First snow of the year wasn’t joking around…

A hillside covered in snow, with a more distant hillside, covered in snowy pine trees behind it. A trail curving off toward the left beneath the viewpoint, with a small brown dog trotting along it.

[mh puzzle] Inner asshole boss, inner worker, and inner child collaborating (?) to accomplish a blue house with white trim.

The front of a freshly painted blue house with white trim. Several ladders, lean against the house. A little brown dog stands in the open front doorway.

I got locked in painting today. Not sure I’ve ever done four hours straight! I finished the underpainting a couple days ago and did the whole sky today. #painting #trees #mountain #WorkInProgress

1 of three . A painting of a large pine tree on a snowy horizon line. In this picture the underpainting is done.

2 of three . A painting of a large pine tree on a snowy horizon line. In this picture, after three hours of work, the sky is painted around the tree, a little bit darker than the rest.

3 of three . A painting of a large pine tree on a snowy horizon line. In this picture, the whole sky has been darkened around the tree. I’m going for the look of a very overcast day in which, somehow, this tree stands in the sun.

A small thing making me happy this spring: The Northern Flickers in my neighborhood (think: woodpecker’s cousin) have figured out that if they rap their bills on the top of the street lamps it makes a great noise that travels far. They seem to be using it as a […] [Original post on mas.to]

An image (lifted from Wikipedia) of a northern flicker, a slightly larger than robin-sized bird with a long sharp beak, and dark horizontal stripes over pale feathers on its wings and back.

Skipped the Super Bowl to make a batch of beer and welcome it into the world by drinking a bottle that I’ve kept around for… a while.

Two big (really big) pots on a range. You can just see some very dark liquid through the steam in the closer of the two.

A bottle and a pint glass on a counter top. The bottle says “The Abyss” from Deschutes Brewery, 2019 Reserve. The glass is full of a very dark beer.

This is my favorite received-gift for a long time. My girlfriend’s mom is a ceramic artist. She collaborated with another artist to make this raven mug for Christmas (I have an affinity for ravens…) and it’s wonderful! Morning coffee warms me in two ways now. #ceramics #ravens #coffee

A coffee mug. There’s a pen-and-ink style image of a raven in flight, with wings at the bottom of a flap, and primary feathers curling forward extravagantly.

A coffee mug. There is a pen and ink style image of a raven perched on a branch (or something.) the ravens back is to the viewer and the Raven looks off towards the right.

A coffee mug. There’s a pen and ink style image of two feathers, roughly in a yin and yang shape.

A coffee bag is sitting on the counter. The inside of the mug is brown, a warm orange hue. On the handle of the mug, there is a feather drawn.

Would you like this fox to come and live at your house? It’s possible! (at least in a two-dimensional way). If you’d like a print of this painting, please get in touch and we will make it happen. #mastoart #painting #fox

A red fox stands in a grassy field, seemingly at night, though the fox is fully visible and well lit. In the background, a pine tree twists above the horizon line, silhouetted against a starry sky.

I just finished this fox painting! Been working sporadically on it for quite some time… but it’s done. I wanted a dream-like, magical realism feel, and I’m happy with how it came together! #painting #acrylic #mastoart

A painting on an easel. A red fox stands in the foreground looking at the viewer. In the background the silhouette of a tree stands on the horizon against a starry sky.

Hi all! Here’s a couple pics from the hike up Crazy Peak last Saturday. The Crazies are a cool Island range in Central Montana and Crazy Peak is the high point. Climbing from the western shoulder leads you along a sharp ridge with views way out into the valleys and prairies on all sides.

A person (me) and a dog (Ida) are on a rocky mountain summit. Surrounding them are rugged mountain peaks under a clear blue sky.

My friend and my dog descend a steep mountain ridge that extends off into the distance. The distant horizon holds more mountains under a blue sky.

Conditions were perfect, so 10 y.o. and I invented a new way to goof off while skiing—tree bowling. Sound on… #skiing #mountains #snow #bowling

It’s the first day of the spring semester, but for #MountainMonday , a few pics from a great day skiing last week… #mountains #skiing #backcountry

A skier in the middle distance climbs up an open snowy meadow towards the crest of a hill. The trees on the hill are crusted with snow and frost, shining white in the afternoon sunshine. There are some reddish colored rocks emerging from the snow towards the crest of the hill. The sky is a deep blue.

A snow covered hillside in deep fog. There are a few few trees scattered around the scene covered in big pillows of snow. The view is up a steep hill, and the snow looks deep and untracked. The fog leaves everything shrouded and dimly lit.

A man standing at the top of a hill, looks off to the right. behind him clouds and hills stretch off for dozens of miles into the distance beneath a blue sky. The evening sunlight comes into the picture from the right side and creates deep contrast on every surface.

The good news is… there’s mountains. And really long ski lines with great snow all the way down. #backcountry #skiing #mountains

A distant snow-covered mountain rises above clouds into a blue sky. In the foreground, I t’s framed by two snow covered trees that are very tall and narrow.

Looking out over a very broad valley from the top of a very high mountain. Portions of the valley are full of clouds and fog in the near ground is a dead tree lit by slanting evening sunlight, and covered in four or 5 inches of frost or rime.

Happy New Year! I was lucky enough to kick 2024 to the curb in a fire lookout. We kept the little stove stoked to keep warm against the howling wind and snow, and in the morning—wonder!

A landscape with a rocky butte in the middle distance. Light streams through the clouds across dark hills and an occasional white snowy meadow.

A landscape with frost covered trees in the foreground. Behind the trees are rolling hills and stretching off dozens of miles into the distance beneath the blue sky with sunlit white clouds.

An old fire tower on stilts rises up above the horizon. The stairs and railings are covered in frost. Behind the tower is a blue sky dotted with sunlit, white clouds.
