I'm retired now, but busy painting like there's no tomorrow- spurred on by the rise of AI slop. My protest is to keep creating no matter how hacky, amateurish, and unpolished my work is. I write also and if I have time knit and crochet.

I put it in a cheap frame I had - looks good on the wall. I have gaps on the wall as several paintings are being shown. Hoping for a sale to fund art school this year!

Second try at a grey warbler. Slightly better drawing than number one but still not an accurate representation #birds #nzbirds #birdart
