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.

They are closed today but hit them up this weekend and get a great looking brunch like this.
Coco's coconorth.com in Washburn, Wisconsin. Great food, great people.
Happy Turkey day.

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.

Non-representional. A archway of loose brushstrokes in mostly reds. The space beneath the arch is mostly blues in a loose brushstroke.

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.

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.

maybe 2018, or before?

A series of overlapping shapes and colored lines. The lines sit over the overlapping shapes in a tilted manner. Black background, shapes are blues, yellow, beige, and orange. the four lines are light blue, red, green and a grey with red line in the middle of it.

Glow in the dark skeleton. Though the label says spine, this is a frontal view.

Bottom of a petri dish.
Like @warren.senate.gov says: grow a spine and get back to work.

A greenish blue circle with speckles of other colors. Could be the remains of a bad experiment in governing or perhaps a lack of a spine has left a puddle of glutinous slime.

Light frost last night. Heavy frost predicted for tonight.
The garden still offers up a few things but soon the only thing still producing will be the cold frame.

A dance.

pre-2019. I'm pretty bad with dating work. Found this looking for something from 2024.
Anyhow, after a rousing day for democracy we deserve a little dance, don't ya think?

two calligraphic forms, the one on the left is taller with a strong blue angled upright line with an arm like form that reaches to the right. It has a few strokes of mostly vertical black The other form, shorter and squatter is to the right of the other. its main body is also blue with black accents. Both are at a slight angle to the left suggesting movement. "You can dance if your wanna."
