Fierce, unruly joy in Portland at the emergency naked bike ride

That's a big turnout for a naked bike ride, considering the weather. I miss Portland.

My first ever oil painting. I just sort of dove in without paying a lot of attention to how and why, and I guess I learned a lot, mostly that oil painting is challenging and I have a lot to learn. #oilpainting

Got my annual flu and COVID vaccinations. It's that time of year again.

151 miles into the Pacific Crest Trail, hikers will begin their ascent up San Jacinto. 25 miles after that, and 3000 feet higher, the trail turns east for a quarter mile or so, and just before the trail crosses into the woods on top of San Jacinto, a hiker can look south and see... #pct #sanjacinto

I just sent a letter to my US Rep, where I politely lit him up over his YEA vote on H.Res. 719. I told him some Kirk facts, said I thought ”Kirk reeked of fascism when he was alive and he doesn't smell better now that he's dead," and asked my Rep not to vote like that again.

A skunk. I've only ever seen one in the wild, and I was very glad it wasn't running towards me. Watercolor on paper, 8"x8" #skunk #watercolor #animalart

I went to the Coupeville arts festival today, and bought a tiny black and white print of some cedars and owls and ferns from @tinyhousebigwoods.bsky.social Fun, though waiting in line for parking kinda sucked.

Spaceship. Watercolor on paper, 4.5" by 6" more or less.

I like crows. Watercolor on paper, 4.5" by 5.5" ish. #crow #watercolor #birdonawire

I love being in the dark woods and looking out on a bright patch of sunshine, and it's this amazing blown out green. #Watercolor on paper, 4.5" by 6" #crowdrawing

They were racing penguins on the lake this morning, and I managed to notice and get set up in time to paint the last 20 minutes or so. I think I'm starting to get the hang of this plein air thing. Feels less weird to set up and go than it did at first. Watercolor, 4" by 5" #pleinAir #SailboatRace

Sketched on my morning walk. Watercolor 4"ish by 5"ish. #pleinAir #watercolor #sketch

One of those metal grill things at a local park. It would not take much to turn it into a gruesome, rusting robot head on a post. #pleinair #parkinfrastructure

A garden plein air sketch. This pot has a gecko on it. Watercolor. #pleinair #art

Here's a little plein air sketch of some, I think, geraniums from my sketchbook. Trying to do more watercolor sketching out in the outside. #pleinair #watercolor

You can just buy a bubble machine. They aren't even that expensive.

I just bought a copy of Wyeth at Kuerners, and oh my! It's so fucking good! I haven't looked at a lot of Wyeth before. Christina's World, yes, and I think I once had a documentary on in the background while I did other things, but I had no idea. Very good.

Mostly sketching people from reddit

Hot take: tidying is the main reason things get lost.

I'm working on my Christmas Cards. Hail Santa!

Happy boxing day! Watercolor on paper 4.5" by 6"
