Another, from my youth, when Viet Nam and the draft were high in our thoughts, also a metaphor re our current worries. “Stress”, 1969. #art @bsky.art

During COVID l worked on a bunch of 3D graphics for an ePub. Here’s an example, “title page chapter 7”. @bsky.art #Digital3DArt

Taking a break from doom scrolling, I call this one (just finished) “T-Rex”. #art @bsky.art #pastels

Sanity change of pace…. Spider Pants, oils on canvas, 42x32 inches, 2015 @bsky.art #art #artlover #artsky #artshare

2005 working in the mountains in Colorado, and driving to work in a blizzard (I was from Florida- I didn’t know any better). I stopped at an overlook, and quick-sketched this site. I returned on a misty day and finished it. Blizzard, pastels, 21 x15 in. @bsky.art #art #artlover #artsky #artshare

Is this what we want? #art @bsky.art #political

Just for fun!!! First time I posed this it got compressed, too blurry. So I deleted. I compressed this one myself. So, if it looks good after uploading, it will stay. Otherwise, not. @bsky.art #art #artlover #artsky #artshare #animation #3Danimation

1988-ish, oil on canvas, 42w x32h inches, “Where’s my martini?” Oops, I forgot these: @bsky.art #art #artlover #artsky #artshare

1988-ish, oil on canvas, 42w x32h inches, “Where’s my martini?”

this is the type of question you’d expect from an aged uncle, not a henchman mucking around in the code that runs the US govt

So I worked on the torso shading to pull it all together. Am not sure how much a casual view will notice the difference, but for me it’s more in tune with the natural flow of the dancer’s form. #art @bsky.art

On Leadership Where is our fearless leader? Afraid to come out and tell us, What a great man he is? During this tragic moment? He has the best brain. He has the best words. Where is his best hidden? Today.

Forwards in time to: “Iridescent Peeps”, oils, palette knife, 1987-ish. #art @bsky.art

Most appropriate for today, again going back in time, from the 1970 Sins of War: Control. Sketch & Painting. #art @bsky.art

Big project finally finished. Oops. Delayed a week - had to switch ISP due to their lack of customer service. Meanwhile, again going back in time, from the Viet Nam angst years, 1970 Sins of War: Power. Sketch & Painting. #art @bsky.art

Late posting -> big project finally finished. Meanwhile, going back in time, from the Viet Nam angst years, 1970 Sins of War: Greed. Sketch & Painting. #art @bsky.art

I try to post once every three or four days. An iPad sketch from 2017, while testing an app: “Stretching Bronze” #art @bsky.art #digitalart

2010, I worked in Dover, NH for some time. While there I used to pass this old abandoned house every day. One winter, after a big snow storm, I stopped and sketched this. It was cold and took two days to complete - quickly - you know, cold.

Early morning fog, 1986, Maine Coastal Estuary #art @bsky.art #painting

“Dancing On The Grid” oils, 2023. #art @bsky.art

Last year,2023 late December, in Spain, I sketched a friend’s child, Alejandro. #art @bsky.art

I vary the chronology of posts. This, from my youth, when Viet Nam was high in our thoughts, may just also be a metaphor re our current worries. “The Administration”, 1970. #art @bsky.art

I posted a video animation as a test (19 sec, 24fps). Result, too blurry and slow - so I removed it. It’s probably better to link videos, at least currently.

This is an iPhone finger-painting. There is no precision sketching with a finger, the best is rough, 2019. #art @bsky.art

iPad sketch. I occasionally attend portrait sessions at a local Art Guild. This was in July, 2019. #art @bsky.art I keep forgetting to add tags…so reposting.

Another throwback, 1980. Seriously, I just post Art. I reply to questions I have experience with. #art @bsky.art #painting

I also sketch on an iPad. #art #drawing @bsky.art

When we were young. #art @bsky.art

Another commission from current days. #art @bsky.art

Another from the way-back…1982 at the cabin. #art @bsky.art

A recent commission being varnished. “On the Rocks”. @bsky.art

I'm trying to figure out how to use BlueSky. I'm not a journalist, political analyst, scientist (unless you include code), or many other "ists". So what can I add to a social media town hall? I never kept a journal of my work, I simply created and sold it. Here's a painting from 1974. @bsky.art
