This print came out nice! It’s funny how every piece I paint starts to take a new meaning in the age of chaos. There’s still some light breaking through if you look for it. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #artisresistance #gicleeprinting #newtobluesky

Trying out some new Giclee prints and the colors are spot on except for the oranges that are printing just a bit too red. Need to adjust and try again!

Just a start of something new. I’m working on trying to keep it loose, but not let it go too crazy.

Worked on this little painting for a few hours today. I am finding the need to paint lately, and I’m definitely gravitating towards children, moms, and honestly just vulnerability and innocence. Art is in itself an act of resistance.

Found a fantastic reference for these hands and got lost in this painting on a surprise day off. With a few interruptions I worked on this for 6 hrs or so. I might go touch up the pottery, the bottom of the left hand, and even enlarge the wheel and even it out…but I’m leaving it for a while.

Just the beginning…

I painted this little painting probably 6 months ago, and then abandoned it into the painting graveyard. I stumbled across it again and put an hour or two in - bringing it to life. It’s amazing how much perspective time can give you.

Done. Quick and imperfect and vulnerable and done.

Working through a tough week, and carving myself a little time in the studio. I’m finding that in times of stress I gravitate towards painting figures, and it’s a learning curve and a challenge.
