I am an artist with the intent to be one and an attention span to prevent it. In these unsettling days, however, it seems easier to hunker down and adhere to the principle of art creation.

This guy is getting a refresh! I'm removing the old varnish from this Danish 1896 painting. Details that were obscured by the dirty discolored varnish have reappeared. It's fun to see them pop up again!

A wee linocut from some years ago. In going through all this older material I think I'm trying to work up energy to do more stuff, which has been lacking lately. Angst in these times, I blame everything on that, yeah!

This is an ink and watercolor from around 2012 or so. I had forgotten about it, but it's time to share it again😃 I call it the Organization of the Visible Heavens. Over the top maybe, but it works for me!

This drawing is from the lockdown year 2021, when I drew some things or other for each day. Maybe I need to renew that practice, for sanity's sake😃
