I agree. I would like to think that a little bit of kindness to people we meet in real or virtual places can do a lot. Thank you for your love bomb plane 🙂

Lovely summer scene. Makes me wish I was walking along that path. Recycled canvas is really interesting. I think people chose materials based on historical trends and habit. I find that many artists are reticent to change their working materials. Material usage can also be regional.

Wide-eyed. Curiosity can change how we see the world. Sometimes seeing things differently changes everything. #BlueSkyArtShow #wide #TraditionalArt #ColoredPencil #EastCoastKin #artbsky #portrait

I'm forever thankful that my parents chose to make Canada their home before I was born. Here is a painting of my favorite corner of the Eastern Townships: Lake Brom. Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 #CanadaDay #sky #lake #clouds #traditionalart #artbsky #oilpainting #WatetWednesday

Lovely work. The softnes of the flowing fabric on the blouse, the hair and the beads are so well done. I love the Renaissance feeling of the piece.

Using AI for homework is to be expected, but that level of carelessness..😬. AI is forcing educators to rethink what counts as knowledge, and that is a far more difficult problem.

I agree. Artists may have known the importance of the body, but many didn’t implement that knowledge in teaching. They conceded to cognitive science accepting the hierarchy of mind over body. Take the idea vs skill debate-as if the material process was not integral to the ability to express an idea.

Yes! Cognitive science was focused on AI - disembodied thinking. Unfortunately, this did the visual arts and art ed a huge disservice. There is a lot of catching up to do, and much room for ongoing research. Or we can just continue to paint and make art.

I like the O'Keefe. She captures the exuberance and joyfulness of the fresh colours of spring. It is positive and full of life. I haven't seen this one before, so thanks Michael. Hockney-feels like an early spring day in the country, but I find it a bit drab. Not his best work.

I am enthralled by old #stone buildings and cathedrals. They are extraordinary sentinels of time that outlive us and our senseless wars. This is the Collégiale in Poissy France, painted some years back. #BlueSkyArtShow #oilpainting #art #architecture

Wow. If they can't find a way to keep their 'family' together, how can Canadians trust what they would do for the country? 😳

There is no excuse or defense for such a senseless crime enacted by the government. It is a heartbreaking loss for her children and family.
