Oil painting on Stonehenge paper (which I love, texture-wise, like board, for detailed rendering). Limited gamut masking palette. Restaurant in Asheville, NC at closing time. References were old photos from a decade ago. There are a few wonky spots to clean up. 🧽 📏 📐 🎨 #art #painting #asheville

I am not a big social media person as an artist so have to remind myself to come around and post some things. Here are 4 recent 5x7 inch oil paintings! Metal objects series. #art #oilpainting #metal

This oil painting: A moment in a copper rectangle. Speaking of rectangles, need to work on the left side casement window that is propped open.

Painting of a window seat area, in a blue room. The sun has broken through mist after rain, seen outside.

The purpose if this was to paint fast. This was a real change-up for me. It’s a loose style. I could see doing a series of small paintings, likely leave unframed and make them available for sale at October’s POST (Philadelphia Open Studio Tours) weekend. I am more partial to the one on the left:

My daughter in my new studio space. I hear gunfire the whole time from the shooting range across the street but I don’t mind. I do indulge the surreal and our relationship to our time and to technology - and the ice cream truck rolls around and plays its music alongside the gunfire. #philly #studio

A little painting from autumn. This may be the first and last time I try to paint like this with (the tiny pointy end of a) palette knife. I admire those who can paint with its broad edge as if spreading jam on toast.

A short guide to how my art is generated in my head. At left, the muse enters with my kettle, puts on water for my current favorite coffee*. I, on right, get to work despite being broken. *Sigmatic Think currently. Don’t worry if you drink this too. It can’t possibly be responsible for maximalism.

I take a break from the regular painting and drawing broadcast to bring you #Metropolis mood. Amazing 1927 film. Take a break, regroup, cool down, go back to visual language. Say something, even if only about a moment:

An oil painting from May 2024. Vintage thermos. 1970s-1980s. Pure nostalgia, with a drawing pad backdrop. #bsky.art #FebruArty

Hand sketches. Some say they don’t like drawing or painting hands. I think I have spent a lot of time in life noticing hands. They tell stories. Mine have lifted babies, worked crops, painted, typed long papers, opened portals, climbed mountains, raised up to speak and pulled into fists.

I use oil but also love acrylics. I hated the waste though. For any artists who follow me and who have encountered frustration with fast-drying acrylics. I discovered these wet palettes that game miniatures (figurine) painters use. You can get days instead of minutes out of it.

A neurospicey painting from my neurospicey mind. Mindmap motifs. Environmental tip for artists: If you paint with acrylic and want to clarify the water before it goes down the drain, use the Golden Crash Paint Solids Waste Water system. It works to filter out the paint.

Political moment art I made last night. Institutional-grown monsters towering over blue birds on the water. Exploring other media for a class. I usually speak in paint.

My best friend just said “there are now people who have lived before and after civil rights. There are people who were born before civil rights, they obtained rights, and now they are losing them.” Im speechless.

I trade in mood not memes, I suppose. Acrylic and charcoal. American Moment: (Posted this on other acct as I will sometimes share national mood and other types of things like photography.)

Thinking about my porch in summertime. It was this that I was going to paint (over the flaking white trim) around screens on Memorial Day when I had a freak accident and broke femur neck badly. Sketch 5 months later, crutches out of view.

An oil paint sketch inspired by coverage of fires out west (US), almost a couple of years ago. The small figures near the fire line are firefighters. These and high rise infernos are incredibly daunting. I come from gparent and ggparent firefighters but can’t imagine being in it at these scales.

One of my New Orleans related still life oil paintings, with that place in my heart today.

An early still life oil painting I did 2 yrs ago. On cotton canvas. A TA in the RISD certificate of art program I am in now said of my more recent work: you really explore surfaces and texture. Yes, I see that. I really loved also showing the effects of *time* here. Patina. #oil #art #painting

WAR/PEACE In addition to realism and surreal oil paintings, I do some other work in acrylic. Working through bigger ideas, sometimes or responding to our present moments spontaneously. As a medium, I like its workability in energetic, calligraphic mark making. #war #peace #art

Got acquainted with gouache and did some designy paintings over the summer while hobbling through recovery. Yes, trauma inspired. I photographed my crutches at different angles, constructed a composition digitally with them and used that as my reference. It captures being overwhelmed.

Small studies (experiments) that lived in my studio for a few months. That guy’s limbs fell off. He’s not kiln fired. It seemed fitting given I’d crack my leg off a couple of months later.

My almost-done oil painting of the corner of my garage. I bought the pink bike this past summer after I had a freak terrible home project accident Memorial Day that broke my femur neck, leading to what now looks like a junk drawer of hardware in there on xray. I could bike better than I could walk.

My profile pic is from this painting which is about the sort of living death of waiting to paint and not yet doing it. I used more ancient hues because, well, painting is pretty ancient and I am convinced of the merits of this art thing as a human activity.
