Been basically just working on some commissions lately when I have the time, but I finished this particular piece yesterday. "Teacher", 5/30/2025. My first real attempt at drawing a horse. I'm actually very pleased with how it turned out. #art #pencilart #horses

So true. So much of what I create is to say things in those works I cannot in words, out loud, that must otherwise be kept hidden-- at least, that is, for a time. Many because I lack the language; many others because of propriety and sacred regard. But I've learned to love and harness that tension.

When I picked up a pencil and started to draw for the first time in twenty years, this is the sort of thought that compelled me, and so far I think it has served me well... "just draw". Just figure I'll tell myself the same thing for writing: "Just write". #justwrite #writers

Spent much of the morning catching and holding baby goats for vaccinations and such. Found out that they don't really behave for selfies. These two darlings cooperated. Hope everyone enjoys their day. #goatlife #animals

"Simple Expression" 4/1724 Kinda just wanted to go for something with a minimalist art deco feel to it with this one. #art #romance #pencilart

"Virgin Snow", 4/1/2025. I've always had a love affair with winter scenes, like stuff from old Currier and Ives prints. This ain't quite it, but I think it's got the same spirit... with my style. #art #pencildrawing

ALMA has found oxygen in the youngest known galaxy! That suggests, a mere 300 million years after the Big Bang, the earliest generation of stars had already lived and died, making and releasing new elements in the process 🧪🔭 www.space.com/the-universe...

Oxygen discovered in most distant galaxy ever seen: 'It is like finding an adolescent where you would only expect babies'

"I was astonished by the unexpected results because they opened a new view on the first phases of galaxy evolution."

I've had nothing *but* support from all my friends for my sobriety, and I'm incredibly grateful for it. #sobriety #recovery
