Windy day - low tide - the pink rocks of Tidnish Nova Scotia

Oil on linen, plein air
A painting of a rocky beach, and bay. The rocks a pink. Many colours in the water suggest low tide

The sky was pretty this morning
A photo looking down a street. The sky is luminous with fluffy morning clouds in dawn light

Finally got my access back. So... Posting!
A unfinished painting of a nude man laying facedown on a green couch. Unpainting areas include what might be an Elizabethan collar

Flying back from Italy, considering a week of painting and learning
Two oil paintings of male portraits side by side. Both men wear green shirts, suggesting they are the same person. The painting on the right is more lively and complete

More story pondering
A pair of hands, seen from above. They have bright teal nail polish. Each hand is holding an item: on the left a wedding band, on the right folded money. The pose of the hands suggest contemplation or confusion. The hands are above a counter or table. A coffee mug and empty plate are visible

A study for something larger?

Been pondering the nature of storytelling in paintings lately

Painting the hallucinations of a mad machine. "Man lying in a field", 91x91cm. Oil &paper on panel
A highly stylized image of a person in a green field with mountains in the distance. The person has too many legs, and not enough fingers. Highly abstracted.

Letting a misconfigured AI generate references for me to paint
A painting of a man, posed like one of those 1800s French ladies. His anatomy is unsettling, and the brushwork is frenzied. He doesn't look "real". In the background a volcano erupts into a dark sky

Beading a Starbucks cup? This is painfully slow.
An upside down Starbucks cup. Loops of white beads encircle a couple inches of its length

Version 2 of the crown is looking much better. Have to do the final stitching, but much happier with this
A length of pieced together fabric of dark blues, reds and purples. It is a cloth crown stretched out and laid flat. If you think about it, most fancy food is unethical. Also, it is now winter, and I wonder how many of these we have left before the earth is too warm

Look at these laser straight lines. The seamless piecing together. The incredible colour choices

Hilarious. I can see where another attempt could be made better. First sewing machine time in 25 years went reasonably well.

Here lies something akin to a Crown of Ties.
A length of pieced together fabric. It is jagged along the top, stitched from the large and small points of a necktie. The rest are rectangles randomly cut from the lengths of ties. A mosaic of menswear.

Reorganizing my supplies as I take over another room in the house for studio space. This will be my textile/fibre associated space.

Question: should I categorize fishhooks as beading supplies?

Painting from life is always fun. Always a challenge to decide what to focus on, given extreme time constraints. Loved the shape of the models hand against their deltoid.
An oil painting on paper, of a man laying down. The perspective is extreme, with the man's body receding quickly into gesture. The focus is on the man's face and hand which are close together. First finger extends upwards. He is dreaming of lasagna, like all good people

Neither art school nor Mr. Sparkle care that Halloween is over
A bearded man taking a selfie in the mirror. He wears a purple Mr. sparkle T-shirt. His face is covered in plaster mid-process of mask making. Lasagna is amazing

A little introduction.
A man in a black suit and red necktie stares into the camera. His shirt is white. His wide smile is concealed by a fake beard made of paper and painted with blue swirls. He wears a paper crown or tiara, with many points. Various colours and patterns cover the crown, like it is made of neckties. In his hands he holds a paper facemask. The eyes on the mask look concerned. He is excited to put the mask on. his eyes are disturbing.
