Splashy oil sketch Looks like a promising direction.

A painting in progress. Hard days lately. Still painting a bit. Splashy foliage after one more setup session. #oilpaint

From a trip to Forked Lake in the Adirondacks years ago. (Pronounce For-ked by locals, which is bananas because the lake is named for the prominent forked shape). Not pictured, at this golden hour the mosquitos were unforgiving. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #forkedlake #Adirondacks

Coyotito snoozing. My rescue cat Coyote on an Ecuadorian llama wool blanket. Oil 26”x21”. #catsofbluesky #catart #oilpainting #rescuecat

A new work- @ladylonglimbs.bsky.social in the Cloisters - 54”x40” Oil on Canvas. #oilpainting #figurepainting #painter #newart #METCloisters @metcloisters.bsky.social

I’ve painted Tara many times, this one is my favorite. 2022, oil/canvas. #OilPainting #Portrait #Summer #redhead

Entreaties to cherished your loved ones are all correct. There isn’t always going to be more time. It happens so fast.

Charcoal colored pencil and aluminum metal leaf on toned paper. #figuredrawing I’m finding it hard to share new things.

4 still life’s. As a younger painter I aimed for timelessness in still life, but now I embrace the look of our age. #naturemorte #stilllife #stilllifepainting #oilpaintings

Riparian Morning, 54”x54” oil. Inspired by a camping trip, there’s a tent in the lower left. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #morning #forestpainting

Why, for the love of tightly pinched fingers 🤌, are we still changing the time twice a year? We might as well swap left and right in January and July just to destabilize people across another dimension

Bye bye winter

Blue Jay alarm call

Snowmelt season is closing out and mud is next then spring. This is a side of the road in upstate NY with the Catskills in the distance. #landscapepainting #snowmelt #oilpainting #upstateny

There’s a little voice in my head, that I hear when the chatter quiets, that says “do something, make a choice, see what if…”, and that’s probably why I’m an artist. Also that David Hammons snowball piece has really stuck with me. #snowballs #nycparks

The shore this morning.

River of Stars (two Jaspers) - 36”x24” oil on canvas. I’ve been thinking about my ginger cat Jasper today (who is years passed). This painting imagines him lounging alongside a river of stars. It was a sort of overworld map and personal creation myth. #mapart #catart #art #painting #riverofstars

This is why I read old books

Double crested cormorant lunching today.

Damn, Isaiah Zagar, the artist-creator of the Magic Gardens in Philly passed. It’s hard to imagine an artist who did more to improve people’s lives, to make a city more beautiful than him. What a legend, Philly’s Gaudi. @phillymagicgardens.bsky.social will remain magical I imagine.

Prepping for spring. Little miracles these things are. My thanks to angiosperms and gymnosperms everywhere. #gardening #seeds

Someone captured my colleagues an I servicing the cameras during Kīlauea’s episode 42. We stopped to discuss what we were seeing, but because I talk with my hands it looks like I’m fixing to push someone in… Credit: Volcano Hideaways

Post a tree you photographed

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

Cold cold cold in the studio today. I work upside down on paintings to help see without knowing or naming— to stop thinking I know what something ought to look like. #oilpainting #paintingtechnique #figurepainting

Island city painting that I called ‘FiDi’ for a while, but titles have a tendency to drift if the work was never exhibited. After Arnold Bocklin, for sure. #isleofthedead #oilpainting #painter #FiDi #cityscape

St. Sebastián waterfall painting #painter #oilpainting #StSebastian

Two sessions for this one, a cottonwood dripping with the light of an apartment building. #oilpainting #cityscape

Studio workspace with two in progress - I paint at different orientations to help see without knowing first. #painting #palette

Four paintings of Maine, a place I have come to love and dream about. #Oilpainting #Maine #painter

The east river in NY is a tidal strait connecting upper NY Bay and LI Sound. Here I am holding a piece of it.

From the studio, a work in progress. I’m trying very hard to keep it loose. #oilpainting #cloisters #figurepainting

From the studio, two paintings touching.

Yesterday marked four years without a drink. I’d never have predicted that streak and never could imagine how little I think about alcohol anymore.

Three Maggie’s, 40”x40”, oil on canvas. Featuring the talented art model @maggmack.bsky.social. #oilpainting #figurepainting #contemporarypainting

Slightly Diminish a Game: The Anecdote of Zelda

I made my tree loving colleagues a Winter Woody Plant ID quiz. 20 twigs with numbers and a key with the common names, scientific Latin names, and family. #treelovers #arboriculture
