A better photo of the encaustic painting from Open Studios in Boulder
A bit of fun at #Boulder, #Colorado, Open Studios tour. Encaustic isn't my usual medium, but Charli Ornett had wax and small boards available at her studio -- so I gave it a try. I love the sculptural quality of wax. #Encaustic #OpenStudios #art #painting #monochrome #blackandwhite
Haven't posted here in quite a while, but the #sunset on my walk at Twin Lakes in #Boulder #Colorado was to spectacular not to share.

Final image will be "Cyborg City 3000 - Where Guns are so 2025", with a beautiful cyborg in a utopian world. But there's a mushroom cloud on the horizon...
Image 3 in this series will be "Suicide City 2055 - Lots of cold, dead hands", with the model posed multiple times in a circular firing squad

Well, it seems the "Explicit" label was removed after all...
For #BlueSkyArtShow #Earth theme. Somewhere between Denver and LA. I normally get an aisle seat. But with late-afternoon sunlight, the window was magical. #art #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #naturephotography #blackandwhite #bnw #classicmono #monochrome #aerial
Whistling past the graveyard... I miss the old Post.
I thought Bluesky was getting better at label appeals. They slapped an "Explicit Sexual Content" label on this, despite the fact that it was self-labeled as non-sexual/artistic nudity. The appeal was ignored. This discourages self-labeling.
