Pithy and full of perimenopausal rage.
Sunday is for male nudes. Inspired by Impressionist painter, Jean Frederic Bazille, whose male bathers stood out as unconventional in a sea of female nudes.

Painting Paul Klee’s puppets that he made for his son, Felix. I love them so much.

The pressure to work, buy, acquire, achieve, procreate, create, change, rattle things, disobey, fight, and fear. In the words of Public Enemy, “Don’t believe the hype.”

Accept where you are. Me, I’m enraged and in need of extra self-care via painting. 2025 “Art, or Die!” Vibes.

So many different creative interpretations of Salome by Oscar Wilde. This paint study is based on this photo from a performance by Sante Fe opera.

“Not as gorey as usual, but it kind of looks like intestines.” ~ feedback from a fellow painter.

I think I needed some love today.

Spontaneous paint study on an old paint by number. I just can’t get enough of these baroque paintings featuring strong heroic women from Old Testament bible stories. This one is from a man.

“I put my thang down, flip it and reverse it” ~ Missy Elliot going through my head while doing another study of this one. I’m going to keep trying this one until it looks more like she’s tossing him down a well, as in the original.

Just a light-hearted paint study of a painting by Artemisia Gentileschi

Still inspired by this vintage photo, featuring an actress, exhausted in an armchair, with a giant paper-maché head of Marlene Dietrich on her lap.

This interpretation includes a speech bubble with a pun about losing your head, because in this incomprehensible timeline, I would die without humor.

Recent study, on the left, from class at Ulna Studio, here in Portland. This from a series of recent studies of paintings of women by women. Playing around with a more monotone color palette because I am kind of focusing on how to paint the human form.

Where do you find inspiration?

The Favourite, 2015, with Emma Stone as Abigail, wearing Sandy Powell designs. I love everything about this.
