After a summer shower, wet with rain…

Just pulled this out of the oven- got to let it cool. Let me know what you think. 30x24, acrylic #painting #stilllife #art #studiolife #bluesky

It continues. Good progress today is usually tomorrow’s disappointment. So be it. #studiolife #painting #hotsummerlong #downtownmacon

Work week begins. #Monday #Studiolife #painting ##artist

The de Kooning show at the @artinstitutechi.bsky.social was a stunner. He is an omnivore. There’s an Archaic Greek sculpture in one sketch. He’s an ancient buried in an archeological pit and ultimately becomes the young kid digging and scraping out the artifacts.

4 quick drawings from @artinstitutechi.bsky.social Cezanne, Hopper, Giacometti, and the magical Cornell. #drawing

Y’all- Obama Presidential Center! It’s amazing, with my Queen and joy everywhere. Georgia folks at John Lewis plaza, we passed around our cameras like a bucket of boiled peanuts. #hope

Demo for #drawingclass as the semester nears the end. Large, ~5 minutes with vine #charcoal It's one thing to explain, whole other level to show (and closer the edge of disaster). #artteacher #Studiolife

From last night's #lifedrawing class featuring Mane Mkhitaryan on violin and accompanied on cello. This jam set a vibe of the highest order for playing #charcoal like a slide guitar. Appreciations to these ladies... #artteacher #studiolife
