Happy Star Trek Day!
In those days I was a huge sci-fi fan, eagerly awaiting the premier. But first things first. My husband and I were on our honeymoon in Toronto, so I started with episode two the next week!

An experimental 7 x 10“ watercolor landscape, a little practice piece. The sky and land were done with the same three colors, Daniel Snith indanthrone blue, perelyne red and Hansa yellow medium. Few things are more fun than color mixing.

This was really just a practice piece because I was playing with some new brushes, but I like it, it has a nice spring-like feel, and it isn’t politics. #tulip #watercolorpainting #artist

I normally only post my creative stuff but my grandson shared this beautiful video with me. I was born before the end of WWII. This made me realize that my generation has indeed lived through interesting times. I pray that change is coming again.

It seems like a nice day to share a little oil painting from a few years back with a big blue sky, on Bluesky. Here in the Midwest we barely see the sun all winter. I called this one Afternoon Sunlight. Oil on canvas, 11 x 14”.

A watercolor I did 15 years ago from photos during our last trip to NYC. It’s called Beacon of Hope, and I often pair it with Emma Lazarus‘s beautiful poem.
Are we still a beacon of hope?

Yet another 60s era song that feels painfully relevant in our current era.
"Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven, you can justify it in the end."
"Go ahead and hate your neighbor, go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven, you can justify it in the end."
#Interestingly the occult-rock pioneers Coven entered the US Billboard Top 40 in Oct. of 1971 with their cover of “One Tin Soldier,” also earning US #OneHitWonder honors. It spent 6 weeks on the chart, peaking at #26 that November. #OneHitWondering #MusicSky www.youtube.com/watch?v=6asI...

I resubscribed to the NYTimes in spite of myself. They offered $.58 a week for a year, subtracted my games subscription, and charged $5.60 for the next year.
What will WaPo offer when that one expires?
Meanwhile I’ve been reading The Guardian.

Back in ye olden tymes when I still did art shows, I had many of my paintings printed on tiles for sale. They were
popular and affordable.
Mostly fruit and vegetables still lifes, very colorful. But my best seller was this simple watercolor rhino. #watercolor #painting #rhino

I’m sometimes confused as to whether a colored pencil artwork should be called the drawing or painting. This one is definitely a drawing. From 2021. My first completed work in covered pencil

I often paint marbles and vintage toys, especially tin toys that have dents and dings. This is one of my favorites, on a very fragile vintage map of New Mexico.

Struggling to scare up some holiday spirit. That seems to be going around this year. So I’ll post a little watercolor painting of an ornament I did several years ago, with hopes that everyone’s mood picks up. “Ornament,”(c) Joyce K Jensen
