Must remember...

Mixed media collage, 9 x 6 inches

We have future generations and the health of this planet to protect. It can't be all about business as usual, or profit above lives, or nature as our disposable resource. That has to be our gift to the future.

what to do with all the presidential shit

as hopes and dreams go up on smoke

I am a confirmed minority in this land. We have elected a man, a reality TV star, who denigrates anything other than white males and clearly fosters the rape culture. I am scared, and I feel this vote as intensely personal.

Match Light

The days are getting shorter- and much darker. Time to light a match and assess the painting progress of the year.

Found this small painting stashed in a suitcase under the chest in the living room. I left it there, for now. It's about the beginnings of the ending. Acrylic, gold leaf on wood panel, about 9 x 6 inches.

Nuts on the porch in NY

Erratic behaviors, short attention spans, and the constant hustling today what we may need for tomorrow. It's the Fall! Daylight savings time!

Paper bags

Maybe this was inspired by the sugary limbo we find ourselves in between the Trick-or-treating  behind us and the corporate black Friday Holy day ahead?

Student work- pastel on paper

Drawing what we believe we see

My student's work on rendering believable eyes in pencil and charcoal.

It's hard for me to focus on day to day stuff. I am feeling jittery and nervous about the presidential election, now only 4 days away. I can't believe we are even this stupidly close to having a Trumpocalypse. Why has that man not turned over his tax returns? He must be as crooked as he sees others to be. His world view is tragic and injurious. He and his band of paranoid followers have dragged this country through slimy spiteful mud, stirring up divisions, derision and encouraging delinquent behaviors. I want someone in the office who is a grown up, who can ensure the rights of diversity that make this country great and who understands and defends our inspired constitution!

I am with her

Everyone vote!
