Good morning! Here's another painting from my upcoming August show at FineLineDesigns Gallery in Ephraim, WI. From my studio, a large panoramic view of an important wetland "up north".

So when you feel like dancing! I created this painting while listening to some great old tunes in my studio. Art and music seem meld together . The Dance Acrylic and mixed media collage. Found a home last year. #art #contemporary #acrylic #collage #dance

The new round of bombing in the Middle East has underscored the precarity of relying on fossil fuels. The war is speeding up the global transition to EVs, solar, and batteries, experts say. n.pr/4vlRdKm

Rainy day today! I really enjoy painting atmospheric cityscapes...this small painting found a home quickly, but I have a desire to paint the subject again again in a much larger format. #sold #cityscape #oilpainting #impression #art

I took a macro shot of a sea urchin on a night dive. My camera's strobe fired, illuminating its spines, which are made of crystalline calcite, causing them to glow. #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #eastcoastkin #photography

Today, we gathered in Coney Island alongside gun violence prevention advocates, community leaders, & families. We came together to support those who have experienced unimaginable fear & to reaffirm our commitment to an all-of-government public safety approach that prevents violence & saves lives.

I agree 👍🏼 Do you? #BookSky

#Poetry #Painting Ordinarily I go to the woods alone with not a single friend for they are all smilers and talkers and therefore unsuitable. I don’t really want to be witnessed talking to the catbirds or hugging the old black oak tree I have my own way of praying - Mary Oliver 🎨 Ryo Takemasa

Going with the flow today. There are fantastic waterfalls in the upper UP. I painted this one from memories of a softly gray day. The sound of water...still in mind. Oil, palette knife painting. Courtesy FineLineDesigns Gallery, Ephraim Wi. #art #waterfall #landscapepainting #wisconsinartist #oil

Lakeshore Reverie, acrylic and mixed media. When I look for a sense of peace, for a grounding amidst daily life. I find it in nature. Moments along a lakeshore or within a winding forest trail let me exhale. #nature #water #art #newwork #wisconsinartist #conservation

The Trump regime wants to destroy American science. One big step to maintain our strong science just happened, as Dr. Neil Shubin became President of the US National Academy of Sciences. Shubin is an important paleontologist and an equally important interpreter of science for the lay public.

Culling American history leaves gaping holes in the American story that make it unintelligible.

Love it 🫶💪

As much of the Eastern U.S. experiences potentially record-breaking daytime temperatures, the nights are also staying unusually warm, leaving the human body no time to recover.

This Fourth of July feels complicated. Perhaps like me, you've felt disconnected from this celebration. I process my emotions and thoughts thru my art and this painting " Empty Tables, Empty Chairs" is open for your interpretation. Bonnieparuch.com #art #social #commentary #connections
