After 2 decades working in media, I'm leaving to enroll in an MFA.

I'm proud of the career, but the burnout became real.

This #oilpainting evokes feeling dried up, yet looking forward.

The girls are fighting, aren't they?

What a week.

This #painting is 'Year of the Rooster', 28x48 inches, oil on canvas.

The rooster is my #chinese #zodiac sign. #Roosters are brave, observant, and talented.

In the wrong circumstances they can tend towards self-righteousness.

"Like Fighting Water", oil on wood panel.

#Betta #fish are known for their confrontational nature and aggressive displays of beauty.

Even in situations that seem pointless, I like to think that asserting confidence with unapologetic style can boost inner strength.

I also like painting with watercolors. Just getting my feet wet. I like the ethereal feel to this painting.

Glaze & Nightshade EVERYthing posted, everywhere. If they want to steal, let them steal poisoned data!
I'm sorry, what?!

Also, I'm losing my mind over the proliferation of this term "publicly accessible" in the context of AI training. Copyright law still exist, sharing something to be VIEWED by the public doesn't strip the work of its legal protections!

A bit different style...

"Omen of the Sundog", #gouache #paint and #ink on #paper.

A #Sundog occurs when the sunlight refracts through ice crystals high in the atmosphere.

Historically, they are seen as a sign of change: an omen of good or bad luck. Contemplating interesting times...

Sometimes you just have to show up and start playing around to get anywhere. This is the result of today’s studio practice.

Transport options in #Yellowknife: #dogsledding, or #snowmobiling...

What a handsome fella this doggo was. Small and fast, but densely packed with muscle. 💪

Ride up to the Snowking's #Winter Festival for ice sculptures and live music in -26C!

Here's an old painting of mine called "Greed". I stumbled across it recently and thought that it sums up the atmosphere around here pretty well.I was going to paint over it but ended up hanging it up instead.I feel like a fortune teller. #painting #acrylics #art #fantasy #dystopia
