I was prompted to share a view of my studio on an artist community I am a member of. I figured I'd share it here as well. #artstudio
It's a funky little building that the woman who lived in our house prior to us built, to be her studio. It needs some work but I do love it.

I can sense the potential for a greater field of existence but never quite get there to tap into it. We each have our own window of perception or personal reality and this feels like, at some symbolic level, what the view might be for me.

Trump thinks canceling greenhouse gas reporting means no one will know how much CO2 is being emitted.
But Trump is wrong.
Thanks to satellites and aircraft, anyone can see who is polluting, and how much.
Here are the 5 largest CO2 plumes in the US.
No surprise: All are coal plants 🏭

Another obstructed, directed or encapsulated view through structure. Something about the sky, the smooth expanse of blue, knowing what it is, the scale, feels like both a limited and limitless field.

It's not a color I would have initially thought to use, but I really love how it blends in with an unusual (for me) lack of contrast. As the title suggests, it feels like it is very gently emerging from the landscape.

Another sculpture from the commissioned series. I need to get another shot of this one, at some point. It’s form shifts and changes as you move around it.

Missing our sweet Rocky (aka Ricky, Rickles, Rocky Docky). Skittish, affectionate, loyal defender and all around good boy. We lost him almost two weeks ago and I still expect to see him just around the corner. ❤️
