Here’s one of my floral pieces from a few years ago. Yesterday, I posted a video of President Obama laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and some jerk tried to insult me with a “stick to trying to pretend to be an artist” jab. I told him to stick his comment up his azz & blocked him.

Finishing these also…👌🏾

I’m putting the finishing touches on these 4x6’s so I can start a new round. I’m trying to have twenty completed before Thanksgiving. I’ve got 14 pieces so far. I’m painting and praying that democracy survives. 🙏🏾 #art #oilpainting #oilonpaper #create #handpaintings #gifts

Chasing Waterfalls…Golden Time of the Day…Moon River…Ballerina Girl…song titles that work well as titles for artwork. 👌🏾 #artwork #oilpaintings #4x6 #art #createart

Here’s what I’ve been working on today, my BlueSky family. A little 10x7 oil on paper. She might not get gifted this year because I kinda like her. ☺️ I hope everyone is muddling through this mess they’ve created. Isn’t it just mind boggling how they took over and just made a mess??? #art #artwork

I’m putting the finishing touches on this piece. I like this piece but it might be somebody’s Christmas gift! 😄👌🏾 I’m proud of what happened at the polls yesterday, Blue Sky family! We must show up big for the midterms! I believe they’re going to try to manipulate the election somehow. #art #artwork

Trying to finish this unnamed sister piece to Annabella and Emily…she’s 24x18, oil on paper… #art #Artwork #oilpainting #oilonpaper #blackart

Card stuffers…that’s what I’ll be doing with these little 4x6 studies…hopefully, my friends will appreciate them. 😄 Happy Fallback Sunday, y’all!! 💙👌🏾💙 #art #originalart #oilonpaper #artwork #createartwork

My #forever president, the Nobel Peace Prize recipient…today’s 4x6 study is a charcoal drawing of my favorite President… #44 #BarackObama I intend to do a large piece soon and I’m leaning toward using a “tan suit” image as reference. He looked sharp in that suit! 

Okay, so here’s where I’m breaking for now…I’m getting sleepy. 🥱 So, my #Prince will wait for now. There’s always a lesson to learn when painting. Shadows were the challenge tonight…trying to get them right. #artlessons #selftaughtartist #oilpainting #artwork #artismyhappyplace

The first layer is in, finally! Whew!! The next layers will bring definition to his hair, skin and his clothing. #Prince #HisPurpleMajesty #oilpainting #art #artwork Just fyi: my prints are reasonably priced. 👌🏾

Ha! I’m working on a #Prince piece! I’m already wishing I’d used a big canvas instead of 18x24 oil paper. His nose is almost right…I swear I have the damndest time with noses, especially if any part of the reference image is in shadow! #Prince 💜 #oilpainting #artwork #art #createart

This is tonight’s study…another snow piece…surprise, surprise!! 😃 I’ve got to add about a million tiny stars after I’m completely sure I’m happy with the sky. So, a few days of drying and then I can add snow to roof and highlight the snow on the ground. 🎨🧑🏽‍🎨🫟 #art #artwork #oilpainting #oilonpaper

Snow study #2 😃 #artwork #artonbluesky #snowstudy #oilpainting #4x6

Today’s #4x6 paint study is on painting snow. This is #oilpaint so I need this to dry a bit so that I can get the white of the snow to pop. Happy Football Sunday! I hope your team won! 💙 #art #Artwork #oilpainting #oilonpaper #painting

4x6, oil on paper studies…Happy Sunday, BlueSky family! 💙 #paint #painting #oilpainting #oilonpaper

These little 4x6 studies will go inside the Christmas cards I send to certain, special people in my life. So, painting is a gift! 😃 lol! I hope everyone is safe and I’m wishing everyone a beautiful weekend! #oilpainting #4x6study #oilonpaper #createart #art #artonbluesky

Studies and practice…that is how you learn to paint. It is not a gift in the sense that people think you can just pick up a paint brush and paint!! Here’s a small study in painting glass! #originalart #art #oilonpaper #oilpaintingstudy

Early art…from the beginning of my career, way back in 2018… 😃 I see things that I’d do differently but considering how little I knew regarding painting, they weren’t bad. 🫶🏾 “Make this world a better place if you can!” 💙🩵💙

Happy “No Kings Day” y’all!! 👏🏾🥳❣️ I’ve got a tribute piece to D’Angelo on my easel right now. I’m fighting for my life trying to capture his essence in oil paint. 🫶🏾 it’s a labor of love. Rest peacefully, #Dangelo #oilpainting #oilonpaper #creatingart #artwork #myartwork

Here’s a progress video of my #lighthouse piece… it’s nearing completion, just need a little drying time so I can blend the yellows! #oilonpaper #oilpainting #artwork #art

Progress pic… I need a name for this piece… #oilonpaper #originalartwork #handpainted #art

Finishing up this #slystone piece… #oilonpaper #originalart #artwork #myart #Stand!

