Taking time my body asked for, more like demanded, but whatever Hope everyone is able to do the same, to look after your needs, spend time with loved ones, and to be gentle with yourself and the world.

Hibernating Chronic pain makes you want to hide like an injured animal being chased. Little too real…might delete later. #pen #watercolor #portrait

Bluesky continues to put content labels on partially nude pencil sketches and paintings. lmao #freethenipple

Wile of Eris I know there's a hat #pin in there somewhere. lol. #MakersmARTch #MkrsmARTch #oilpainting #portraiture #contempoaryartist #figureative

If you wanna know why Dems lose all the damned time, right here you go. This kind of bullshit right here. We’ve got an aspiring dictator tearing our country apart and these idiots are still too concerned about decorum and standards. Get these assholes out of office.

Something #soft today. Once upon a time I had two lovable pigeon pets, and fostered many. I do miss them, and hope I'm able to adopt more again when I have more energy. #palomacy #pigeon #MakersmARTch #MkrsmARTch #oilpainting

It's time to call democratic leaders today and tell them to stop being feckless, to stand up to Trump/Elon. We need them to do more. Make noise! Remind them how history remembers figures like Neville Chamberlain, who rolled over for Hitler. Call 202-224-3121 to be directed to your representative.

"Everybody Wants to be King" Took a little break from here as I contemplated the fall of American democracy. :0 #MakersmARTch #MkrsmARTch #Buttons #oilpainting #portraiture

A little acrylic painting. Definitely not my preferred medium, but can be a great substitute when oils aren't practical. #ARTFLOOD2025 #MakersmARTch #woven

Today Buy nothing except from small businesses.

"Perpetuity of Being" #magenta #februarty #februarty2025 #figurativepainter #oilpainting

My previous post had a content warning placed on it stated it's "sexually suggestive". It's an oil painting w a partially nude figure. This has happened before on here and the appeal process does nothing. The label says there is no nudity, so showing a bare chest is not the reason for the flag WTF

Another one for today. "Danse Macabre" #artshare #februarty #februarty2025 #figurativepainting #oilpainting

Something a little different today. #artshare #februarty #februarty2025 #oilpastel

Some of my cat themed paintings at the #cactusgallery. When stress is high, hug your pets. <3 #cat #oilpainting #figurativepainter #contemporaryartist

Trips to nature have always been a kind of therapy for me. It's so disheartening seeing all of our national parks being gutted by this administration. I want to be hopeful, but this is just sad. #sensoryart #februarty #februarty2025 #trees #rough #nokingsday

"And Everybody Would Have the Memories" Inspired by the book "The Giver". This was an old piece I made for a group exhibit at the #modernedengallery titled "Storybook" #februarty #februarty2025 ##figurativepainting #contemporaryartist #bigandsmall

Waking up to more chaos in the news is wearing so many of us down, and I think that's the point. #monochrome #februarty #februarty2025 #blueskyartshow #oilpainting #contemporaryartist

Another old one. #februarty #februarty2025 #oilpaint #eyes #contemporaryartist

Today's prompt for #februarty is #eyes This piece was for a show at the Modern Eden gallery titled "Lover's Eye". I found this frame in an old antique store and painted little eyes on the frame as well. #februarty2025 #artshare #oilpainting #eyes #moderneden #lover'seye

"Wrung" I've made so many paintings over the last 15 years. Some I remember, some I don't. But there's a few that remind me of exactly what I was doing and feeling during that period. This is one of them. #Februarty2025 #figurepainting #oilpainting #contemporaryartist #februarty #artyear
