Started working on a new art piece, a quilted protest processional flag.

Still trying to decide between using the solid navy vs. the floral patterned fabrics. What do you think?
A white piece of fabric hanging on the wall, the words “uphold due process, protect free speech” are written in yellow fabric marker. A projector projects the words “remove Trump from office” on a piece of white fabric A selection of fabrics, some with floral patterns and one solid color. These are the fabrics Paige will appliqué on the banners for the text

It feels weird to be promoting my art right now but finding joy where I can.

This spring has been absolutely beautiful! I ordered this print from my shop to show what the acrylic prints look like. It turned out really cool!

Today was a good day! Ran a 10k with my friends, then showered to be the Designated Artsy Aunt for my niece’s birthday! 💕

My husband made the sweetest sign for the 10k today and his voice was hoarse from shouting kind words at people.
Paige with two friends at the start of the Ukrop’s 10k, behind them is the start line to the race with a huge crowd of people behind them. Paige making a funny face by pursing her lips. She has on colorful makeup and is wearing glasses. A table top with two cupcake trays full of paint with pipettes and plastic syringes, two cans of foam shaving cream, chopsticks, paper towels are cardboard. Colors are splattered everywhere. Paige’s husband, Ian, stands in the road with a sign that says “free honest compliments” that he hand wrote to encourage those running the 10k.

But I will stay up late for a José González concert any night
Jose Gonzalez sits on a stool on the stage of the National Theatre in Richmond, VA. He has his guitar in his lap and is smiling out at the crowd. A zoomed out image. In the foreground the crowd stands, some people have their phone cameras out taking photos. Jose Gonzalez is on the stage playing a song. The background on the stage is an upside down picture of trees.

Some pictures from Northern Ireland for your enjoyment
A photograph looking downhill out over green fields that lead to cliffs to the ocean. In the foreground tall grasses grow, the fields are beautiful, lush, and green. A road runs along the right side, with fence posts separating the road from the field. A car is parked in the mid ground, small in comparison to the fields and cliffs. The cliffs are rocky. A black and white photograph of rocks at Giant’s Causeway. The rocks are basalt columns, columns of stone shaped like hexagons, like platforms of various heights. A white house sits up on a hill. Large rocky cliffs sit behind the house. Sea grass grows in front of the house. A photograph of the beach in Northern Ireland. In the foreground rocky sand leads into sea grass and then rocky cliff face beyond. Mussenden Temple sits atop the cliff looking over the ocean. The Temple is a round building with a domed roof and columns. The sky has large white clouds and you cannot see beyond them to clear skies.

My little sister got a tattoo of us from with my handwriting! 😭😭😭

The photo it’s based on was from Midsommar in Minnesota when I was 16 and she was 5.

It’s so sweet

In the morning we sit on the couch as I drink my coffee and I fear my heart will burst as I admire this sweet boy.
A photograph of Paige’s dog, Frodo. He is curled up on the couch with his eyes closed. His head rests on his paws. Frodo is an Aussie doodle and has long curly silvery brown hair with a white spot on his neck. It should be noted he is very adorable.

Let us love more loudly good things than our condemnation of evil and injustice. Let us fight for what is right with the peace that God is with us and cares for the poor and the oppressed. He will not let the oppressor stand forever.
A screen shot of a bible verse. “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭9‬-‭21‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Working on putting up artwork in our guest bathroom. Eventually we’ll paint, make it super funky, and frame the art work. For now, here’s a progress pic.

Should out to @zoelotus.net for our Spiderman print 💕
A photo of a bright white wall. There are five artworks. The first is a print of a woman astronaut with stars, planets, and the moon around her head. The next is a framed woodcut print that says “Nashville, Tennessee” and has the Nashville city skyline. Above this print is a sculpture that looks like a mounted alien head. Next to the alien head is a metal tray with a Scandinavian folk design of a house with a couple and flowers. The final print is a play on a piece by Matisse of figures holding hands and dancing in a circle, but in this version all the people are Spiderman.

Finally starting @martyduren.bsky.social book!

I have wrestled with this idea (like we all have) and am looking forward to thinking on it some more along Marty’s writing.

I have been struck recently by my anger and asking “what is the fruit of my anger?”

Looking to continue my portrait project in RVA. Trying to figure out if I should just do an open call or focus on small business owners, my neighborhood, or who. Thoughts?

Got to take maternity photos for my friends today. We have been friends for nearly 15 years. It’s so precious to see them become parents and an honor to photograph this moment in time.
