“Viburnum”, oil on canvas 16x16”- in process from life & photograph, canvas from the stack of older pieces I’m painting over. Think this one was originally a still life of lemons. We’ll see where she goes, planning to add some stencil work and not sure what else once this layer sets a bit

We're in a coup, which means we're in a nightmare, which means we're all ramped up, so let me offer you some deep time, perseverance, and beauty, before you and I go back to the work.

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

I’m going to start tonight by stating the obvious: the Republicans control both chambers of Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Launched a newsletter YESTERDAY and I'm not only posting essays there, but also trying to do some of the news aggregation there I used to do on Facebook. Like this. meditations-in-an-emergency.ghost.io/week-three-t...
Week Three: The Pushback
I think of this as primarily a site for more thoughtful essayistic stuff but I was doing one of those news roundup in-the-moment things I do on FB and thought I should maybe try doing it here.
Right ...

This is sketching wild mustangs -a beautiful stallion and mare. The’re truly wild &show scars typical of horses that live without humans. Magical beasts. So many layers of value nuances & geometry show their magnificent form and spirit even when still. Impossible to fully capture on so many levels.

building up layers, going back and forth between trying out color and value shifts and finding and losing line in procreate then to the easel- she’s still in acrylic and various pencils but meandering toward moving her into oil maybe right over the top maybe starting again.

this is where we rested as of last night. I worked on her beautiful eye and found some of the line again, added another layer of medium. We’ll see what direction we go today, she still needs depth, dimension, nuance and something…
