Study is Exaltation IV
oil on canvas
12 x 16

Science is thought by some to be dry, technical, and quantitative. It is not. Study is exaltation. Fact is miracle. Number is portal. Understanding is joy. - STEVEN NIGHTINGALE

Story-ALTtext⬇️
An abstract landscape painting suggesting turbulent skies, water and a shoreline “Study is exaltation” - the phrase stops me in my tracks. Music to the ears of a painter. Yes, this repetition, this searching and refining and starting again and again, each time closer to something. There can be a giddy joy to it, a reverence, an exaltation.

Self-Portrait in Red and Gold Dress, 1941
"Self-Portrait in Red and Gold Dress" captures the iconic Frida Kahlo with her characteristic unibrow and direct gaze, a symbol of her resilience and introspection. The work, painted in 1941, reflects Kahlo's use of vibrant color and detailed adornment, drawing inspiration from her Mexican heritage and personal identity.

Today in war ravaged Portland, the endless drone of Blackhawk helicopters in the sky was drowned out by the shouting of these blooms. What were they yelling? RESIST! PROTEST! NO TROOPS IN PORTLAND!

Even the flowers have had enough of this nonsense.

"Fall is in the air" acrylic on 16x20 wooden panel that my husband built for me. And because it's painted on a wooden panel I hang this outside on my front porch every autumn. #art #intuitive #tree #autumn #leaf #original

Seed heads are the final stage of a wildflower's season. They dry out, curl up and hold onto their seeds through fall and winter until conditions are right to disperse.

For a small picture, Clarice Beckett's 'Beach Road, Beaumaris,' (c1919) is dramatic in its impact; looking through her paintings gives the impression she saw in soft focus - the fairly consistent lack of brushstrokes makes the paint appear to float on the surface of the canvas.

Oh, I like this road. I've been walking on it this last hour and haven't met a single car, bicycle, or fellow hiker. But I did see a deer and a rabbit.

We cannot afford a divided and weak opposition party when an authoritarian is invading our cities, terrorizing our communities, and corruptly self-enriching at the expense of the rest of us. We want to celebrate a Democratic Party that fights back. But after this latest surrender, the next step is primaries and new leadership. We get the party we demand, and we intend to demand one that fights.

Today in war ravaged Portland, color bombardment on buildings and walkways left passersby dazed and confused, wandering aimlessly in circles, blinded by beauty and creativity. Make it stop!