The third in my series of vintage-hatted ladies of color… this yet-to-be-named piece is currently on the easel. She’s a sister to Annabella and Emily… #oilpainting #oilonpaper #artwork #art #createart #arteveryday

“‘Tis Autumn” is what I’m calling this one. 5x7 oil on canvas. Every day is a new insult to our collective soul with this current administration. Try to find some joy out there, my friends. 🫶🏾💙🫶🏾 #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #artwork #originalart #originalartwork #createart

Blocked in a new oil painting…I hoe everyone is holding up. These are trying times, try say the least. I have to believe that there is still hope. #hope #blueskies #oilpainting #oilonpaper #wip #blockedin

From my “Red Umbrella” series…I had fun creating these…this is a subset of this particular art piece… singer Selina Albright purchased this piece for her home. I’m thinking about starting a new, updated series. #artwork #art #artist #acrylicpainting #abstractart

Here’s a throwback of an early piece of my work…landscapes are my first love. I especially love painting skies! #art #artist #originalart #oilpainting #skypainter

Kinda wish I hadn’t sold this piece…I think I’ll create another one soon!! I’ve got a commission on the easel that I’m trying to wrap up! So much art, so little remaining wall space…🤭 #artwork #art #artonbluesky #originalart #handpainted #notAI #oldschoolartist

My favorite color palette is that of sunsets… 🌅 I find them to be so fascinating and incredibly humbling. This is just a little 5x7 number in celebration of the rapture that didn’t happen today. I hope everybody is having a good evening! #art #artist #artwork #oilpainting #wip #goldentimeoftheday

Hey there, my BlueSky friends!! I’m still here!! I had to step away from my easel to take care of a family member but I’m back now! Back at my easel, my happy place…working on this piece titled “Stand!” Timeless lyrics to this Sly and the Family Stone classic…17x14, oil on paper. 🫶🏾💙🫶🏾

For your reading pleasure…If You Give A Pig The White House…complete the sentence, if you wish. 😊 Happy Sunday, Bluesky! #books #readingisfundamental #readingmatters #booksmatter

Abstract art…I have a love/hate relationship with painting abstracts. Sometimes, it’ll just work right away. Other times, it’s days in the making. 😅 This piece is finally starting to feel cohesive. #art #abstract #abstractart #originalart #mixedmedia #artwork

Nothing MLK said or did 60 years ago is a threat to us. You, oh orange one, are the clear and present danger! It’s you; you’re the drama! #epsteinwastrumpsfriend #releasetheepsteinfiles #trumpepstein #Epsteintrump

It’s drying time for this yet-to-be-named piece. I think she deserves a name that’s as regal and majestic as she is. I hope everyone is managing in the middle of this madness. I don’t know what I’d do without my art! It keeps me sane. #art #artwork #artonbluesky #artist #oilpainting #mixedmedia

I haven’t named this piece yet. She’s the sister piece to Annabella so she’s going to need an equally gracious name. #WIP #WIPART #art #artwork #artonbluesky #blueskyartist #wokeartist

I’ve started on this companion piece for “Annabella.” #oilpainting #originalart #oiloncanvas #art #artonbluesky #stayblue #trueblue

I did this fun acrylic piece while I mentally prepare for my next oil painting. Just keep painting…that’s what I tell myself these days. #art #artwork #originalart #acryliconboard

Yep. I wish I could credit the artist for this powerful piece of art. It pretty much sums up my feelings. #stayblue #unitedwestand #dividedwefall

I think she’s finished! “Annabella” 30x24 gallery wrap, mixed media…oil paint, acrylic on sides, modeling paste for texture… #createart #createeveryday #oilpainting #artistsonbluesky #originalart #originalartwork #artislife #artistlife

So, here’s where I’m stopping on Pedro aka Marty! 😊 It’s drying time again, so stay tuned. I might create one more new piece before I put Annabelle back on the easel! #mixedmedia #oilpainting #oiloncanvas

So, this is currently on my easel while “Annabella” gets a little drying time. We’ll see what I end up with. Art is what I do! Wishing everyone a good weekend! Stay true to the blue because everyone deserves a chance. #oilpainting #originalartwork #oiloncanvas #30x24 #gallerywrap #myartwork

So, putting this aside for a bit of drying time. I need that to happen to get some separation of colors. I got several suggestions for a title for this piece. I especially liked “Annabella” and “Something fitting.” #dryingtime #oilpainting #originalartwork #myartwork #realpaintedartwork

Working on a new oil painting…I haven’t named this piece yet but I will, as soon as I figure out something fitting. Stay true to the blue, Bluesky!! Keep your moral compass oiled and your humanity intact!! #oilpainting #artwork #myart #myartwork

Happy Juneteenth, BlueSky family!! I know why the caged bird sings. ❤️🖤💚✊🏾❤️🖤💚

I haven’t posted in a bit. I’ve been so completely exhausted trying to keep up with the madness coming from this administration. I’m sure that’s their agenda, to wear us down. They’re running out of time to reign the clown in. Happy No Kings Day! Happy Juneteenth too!! Stay Woke, my friends!! 🫶🏾💙✊🏾

Some days it’s really hard to focus on my artwork because of the crap going on in this country, specifically and across the globe, in general. I’m trying to remain hopeful and optimistic but Lord, the clown in chief makes it so hard! Here’s the progress I’ve made on this piece. #artwork #oilpaint

I’m a proud Radical Left Lunatic! Happy Earth Day, BlueSky lovers! #resist #wokeasf #wokeandproud #liberalforlife #earthday2025

Here’s where my Diamond Head art piece is…I’m nearing completion. I’ve got a bit more to do on the waves and some final highlights to the rocks. I hope everyone is okay. #oilpainting #archespaper #oilonpaper #taboraAsReference #DiamondHead

I decided to paint a Tabora styled piece…a familiar subject for him, Diamond Head! Oil on paper, 11x14 I have a ways to go but I’m getting there! #oilpainting #oilonpaper #artwork #artonbluesky #artist I paint to stay sane. #trueblue #bluecrew
