

#Phonetography
#EastCoastKin #smARTist #streetsofToronto #safeforsplashing #reflecty
Puddle at the sloped curb of a corner sidewalk. Three lines etched into the sidewalk line up with power lines and edge of a building reflected in the puddle. A streetlamp on a pole, as well as the top of a bare tree and a mostly cloudy sky, is also being reflected in the puddle. Debris is on the sidewalk in the foreground. The partially visible curb on left of puddle is red.

I’m in Lanzarote and the sky is just basically showing off. And I am (literally) here for it.

My sons have mixed Amarretto and Whiskey together and declared it a Whamaretto …. and that is the best name for a cocktail I’ve ever heard.

(Also to be known as an Amarrisky depending on the occasion and amount imbibed)

🍸 🥃

Happy New Year all!!
