I also saw some paintings from unknown artists (besides the first, labeled as work from Wisconsin artist Ann Powell) that I thought were interesting

Interesting stuff I saw at an antique mall this weekend. I ended up getting the cart and the pillow because the teal color is so good and I’m a sucker for strawberry shortcake

Here’s a big #wip self-portrait, still undergoing construction. The challenge for me when painting is knowing when to stop and deciding how much of the underpainting color I want to keep in the final piece. I find self-portraits very accessible and a good reminder that I do in fact exist

One of my favorite #sketchbook pages from 2024. A phrase I’ve been thinking about lately… how to seek peace in strange, troubling times

Colored pencils and highlighter markers on paper

This is Steve for reference 💙

A few recent small paintings almost finished

• my boy Steve who I’ve put off painting in fear of not capturing his essence well enough 😂(acrylic on canvas)

• a My Little Pony toy from 1984 that I found at a thrift store long ago and love (acrylic on panel)

• a hand w/ rings study (oil on panel)
