Five years ago today, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol, assaulting police officers, calling for Mike Pence to be hanged and hunting for Nancy Pelosi as they tried to reverse a presidential election and prevent the peaceful transfer of power www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Saturday was a great day for our country!

Grateful for this recognition. There’s the creating then there’s sharing one’s creation as widely as possible, and an award like this helps with that #oilpainting #pace25

Here’s one from a few years ago “Patience”, oil, 16x20” #oilpainting #marineart #chesapeakebay #stmarysrivermd

Moment of Clarity, oil, 30x40”. A painting I did based on a plein air study at Niagara Falls. Wouldn’t a moment of clarity serve us all well right now?! #oilpainting #pleinairpainting

Still snow season, here’s New Blanket, oil, 18x36”, from a few years ago. Painting in the studio allows more time to adjust and reimagine paintings. #oilpainting #painting #wintering #snow

I’m posting about my paintings, but it seems safe to assume that most of us on here reject the broligarchy, believe in free speech and democracy and rational thought, being kind and protecting people and nature.

Usually my plein air paintings are done in one session, but this one on Cape Ann was done over several early mornings. Many of these historic cottages have since been replaced with large homes. #pleinair #pleinairpainting #oilpainting

Assateague National Seashore is an inspiring stretch of coastline, I used to paint there every Fall. The wild ponies graze on the salty grasslands between pine hammocks. On Salty Fields, oil, 18x24” #oilpainting #maryland #protectnature #painting copyright Lisa Egeli

Painting inspired by time spent in the coast of Maine, including encounters with cormorants. Oil on linen, 20by40”. Dreamed up by me and painted by hand without AI, which apparently not everyone is doing these days. Posting as 2 pics since it’s long. #oilpainting #painting #originalart #marineart

Coming up on Superb Owl Sunday, here’s a sketch from a number of years ago #owl #oilpainting #superbowl

Plein air painting during a horse packing trip in British Columbia, Canada, 2018 #pleinair #pleinairpainting #oilpainting #thumbbox

I care about nature and about people, so I honor both by painting them. Here’s a painting from a few years ago I did in the studio based on many hours of painting in the Everglades, a magical wilderness #oilpainting #nature #landcapepainting #protectnature

In 1991/92 I spent 9 mos backpacking around the world, sketching as I went. I treasure the immediacy of those paintings done on location but also the memories as they’ve become filtered over time. Pic is in Yangshuo, China #pleinairpainting #pleinair #sketching #travel #smallworld

This was painted from life, looking out over a beautiful ocean as the sun sunk lower and amplified all the colors. It’s a small painting but for me catches the feeling of awareness and gratitude I had while painting it #pleinair #pleinairpainting #oilpainting #protectouroceans

On the coast of Maine a few years ago, smoke was heavy in the air from Canadian wildfires. Not sure what exactly people are thinking happens next #pleinair #pleinairpainting #oilpainting #protectnature
