Bob Marley

We could all learn a little something from his words.🫶 I researched birds and flowers from Jamaica for this project. The bird on the left is actually on a Jamaican stamp… and speaking of birds

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

Good morning friends! I have attached a video here that explains quite simply how to use your domain name as your handle here on Blue Sky for a more professional look. Not to mention it makes you more verifiable. Great for fighting fake accounts too. youtu.be/BPPwNy0FxjM?...

This was a very special piece to design and paint.

I commissioned a local artist to paint our cats. I asked for a Gustave Klimt feel with lots of gold and some poppies. Artist: Penny Beck of Cape May NJ. Meanwhile I got to work on building a frame for it! #localart #buylocal #artists #collage #cats #blackcat #whitecat #catart #catpainting #painting

Probably the craziest frame I ever built for any of Elise’s paintings. Carved with an Xacto knife on a hand-drawn pattern, because I don’t know what I’m really doing. But someone fell in love with it! Sold through SOMA Gallery and now hanging in its new home 😍 #art #artists #painters #oilpainting

The stained-glass windows of Ste. Chappelle will always be my favorite (Chartres is a close 2nd); a must-see every time we return to Paris.

I got Elise a few round canvases awhile back and realized that they were going to require rather unique frames. Putting the finishing touches on two octopus-inspired handmade frames to go with her portraits. Shown here is “Breaking Silence” (Zoe Kravitz) 20” round, oil on canvas, Elise Bond, *sold*

In case it needs to be said, you don’t have to be LGBTQ to enjoy Philly’s “Gayborhood” section. I can honestly say it’s the nicest area for an enjoyable morning stroll. The eateries and shops are top notch. And a man even blew me a kiss when I passed him on the street. How friendly!
