sometimes I’ll be doing a material study with paint and something happens that makes me go “oooh maybe this is a painting?” then a few layers later i do way too much and i start to feel demoralized then immediately go “well, this is an interesting material study!” and honestly? doing the bit helps

Is it “true crime”? Is it horror? Could be. It *is* a memoir. I would argue that it’s sadly, disturbingly, timeless. Free shipping Oct 6-7 from Bookshop. bookshop.org/p/books/exca...

Hadn’t made one of these in awhile. Early fall light, remembering New York.
Gouache treated like watercolor—many overlapping irregular vertical rectangles in muted blues, greens and browns from deep to light wash. They bleed into and through each other in places giving the impression of dappled light.

I’m not really a Halloween person but it’s my first one while living with a black cat, so maybe I will have to make room for Jupiter’s culture? how does this work

"Maple", oil on canvas, 12x16", 2026- $950(Cdn) #art #landscape #cityscape #trees #canadianart #painting
A painting of a view of the maple tree & the tree of heaven behind it in my backyard with 2 red brick houses behind. The house on the left is obscured by branches & leaves, and in the bottom left corner vines cover the fence. The fence continues along the bottom edge to the right corner covered by greenery. Behind the fence is a taupe coloured vinyl sided shed in my neighbour's yard. A dark tarp hangs under the shed's eaves, blowing slightly in the breeze.

We can be steaming mad at each other. That is natural. I'm not telling you your rage is wrong. I'm telling you you have to figure it out.

today i submitted a painting to a juried art exhibition. i’ve put my writing out in the world plenty of times before, so much so that it didn’t initially feel like a huge deal — but this a first for me!
