Worked a little more on the recent spread in my sketchbook. I love doing these kinds of pages because there's not much thinking while I do. I just pull out paints one at a time from a group I've gathered to the side. #artjournals #sketchbook

Trying to clean out my studio but can't help sitting down and playing in the sketchbook... #artjournals #sketch

Lighting's a bit wonky today. More #artjournal pages in the experimentation phase.

An #artjournal spread and my baby-boo, Ruthie. Fortunately, the monsoon is trying to make its presence known, so we've got clouds and cooler temps today. It's 92 right now! For us, that's cool.

A local library in Virginia has successfully stopped a takeover by a private equity group.

Working on more rural type landscapes. Making up my own villages. It's really just more of an experiment with certain materials and certain combos of them. #artjournal #sketchbook

Another imaginary town and some other practice in the sketchbook/art journal. When the real world gets too much, jump in your journal and create ANYTHING. #artjournal #sketchbook

Thinking of those in Minnesota today. And those who are heading out to No Kings protests. STAY SAFE. Finished my spread of Passau, Germany, one of our stops on the Danube. Ruthie's bummed because it's SO hot out. Supposed to be 108 today, 113 tomorrow. #sketchbook #artjournal

Working with Neo II's today. I like that they're water-soluble. I also used a little Holbein gouache here and there. This is an imaginary town...

I've been experimenting and just painting to DO something. I'm so discombobulated right now with everything that's going on. #artjournal

I've been sketching and painting in my handmade art journal (Fabriano paper). I'm going to capture a river cruise this way. I want to loosen up more, but still feel rigid. I got bogged down halfway through but pushed myself to finish. I'll do spots for a while to build up the muscle... #artjournal

More experiments in the journal... #artjournal #sketchbook

Experimenting in the journal with Italian landscapes. Gouache and colored pencil. A little Neocolor II. #artjournal

Well, this is not good news for the #kidlit world--or for the US in general, of course.

Playing with the idea of a sketchbook/art journal workshop taped during a river cruise...

It's unclear who the students are or why their visas were revoked, but they face deportation under Trump's crackdown on student speech via @jwashing.bsky.social/@azluminaria.bsky.social

A few recent spreads from the #artjournal. Last one is just getting started.

REDEEM THE DREAM...

Got rear-ended yesterday. I just "love" driving in AZ.

Posting some original art in my shop. LOTS of dogs! Please take a look! #dogsofbluesky

What’s the move now, @schumer.senate.gov?

Thundering and RAINING in Tempe, AZ. Can't even remember the last thunderstorm we had!!!

Final chickens spread in #artjournal.

Working on chickens... #artjournal

Raining in AZ today and it's about time. I love to be able to stay home in the studio and get creative. Let's see if I can do that even with the current political climate.
