Intersecting circles of influence. #abstractart #kunst #contemporaryart #analogart #handpainted #foundpaper
#staywell ##bekind #changeyourstory
Seven vaguely circular forms intersect, some over lapping, one sits next to but does not intersect the other forms. Mostly red, red-orange colors but for the non-intersecting form which is brownish.

Unofficial walk like a penguin day here along the #uppermississippiriver. A good snow dump almost distracts one from the horrors they are doing to our brothers and sisters.

#penguin #incorrectillustration #art #artsky #kunst
A penguin looking to our right, standing what appears to be an ice sheet. In the background (the recent past, if you will) a horizontal line of open water, and beyond autumn colors one might see along the Mississippi River.

2 images next to each other that share similar elements including rectangles that start lower of the left side of the page and are higher on the right side of the image. The images also have circular elements and blue is a prominent color.

Scientists recently combined the DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab.
Things went sideways real fast.

Abstract forms with a series of mostly vertical linear shapes of various colors lapsed by three, mostly blue, forms placed in mostly horizontally that have the vertical linear forms woven around them. This is from my #orphanboxoflostprojects. It was started some years ago when a friend was with an illness that killed her.

Spending time walking the woods now we can see the trees laid bare with all their bruises, breaks, wounds, continued battle to grow and survive in a hostile environment.
With them as models how could we dare give up on this life.

Swan song for the avian visitors along the River. They will soon descend in large flocks with thousands of voices telling the latest news. Not quite a song but certainly a racket.

In most of the U.S., formaldehyde contributes more to outdoor cancer risk than any other toxic air pollutant.

Look up your address to see risks from the chemical on your block and where it comes from:

This one is tough to verbalize. A large leaf print with yellow, blue, green, bright yellow-green shapes partially seen underneath. Dominate color is a dark red-brown in some places almost black.
