Cozy winter morning and a great day to paint.

Paintings in one of my sketchbooks. These were done in about 20 mins sessions. You don’t always need a lot of time to paint. #blueskyart #blueskyartist #painting #mixedmedia #animalart #wildlifeart #contemporaryart

I’m very happy with how my newest painting turned out. I have an interest in folk art and I can see how it is influencing my art. #art #mixedmedia #artist #painting #wildlifeart #folkart #fawn #blueskyart #blueskyartist

I wanted to make art today but could only make truth. #protestart #art #artist #blueskyart #blackandwhitephoto

I’m sick. MN is gonna be a test run for full crackdown. ICE just shot another one of us. In broad daylight. Someone’s loved one shot multiple times at point blank range while already piled on by many ICE agents. He is dead. They fucking murdered him.

This is practice in my sketchbook. Eventually I want to paint a fox in a painting. But right now I am getting the feel for the drawing and learning new techniques with watercolor. It’s ok to start over and begin again. In fact it’s really fun! #art #natureart #blueskyart #sketchbook #watercolor
