Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Prospect Park, my workplace. Hard work everyday, but the location is A+. #prospectpark 000
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I had to re-edit this one to brighten up the reflections. Artist for scale. #oilpainter #urbanecology #landscapepainting 030
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Autumn in Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn. Likely a ginkgo given the yellow fall foliage. #greenwood #oilpainting #treepainting #landscapepainting #cemetery 070
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Understory: View from Marsha P. Just as I am finishing up my stint at this park, I finished up this somewhat larger painting inspired by time spent in one of Brooklyn’s young urban parks. 54”x40” Oil on canvas. #oilpainting #urbanpark #painter 020
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Almost there. This painting has been 90% done for almost a year. Might be 95% after a lot of work today. 000
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I am so unhappy I don’t know what to do. I tried so hard and every day keeps getting harder. The failure should be enough, the shame of it is too much. 000
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Three rounds of interviews for a dream job and no call back, just silence. As bad a rejection as I’ve had, worse than all the art rejection. Too hard 000
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I just slapped together a submission with these three, all made from imagery at the park where I work. #oilpainting 030
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I’m a good supervisor at work because I do not have the title nor receive the pay of one, so my priority is for my coworkers to stay safe and have a good day. 000

Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 04/07/2026When I travel abroad, and my hosts, compañeros, amis y amigos ask, what I think of America, I say some version of ‘everything you can say about it is true; for good, ill or otherwise, it’s all true.’ 000
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii) is classified as invasive, but it’s a unique looking bloom in the landscape 000
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 20/06/2026A painting in progress. Hard days lately. Still painting a bit. Splashy foliage after one more setup session. #oilpaint 320

Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Why, for the love of tightly pinched fingers 🤌, are we still changing the time twice a year? We might as well swap left and right in January and July just to destabilize people across another dimension 000
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 05/03/2026Snowmelt season is closing out and mud is next then spring. This is a side of the road in upstate NY with the Catskills in the distance. #landscapepainting #snowmelt #oilpainting #upstateny 170
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 02/03/2026There’s a little voice in my head, that I hear when the chatter quiets, that says “do something, make a choice, see what if…”, and that’s probably why I’m an artist. Also that David Hammons snowball piece has really stuck with me. #snowballs #nycparks 010
Mikafino @mikafino.bsky.social · 26/02/2026River of Stars (two Jaspers) - 36”x24” oil on canvas. I’ve been thinking about my ginger cat Jasper today (who is years passed). This painting imagines him lounging alongside a river of stars. It was a sort of overworld map and personal creation myth. #mapart #catart #art #painting #riverofstars 030
