Spending time walking the woods now we can see the trees laid bare with all their bruises, breaks, wounds, continued battle to grow and survive in a hostile environment.
With them as models how could we dare give up on this life.

Non-representional. A archway of loose brushstrokes in mostly reds. The space beneath the arch is mostly blues in a loose brushstroke.

Swan song for the avian visitors along the River. They will soon descend in large flocks with thousands of voices telling the latest news. Not quite a song but certainly a racket.

Some tiny compositions I found while cleaning up the studio.
I love amoeba shapes.

Table cleared for future gelli print sessions.
This is from 2023.

This one is tough to verbalize. A large leaf print with yellow, blue, green, bright yellow-green shapes partially seen underneath. Dominate color is a dark red-brown in some places almost black.

from the Jangly Nervez series.
maybe 2018, or before?

Contemplation of the inner workings of our corporal situation.

A series of overlapping shapes and colored lines. The lines sit over the overlapping shapes in a tilted manner. Black background, shapes are blues, yellow, beige, and orange. the four lines are light blue, red, green and a grey with red line in the middle of it.

Glow in the dark skeleton. Though the label says spine, this is a frontal view.

Bottom of a petri dish.
Like @warren.senate.gov says: grow a spine and get back to work.

A greenish blue circle with speckles of other colors. Could be the remains of a bad experiment in governing or perhaps a lack of a spine has left a puddle of glutinous slime.

A silver colored robot with pink lips, red ears, and black eyes dominates the page with a vaguely columnade building in the background on shades of grey and black.

Light frost last night. Heavy frost predicted for tonight.
The garden still offers up a few things but soon the only thing still producing will be the cold frame.

A dance.

pre-2019. I'm pretty bad with dating work. Found this looking for something from 2024.
Anyhow, after a rousing day for democracy we deserve a little dance, don't ya think?

two calligraphic forms, the one on the left is taller with a strong blue angled upright line with an arm like form that reaches to the right. It has a few strokes of mostly vertical black The other form, shorter and squatter is to the right of the other. its main body is also blue with black accents. Both are at a slight angle to the left suggesting movement. "You can dance if your wanna."

I couldn't do it. I couldn't paint that face. So instead, here's an orange pumpkin, of sorts, instead.
See you on Saturday, October 18th.

Painted on corrugated cardboard: No Kings at the top. A orange face that doesn't real look like a pumpkin with red eyes and a mouth of full teeth and a red tongue. At the bottom is written: pumpkins only.

Apparently frogs have become symbols of resistance. I'm good with that.
Camo wearing, nocturnal mostly, joyous singing, and part of a healthy eco-system.
Send in the frogs.

A green black spotted frog with white stripes sits amongst vegetation nearby to a backwater pond. People displeased with the presence of ICE in their community are showing up wearing large friendly looking inflated frogs (and other animals) to make light of the fact that the soldier-boys are dressed in ridiculous costumes too.

Dove of peace seeking a place to land.

Acrylic on panel

I've been busy, traveling, birthday week, garden produce, stuff.

Painted this one for Ukraine, but hey Gaza, Sudan, every other place at war works too.

Awkward Robot Number 919.
This ain't one of those evil unseen robots that control what we see, hear, purchase. This is one of those robots that would let you win at chess, because it's like that.
#awkwardrobots #robotlove #robotsinthewild #driftlessregion #art #arte #kunst #dailyart
A silver colored robot with large ears, a winning smile, and perhaps a slot for an 8-track tape, stands on the shore of a body of water that may or may not be the Mississippi River with green colored land forms (bluffs) behind it. The sky is a haunting color of yellow, the color one might see just before/after unusual weather on a late summer day.

Trempealeau Mountain along the Mississippi River. Pool A is a favorite stop for migrating birds. Saw pelicans, comorants, egret, and terns/gulls.
