I paint to relax, read when I can, work in Restorative Justice.
I'm still struggling to paint. This was an October prompt (candlelit messenger).

Working on a watercolor coloring page in between other stuff and it makes me happy to look at the workspace. I should leave it up just to keep me inspired.

It's difficult for me to work on this painting. So not much has happened yet, but here's another sneak peek

Sneak peek of the next creature I'm painting. It's feeling less whimsical and more a reflection of the stress of the moment.

This painting came about after the horrific abuses of children and families at the border were being exposed on national media.

My attempt at painting the solar eclipse last year.
This is watercolor on a very small piece of paper.

More little ants have found their way onto the neuron... It must be tasty
Again, graphic warning just because the splotchy red background with the organic shapes might look too much like blood.

I painted this right after the last Trump inauguration. I did it as a personal reminder that unity and resistance is there and larger than I know.
This is my reminder to look for it, be it, and support it. I hope it helps someone else too.

This little Roly-poly has been on several adventures visiting friends and family in the form of holiday cards this season. It's another favorite around my house.

Done... maybe... kinda.... I think I'll add more ants as time goes on, so it's more of a work in progress doodle.
CW: Added the Graphic Media cover in case the suggestion of blood is disturbing.

Took a while, but I'm adding more stuff. Now I'm waiting for masking fluid to dry.
Art is my coping mechanism.

My assistant has decreed that no painting may be done until she has been both fed and scratched behind ears.

Later two down. Now just letting it dry while I run errands. I need to think about what to do with it next anyways.

Making myself paint something today. First layer is down

I haven't been able to convince myself to do much drawing or painting these days; almost like the present weighs too heavily for my hand to move freely.
So here's a little sketch from a while ago of my favorite deep sea creature.

I painted this one for a friend who took a cool picture that inspired me.

A totora boat on lake Titicaca. I painted this one for my sister.

Un barco de totora en el lago Titicaca. Lo pinté para mi hermana.
