I love this so much!

Every day I think I could not possibly hate him more. And then the next day comes.

The joy of a car ride! Rescue dogs will always give me more than I give them. The world is crazy. So go walk a homeless dog and make his day. Yours, too. #oilpainting #rescuedogs #dogpainting #blueskyart #artyear. Yeah, I know my car is filthy. Dog spit, who cares.

I mean, holy shit!

It should have been so easy to stop. Everyone sane knows he is an evil tyrant. Yet here we are. I miss my country so much.

Harrisburg, Pa, showed up today. #PatriotsforAmerica

My painting of Walt. #oilpainting #portraits #art #beer

So beautiful.

Nothing makes sense. I will use my voice in the only way I know how. I will draw what I see outside my window. It is real and peaceful and true. In dark days, nature is my light. #ArtYear #ClassicMono #drawing #woods #wildlife #snow #pencil #charcoal #winter

When February just won't give up. When Trump is still in power and I've just finished rereading Wuthering Heights. I really need alcohol.

It's been awhile since I've posted a dog painting, and Bluesky could use one for Valentine's Day. Because would there even BE love without animals? #art #oilpainting #dogs

Immersing myself in sunlight as I eat fresh fruit and then painting it is my happy place. These days I'll take any fuckin happy place I can find. #ArtYear #fruit #oilpainting #stilllife #art #selftaught

Omg I miss these folks. Integrity, honor, intelligence, and class. Trump hates America and ruins everything he touches.

I haven't painted in quite awhile. Maybe I felt the need to take a break from mourning. Art helps me express, when I don't know what else to do. This is The Last of the Soup. Because everything tastes better in a pretty bowl. Stay warm, folks. #ArtYear #food #oilpainting #art #soupbowls

This piece of excrement 34-count felon is responsible for 6 bankruptcies and the destruction of our once fine country. Fox enabled it, Magas voted it in, and Republicans have abandoned it all for their own jobs, leaving our country to rot. Shame on them all.

This is mesmerizing. Such talent!

This is absolutely gorgeous!

This is divine.

youtube.com/watch?v=JV6Q... There are still times when I miss Facebook. I made a friend there who introduced me to some fine music. He would post this song for me every Christmas.

You know you're old and uninspired when you display the Thanksgiving card the insurance guy sends you every year. Nice guy tho.

This is great!

Abandoning this current painting, since I can't seem to paint hay at all. But, hay, at least I tried something new. (See what I did there? ☺️)

Just this.❤️

What determines my value? Do I? Is it acceptance by others? Why should I keep trying? For the joy painting gives me! Yet, if so, why am I so easily crushed by the opinions of others? This piece got accepted, anyway. I tell myself, not bad for a self taught artist. But the heart wants what it wants.

These colors! ❤️

Definitely buying this for premiere night! Yeah, so it's a little thing, but I take my happiness where I can these days.

Holy shit this is beautiful.

Emily. He's had this girlfriend for a year now. Tell me I haven't jinxed it by painting her; but she's too adorable to not. Mothers never stop worrying. I just want to die knowing someone loves him besides me. #oilpainting #figurepainting #ArtYear #art

My painting, still on the easel, Clark Likes Spaghetti. #ArtYear #oilpainting #figurepainting #food #BlueskyArt #children

Harrisburg, Pa showed up today, and it was great! Felt kinda like Woodstock Meets a Kick-ass Kids' Birthday Party.

#monochrome #pencil #drawing #art #Blueskyart #artyear #portraits #charcoal oh, and Fuck Trump.

I just don't like today, so here's a rescue dog. I will post what matters to me. Because I Was Here.

This piece is really fun. Dreamy and playful and makes me want to just sit there with a glass of tea.

Dude! This is beautiful!

Hey, lookit, Stephen Miller was spotted at my Lowe's today.

My mother would cook anything I requested for my special birthday dinner. Then she'd say "Come on outside and talk at me a little." We'd rock on the swing. She'd scratch my back. She grated her own fresh coconut for my cake. I haven't had that in 30 years now. Today is my birthday. I am #BlueMonday

Wow.

Jeez this is amazing!

When the news makes me want to crawl back into bed and hide, I see this adorable guy and feel hope. Artists, please keep arting.

Finished Porschia yesterday and could hardly wait to begin - dogs are so much fun to paint! I've been walking this rescue girl weekly for nearly a year. She has had NO lookers at all. Still, my dog walk days are full of snacks, belly scratches, and kickass fun. #YellowThu #rescuedogs #oilpainting

Wow. This is just fabulous.

A painting I was commissioned for years ago by a lady who didn't buy it. She said her black dog looked too gray. I was just devastated. But someone else bought it within weeks. As long as he's being honored on someone's wall, it's all good. #ColorADay #RedWed #dogs #oilpainting #art

#AnimalArtTuesday. Here is my girl, Rockie, who was one of the best cats ever. A brave girl, she'd chase deer into the woods and bop toads on the head when she spotted them in the pond, just to watch them bounce. #art #coloredpencil #cats

This is magnificent.

#SleepySep I think I posted this once before, but it's a favorite of mine. That dear nephew I babysat for years is now 15, and I don't think I'm considered cool anymore. But that's okay, cuz I was lucky as shit back then! #oilpainting #art #figurepainting #children

Casco Bay. I'm trying to teach myself how to do water. People and dogs are much easier! #oilpainting #art #scenery #Maine #landscape
