A sunset so beautiful I want to lick it!

I don’t think there’s anything clever to say about going for an evening walk and encountering the majesty of a dolphin in the wild.

I’ve finally finished this painting! It’s the first one this year. You can get a look at the completed painting and hear me talk about its creation on YouTube: youtu.be/QUi9gMCUcwU?...

Commemorating firsts: first sunset wearing shorts, 2026.

The clouds fell into the sea and washed up on the shore.

Such a cliche…

Seen in Atlanta.

That’s a lot of birds!

Just trying to get into the spirit of Friday the 13th!

Beachside. Getting my fill of negative ions and contemplating the mysteries of my inner psyche.

I'm sure that this is a metaphor for something.

Happy little palm tree.

Don’t play coy with me, cat!

Sunbeam meets lense.

It’s the little things. Here’s just a few that inspired me this morning.

I'm not sure if this counts as a self portrait, but I did it anyway.

Classic Subaru.

Sky full of rainbows.

I need to get back on my feet, so many girls need weapons

Good morning. The day appears to have started normal enough, but I heard there’s to be snow. Which is kind of like pigs flying, or hell freezing over.

Proof of life on a cold winter day.

When the fog settles in.

Pilgrims didn't say jerk off they said Yankee Candle

It's like natural graffiti.

No feathers were ruffled when the dog barked.

A bunch of egrets doing their best to enjoy some afternoon sun.

A tough day for a fun ride. I admire his enthusiasm.

Every once in a while I like to play this game. Can you name all of these artists?

Hard at work.

I have to confess to enjoying playing with the color of the sky in my movies. It changes the mood completely. Just check out that sky!

I stopped to pick up some books near the lighthouse this morning.

The sun is looking very dramatic in the Spanish Moss tonight.

Hiding in plain sight.

Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing--and keeping the unknown always beyond you. ~Georgia O'Keefe

Here's to a Fanciful 2026 #2026

Not all sunsets are created equally.

"Song Sung Blue" made me blue, because much like Jackman’s Lightning refusing to start concerts with the fan favorite “Sweet Caroline,” this movie didn’t give the audience what it wanted: to sing some fun songs with some fun, good-looking people. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/01/movi...

Another of my daily watercolors.

Watercolor and ink (number26).

"Apuleius" multimedia

Hop Along Synthetic polymer paint on canvas. 48" x 36".

Progress on a study of the beach. The dunes. Acrylic on canvas.

Some outcomes are very predictable. Paintings by me.

“Is it edible?” I wouldn’t know, I don’t eat shit I find in the lawn.

Well…looks like I ran out of world today.

Tonight’s walk.
