This lil birdy fell out of my brush. Turns out it is the bird and plant favorite of a dear friend's late mother. Did I channel a departed spirit into paint? I certainly didnt intend to paint these.

Sometimes I sit at a blank canvas and let the painting inform itself, let it unlfold of its own accord. So this one happened. Upon looking at it, I realzed it's a bit of an anxiety piece. Oil on canvas 36×24 ##oilpainting #painting #nocturne #meteorite

You've thrown a net over it all to catch it, but then you lost the freedom you had; you captured yourself in the net. #time #longitude #calculus #philosophy

The painting in your mind, the painting you create, and the painting the audience sees: are theee different pieces. I present this sketch paint of Sparks Lake Oregon and Mt B. Not what I set out to paint, but i love it. ##oilpainting #oilpaint #painting #sparkslake #volcanic #landscape

"Dog with Pearl Earring After Vermeer" is the laborious title of this fun piece, now in placement in clients house awaiting a frame. Client happy, artists happy, dog happy (but perennially looking sad) #oilpainting #painting #dogart #dog #dogportrait #vermeer

Havent done a self portrait in a while, but after a small break from painting, thought it would be a good project to warm back up with.

How does one Observe life whilst also Live it? At parties, events, or even in nature, I find myself having to take time out to Observe. To almost stop Experiencing a thing and start Examining it. Shape, form, color, ect #artist

The #DivineGoddess project: Find 12 models, discover what aspect of the Divine Goddess the imbue, or would like to, even, paint them. This is the first of the series, entitled "Kali's Yuga". Never thought I'd paint Kali, but this is the #Goddess that manifested. #art #painting #divinefeminine #kali

Life is not a renewable commodity. Each life is precious and new and something hitherto totally unseen before. That's me, you, that bird and tree over there.
The greatest tricked ever played on us is the idea that ANY life has more value than any other life. #life #humanism #lifeisprecious
