returning to the studio after my annual 8 week break has been rougher than in years past due to more severe Raynaud’s attacks wreaking havoc on my hands this winter. also: boredom. i truly hated the first 3 paintings i did last month as i started to ease my way back in. but today? i’m BACK back 🙂‍↔️🙌🏾

cobbler update: heaven

made a second one that’s just peach for good measure because it has been a “we need two cobblers STAT” type of day. or maybe it’s just me that needs both.

cobbler making time (a peach & blueberry mix i’ve perfected over the last couple of years that the fam LOVES)

unexpectedly found this in my camera roll from 2023…timely reminder as i reflect on (my) art & (its) purpose(s).

handwriting sample for my next neon text (it’ll be attached to a big ol’ painting).

the text/literary reference: Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem about Paul Robeson🔌⚡️
