Leaving a 15 year art following built on Twitter (refuse to call it the stupid X moniker). Loving 💙🇺🇸 support here and also hoping to connect with artists, musicians and other creatives (and non-fascists in general). ✌️❤️ #watercolor #landscapepainting #pintura #oilpainting #mixedmedia #sketchbook

He’s disappearing innocent people off of our streets and ordering the military onto our streets. He does not give a damn about the rule of law. He is the very tyrant our founding generation rose up against 249 yrs ago. It’s time for the American people to rise up again.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil.
It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Wish these blooms would hang around longer, but the delicate things in nature seem to be ephemeral.

Mandarin duck in watercolor
The colorful Mandarin ducks are challenging and fun to paint. I used a variety of color combinations and techniques for this beautiful artwork. Let me know what you think.

The Gods of Lighting were smiling upon me today. No filters of any sort used. Looks like a statue, but actually a grey catbird in Silver Spring, MD.
