It was a rainy day but it was nice to see people out making their voice heard. #hands-off

Good evening from New Hampshire.

I continue to have hope as the horrors persist.

I've finished another drawing so now it's time to work on my poster for April 5th.

I'm really not great at painting. I've been trying to improve with watercolors but my skill level is quite poor.

I'm so disgusted by the administration. The blatant narcissistic behavior and bullying. Just shameful.

PS. Here are some wholesome drawings.

It feels like I've been trying to make general progress on a treadmill since 2020..

Any other middle aged old fogies on the struggle bus?

Final 6 of the 30 4"x6" pieces finished!!! Yeah!!!

I'm going to just tplay in my sketchbook for a bit then move on to my more rendered pencil pieces.

It's great to be able to finish these small pieces quite quickly but I'm ready to move on to a different subject and style..

6 more to complete.

Keeping my head down getting these little drawings finished is a decent distraction from the chaos.

4 out of the next batch of 20 finished. The background is more visible once it has been framed.

I have nothing exciting to share. Lol. The world is "exciting" enough.

Realizing, after completing 38 little mixed media pieces that using white gouache on the back of Duralar on top of watercolor paper could cause issues if the piece is subject to humidity.

Hmm.... oops.

2-8-25. Good morning. Just a gentle reminder to take breaks from the news and find moments of peace. #Art #therapy

Thinking how nice it would be to have a cozy little home with a wood stove in the woods where I create art all day and don't have to people again.

Just posting these until the world blows up....

More of these small drawings completed. 19 3.5"x5" finished. Next step will be to complete the watercolor backgrounds for them to lie on top of.

Working on some branding. I always forget this takes forever...

Welp. My FB that I've had for a good 15 years is gone. I just can't justify keeping it. I'm sure IG will be next..
