Newcomer to My Garden
Oil on Panel

Available

After months of show prep, website building, etc, I finally cracked. I am not done with my website, but I needed to paint.

This #poppy is a newcomer to my #garden and it shatters the world awake every morning.

Hi Bluesky, I've been so busy preparing my first solo show & launching Sky Factory Art Space, a new gallery in Freeville. I'd love to share these though and more about my show in the upcoming week.

A #painting from my local landscapes series. The hills just east are unreal bowls within bowls w/ this scene perched within them and inside of me.

something different and so fun

I live in an old firehouse, which is going to get painted soon. Before we see this mint legacy go, a friend #Ghiblified it. Thanks friend and chatgpt. We've also been using it to mock up different colors.

It made me look like an old man, which is good.

Fresh Prospect Every Hour
Painted Denim
2021

A throwback to yesterday for #ThrowbackThursday. I pulled a phrase from Thoreau & painted a #floral #stilllife on this #clothingswap jacket. I still wear it.

Golden Hour in My Living Room
2025
#SensoryArt #light week

Light streams into this space where we do so much, most afternoons as the sun sets beneath the clouds - even on those days that were mostly grey, which is most days.

c.u. from a painting that "was" done, yesterday

My new painting, Consumed by Love, today proved to be still unfinished. In short, free of it, I fell back in love with it, and began to really finish it. See added details to soccer ball, etc.

I love where I live.

detail from a painting called On Island So and So
2022

Technically an #iguana but also adaptable and in a suit of multiplicity, so also definitely a #chameleon of colors. Also check out the Black-Headed Trogan.

Nested
2024

Small dove in a backyard tree nook making use of #camouflage is not enough when you are having lover's quarrels loudly on and off all morning. Here she is taking a rest in the nest from it all.

Gorgeous shot, I love the colors and the intimacy. As I write this I can here a cardinal singing.

The first chance I've had to catch a male cardinal in a long while. He was content to sit close enough for quite a while.
