"Two crewmen rowed them through the eerie red water, their oars catching on water weeds. Father and Ihrael clutched their documents and what few supplies they had. Turtles surfaced left and right, witnessing their passage." JS Allen, Spoon Knife 9: Numbers autpress.com

Day 20 of my #ArtAdventCalendar ✨ “There's Such A Lot of World to See” — a reminder of how much beauty waits just beyond the bend. This piece is full of movement, color, and curiosity. Only a few days left in the calendar, and I’m loving every moment of sharing my work. #torilart #art #painting

When the mercury plummets to -40° (where Celsius and Fahrenheit finally agree), most sensible creatures burrow inward. But not in the Yukon. Here, in this land where exhaled breath crystallizes mid-air and exposed skin stings within seconds, I found myself moved to dance Bhangra.

One of my favorite things about lucid dreaming is talking to other people inside the dream. I wrote down what I said: "See how I'm floating? I can only do that in dreams, which means... this is all a dream. Do you believe me? You still have to go on pretending... Just like in real life, right?"

Don't care what you haters say, I like the Amazon Lord of the Rings show. Fun to see the origin of the rings and what makes Sauron so scary. And Tom Bombadil!

Here is a color version. This is a bit of a departure from my usual colorized calligraphy works - it has much more of a "mosaic" feel.
