Recently, for *obvious reasons*, I've been thinking about what it means when anxiety and sadness are caused not by individual predispositions, but by the state of the world itself. This led me to early 19th-c. France and the notion of "mal du siècle" (sickness of the century) aeon.co/essays/young...

Haven't had much time to paint this year and now am finally get it back to it. Here's a new one. Vistas - 16x20 Acrylic.

“Entering the Cave” was accepted into the South Eastern Pastel Society’s juried exhibition, All About Pastel, and will be on display at the Alpharetta Arts Center in Alpharetta, GA until April 30. Stop by if you’re around! #artshow #artyear #makersmartch #pattern #rockformation #cave #softpastel

This is a quilt top called Dutchman’s Puzzle by Missouri Star. I had a serious “flying geese”—the triangles set in white—learning curve! 🤬🤣 I love working with batiks, especially ironing them and smelling the residual wax. The vibrant colours lift my heart! #ArtAdventCalendar

For day 14 of #ArtAdventCalendar I have one of my most beloved images, a jackrabbit that was inspired by Albrecht Durer. The background is a spit bite aquatint technique that I quite enjoy as it gives a watercolor effect. This one was my first piece to be shown in a museum and I kept the wall tag.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 14 A natural edge bowl filled with turned cedar spheres. The wood for the bowl came from a tree that fell in my back yard. No clue on the species. The cedar spheres smell great and get used for Christmas tree decorations. #woodturning
