#CharcoalDrawings inspired by WWII Navy ammunition bunkers on #PrudenceIsland discovered during my fall #artistResidency. They offer many ways to organize chaos, and if there's anything needed now, it's a way to deal with chaos. . #nbnerr #prudenceislandartresidency #artistinresidence #wwiibunker

At the Treasury Department with fellow @housedemocrats.bsky.social demanding answers from Elon Musk’s illegal and unconstitutional takeover of government.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

I made a little world to escape in. . #diorama #landscapepainting #landscapeart #dioramapainting

Something to watch that shows we can do better, and hopefully will again someday www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPIy...

painting from my #diorama feels really a bit strange. Not quite #PleinAir, not quite a #stilllife, not #landscapePainting. It's actually quite confusing and humbling.

This Thursday, January 16, 2pm-5pm, artists take over the Roger Williams Park #museumofnaturalhistory! A great chance to study details of wild animals up close and in the round from the large collection of taxidermied specimens at the Museum. More info at www.providenceri.gov/museum/drawi...

Two really different paintings headed for the #ProvidenceArtClub class and instructor show opening this Sunday (01/05). "Thistles" is an instructor painting from teaching a painting class, The nude is inspired by the Life Drawing class taught by Kate Huntington and Craig Masten.

Treating myself by starting my first painting from my little constructed landscape. #diorama #landscapepainting

This Thursday Drawing Wild returns! Dec. 5, 2-5 at #RogerWilliamsPark #museumofnaturalhistory. Join us as artists take over the museum to draw and paint from the collection. Info at www.providenceri.gov/museum/drawi... #naturalhistorymuseum #taxidermy #grizzlybear #grizzly #animalart

Just a few finishing touches to my #diorama before I start doing paintings from it.

Going once, going twice...My oystercatcher painting reappears at auction, follow the link to view

Happy to see two of my #littlepictures2024 have found new homes, and been replaced by two from #CapitolReefNationalPark. Still lots of great art left at the #providenceArtClub, open 7 days a week for the holidays! providenceartclub.org/little-pictu...

Sometimes a studio day doesn’t result in any artwork, but hopefully a warmer environment to paint in

First post, hope this is a good alternative to the dreadful 'x'
