Very nice! Funny, meant to paint these pink roses in a blue vase this weekend but time got away from me. I did start a different painting.

A break from today's buffet of terrible news. This is a little doodle I made one day thinking about a neighborhood on another planet. I like it, I'm going to paint a larger version with Flashe paint (matte vinyl paint). Or oils and metallic oilsticks. This small version is gouache.

We come on the ship they called the Mayflower / We come on the ship that sailed the moon / We come in the age's most uncertain hour / To sing an American tune

Everything is terrible. But here's a joyful little painting that I made a while back. It's about all I can humbly offer tonight.

I seriously need to get back to painting. I feel like I've been in a 2025 bad-news daze for months. Though I looked at the price of canvases yesterday — ouch. At least I have my allotted three pencils.

This is where I was six years ago today. Wild horses, we'll ride them someday.

Textile collage of silk, silk velvet, cotton, vintage kimono scraps, beads, sequins. This is from quite a long time ago, with some pieces added this year.

I'm too short to have been able to get a good crowd photo but proud to be counted among the 34,000 or so at Denver's City Park today for @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social. Good job showing up, Colorado!

I'm not feeling enthusiasm for International Women's Day this year given, well, everything. But a friend shared this and it made me laugh, so here you go. Cheers to every strong woman and true ally of women. ❤️🥂

This is a "struggle," Wirecutter? Really? Life is gonna be hard for you.

Hey @nytimes.com, this headline is offensive. Trump talked about eggs for his entire campaign, in his unhinged and dishonest way, and you never thought it deserved a story. @klobuchar.senate.gov responds and you turn on the mocking and trivializing tone. Do better.
