Noir la musique et la pluie

Magical

A little too close for comfort

She’s the very image of a Real American with courage and strength of character. She’s stuck on a Metro bus with masked white nationalists who were heading into DC this morning to march on Washington for July 4th today. This country is a joke! If one of us doesn’t have independence, none of us do!

Heat lightning last night

I’m currently hanging out in the popsicle freezer aisle thank you very much much. It’s only 104 in the shade, don’t worry 😆

Enjoying our neighbors on this hot summer evening.

“The Algae Has Reached the Stars and Stripes” 2026 Acrylic on canvas 14”x14”

“Wasteland” 2026 Plaster, beads, staples, sand, plastic mesh, spray paint and acrylic on canvas 20”x24” (I think) Looks way better in person, lots of texture

The regime is a terrorist organization in every sense of the word, including but not limited to economic terrorists! Purposely bankrupting our nation. We got some fightin to do, hopefully our votes is all it takes

This seems very reasonable to me.

This one of the most uplifting speeches I've seen in a looong time. Well worth watching!!!!

Something pretty cool happened. A piece of my art is on Spotify and other sights. A young army war vet who makes “Folk-nouveau” music, bought 4 or 5 pieces from me to use as digital album covers, if you will. It’s really cool and I am very lucky 🍀

We are all dust and grit on the factory floor of greed, a game with not a single winner. Rise up with charity and benevolence… #iphoneography

My wife’s work in her garden never ceases to amaze me. She is an angel through and through

A Blue Ridge waterfall…

How about today?

Remember the heroes of June 6, 1944. Never forget the enemies of America on January 6, 2020.

#photog On the inside looking outward

Love for sale. Once I retire I'II create art about 6 hours a day and I'll actually attend art events (classes too). The rest of my time will be devoted to making my wife's every meal from scratch, children, grandchildren and friends included. Give what you can, all you can stand!

Well, these 5 pieces are being entered into a local art show. I’m a nervous wreck. Luckily, I have a friend who does the entrance work for me because I have no interest in doing it for myself. 😩

To, well, you know who you are

Remember this?

A letter I wrote via a photograph in the dark of our tonight- lucky to be alive, please read the words of our lives, a letter we need forever more, please read the letters we write, our survival needs a good reading and a better understanding…

“Mama Love, Come Home. You Are the Magic I’ve Always Spread My Wings to” 2026 Acrylic on canvas 20”x 16”

Bark at the moon! #photog

All I want for our country is equality, family sustaining jobs for all, no more electoral college, three equal political parties with voting as a holiday, violent crime severely punished, clean air, water & environment, the rich and the corporations taxed appropriately & freedom!

In the time of night #photog

American Apartheid has regained it’s foothold as white supremacy works hard to make sure President Obama has no coattails for other Black Americans to benefit from and rise once again to the highest office in the land! We all must defend our fellow human beings at all costs!

There is nothing so powerful for the greater good than the dignity given to a parent when provided with a job that allows their family to flourish. Artificial Intelligence and robotics are projected to replace about 33% of the American workforce in the coming years not decades!

WIP Something so satisfying deconstructing a piece of art you kind of liked to create something new while listening to a Pavarotti piece, followed by Beatles Dear Prudence and So What by Miles. So cool… #veteranart #abstractart Of course my helper, Lina, crashed without helping

#photog a little rain, or a lot 😬

Drinking from a hose chronicles: Coming of age in the 70s, we played outside in the heat of summer for roughly 12 hours each day. Probably somewhat dehydrated on the regular, cold water came from the hose deliciously after the magma hot water ran its course. Bottled water 🤣 suckers haha 😆

The heat is on

Danielle Deadwyler and Rhiannon Giddens- the visceral look on their faces when Henry Louis Gates, Jr, reveals their ancestors’ enslavement documents. I hate racists! Finding Your Roots is worth watching and each episode goes by too fast. I hate racists! I love good people…

“They Try to Tie us up, but Ropes Can’t Break Us” 2026 Burlap, plaster, twine, cardboard and acrylic on canvas “20x24”

Just a reminder that our crime syndicate regime at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave sold human beings to a concentration camp in El Salvador run by a dictator for cash about a year ago!
