Tonight’s work WIP, finished the cloak except for the buttins.
This will ultimately be my Dog Monroe dressed as a Victorian era gentleman. Today I completed the cloak(except for the buttons) and tomorrow I will decide to do my dogs head or the vest and neck tie.

The only logical explanation for the picture below is that Jackson Pollack’s ghost is haunting my bathroom? I have no idea how this happened. Nothing was moved or jostled and no one went in the bathroom. Any one able to crack this case?
Wax from a candle flung itself at the bathroom wall while the bathroom was unoccupied and left Jackson Pollack splatters above my sink

I use Glaze to alter my images against AI and I know the difference but this is a fair enough resemblance to the unedited version. I am using Rebelle software for painting. It is really good and also user friendly.

I didn’t like the bland white background even though I will maybe do a different color scheme for the whole thing but I found a perfect hat. I knew that trying to paint Monroe would be super tricky because he is a brindle. This will take me a week or two but I am looking forward to this one.

I started with a nose in the end of September, and I really focused on shapes not a nose but it was the nose I was wanted.
When I started on a painting of Aliison Russell in September I started with her nose.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social is always happy to see things people are proud of, I finished this painting today and used #Glaze to protect my painting from AI. It is altered in texture and a bit of the image is altered by I say it is shareable for the gist. #DocHolliday #WynonnaEarp #Earper
Painting of Doc Holliday portrayed by Tim Rozon from the series Wynonna Earp. I used Glaze to protect the image from AI and it had altered a bit by changing the texture of canvas I chose.

I started a painting and then started rewatching the show that made me want to painting said painting. Here is the WIP and I glazed it to keep AI off of it. #Earper4Life

I am fortunate that I have two very dear friends that not only refuse to let me go hungry but ensure that I have foods I will eat. Tonight I had a simple salad and steak with a great red wine tonight

Allison Russell is one of my favorite artists, I made a mixed media of her first solo album and this month I painted her. I used Glaze to fight infernal AI thievery.
My painting of Allison Russell. I can see the difference from the non Glazed version I have so figners crossed AI can’t steal my work.

I live in the mountains of New Hampshire and the drought we have has kinda left us with underwhelming fall colors. So sad to miss out on Fall colors this year.
lackluster fall colors from New Hampshire North Country.

@jeffsharlet.bsky.social asked if the appropriate music could be added. Someone beat me to it while I was adding it but here it is.

I finished reading Rememberings today and I was struck by this page and my heart hurt for all the times Sinéad O’Connor wasn’t heard.
EPILOGUE TODAY IS APRIL 5, 2020. The world is on lockdown. No one knows when or in what form life will "return to normal." As if it ever was before. The way we've been living, maybe it will change. We might continue to love each other as much as we currently are by staying home. You just never know. But there's gonna be a journey through seven hells. I can somewhat help some loved ones negotiate this, having had plenty of training in such travels. When one lives with the devil, one finds out there's a God. In America, Trump wants everyone to go back to work, right at the crest of the virus's wave. And he wants sick people to take some drug he knows nothing about, but he won't wear a mask. He's the king of Kool-Aid. He says he can't be meeting presidents, dictators, kings, or queens while wearing a mask. And only last week some princess of Europe died, actually. Of the virus. The people are to blame. If Trump were an Irish president or prime minister, he'd have been physically ripped out of office the day he first gave away someone's child at any border. He's mentally ill. The so-called sane people are at best doing nothing and at worst enabling him. Like Some giant emperor eshohas no clothes. Which is all he is. A lesson for the people not to be so fuckin' nice all the time.
