I'm not sure people heard what our crazy president said HE SAID "CHEAT LIKE HELL" The president of the United States of America just told his supporters to cheat and offered a $5,000 bribe. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!

I picked up two of my original art pieces that had been custom framed. I had never seen, something I made, professionally framed. It took my breath away... like I was seeing them for the first time as an Observor instead of a Creator. #oilpainting #framedart #fineart #arizonaartist #southwestart

Desert Fragility. A 9x12 oil painting of a Native American ceremonial bowl on a bed of turquoise fabric, surrounded by a desert tree bean pod, a brittle brush flower and a cholla. It is matted with tan, the same color as the center of the bowl, and framed with a distressed burlwood frame.

Cosmic Cowboy is an 11x14 oil painting inspired by the musician Charles Ellsworth and his album Cosmic Cannon Fodder. It is framed in a distressed blue wooden frame, matted with earthly red and shows a medium length mirrored cowboy with a cosmos for a face beneath his straw cowboy hat.

#musicchallenge #SeptemberMusicChallenge #ChurchofRock #RyansMonthlyConfessional It's been a while. I figured I would add my own spin to the Music Challenge Mayhem of BlueSky, because why not? I have had a Spotify Channel for a long time called Church of Rock, hence Ryan's Monthly Confessional.

A music challenge calendar. Each challenge is listed on the day. My spotify channel is called Church of Rock, so staying in that theme this music challenge is called Ryan's Monthly Confessional.

Today's opening session on the new piece. Working Title: Poison Ivy Oil on 11x14 canvas panel 6 hours into project.

Reference photo is 5.75 x 6.75 inches. I drew a 1/2 inch grid, and blew that up to a 1 inch grid on the 11x14 canvas. Made slight adjustments on width of left leaves to leave more room for framing.

For the base layer, I put down a mixture of Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, and Sap Green heavily thinned with mineral spirits. I wanted this base layer to be less warm, less inviting, with hints of decay and sickness. This entire piece is to be colored with emotional color theory. It is a surreal piece, not going for realism here.

The background has three distinct color areas: Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Yellow Hue, Cadmium Yellow Medium for the aura around the hand. This Yellow is meant to exude cowardice or even infection. In the center, behind the heart of the plant is a mixture of Viridian Green, Sap Green and just a hint of Cadmium Yellow Medium to exude envy, resentment. Finally the outer areas are Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Pthalo Blue, Cadmium Red Deep and Alzarian Crimson to depict mystery, and unknown motivations.

Upon beginning the foreground, it became immediately clear that the background was too dark. I have a tendency to start too dark in every painting, and I end up lightening the backgrounds. I'm also not too sure about the fire, or spark element to the
Yellow aura. As I lightening the background, this should be more of a sickly glow rather than bright vibrancy.

The blues in the leaves are a color string on the IMR System personality test. The philodendrun, a white wizard varietal, is depicting a color string of Blue: the Tragic Roamtic.

You see art specials, documentaries, well-written articles, that explain: the artist was going through this incredible tragedy, and you look at the work, and stand memorized. What is happening in my life right now is more painful than I have the skill to paint. I do not want to paint peppers.

This is only the beginning. He has no plans to leave office or allow free elections. Nor are his plans hidden—they're all unfolding in plain sight. The Insurrection never ended and the Christofascists won't stop until our democracy is gone. Choose who you'll be in this moment.

You gotta give to the GOP. They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

He is correct. It is right-wing news saying one outlandish thing after another to get stoopid people to agree and educated to debate. Causing debate and division. "Left wing news" spends its time countering with overly polite reporting, not to offend right wingers.

Did some #oilpainting today. First, the three images show the #paintcoach method which is to paint in three main stages. Simplify. Shape. Sharpen. The final image is my final #oilout step on this completed painting. GUACAMOLE 5x7 oil on linen panel DESERT FRAGILITY 9x12 oil on canvas panel

For the Simplify Step, squint your eyes, look for big shapes, and be sure your positioning is correct. Do not worry about details at this phase. Just large shapes of color.

The Shape Step is going through each shape and establishing smaller shapes to define form through value relationships. Here you add those darkest dark values. You paint the top planes of the tomato in a lighter value color, building to the highlight. You look for a darkest dark, a mid value, and a lightest light for each main part of the onion. You keep your brushstrokes in the direction of the onion skin. You establish shadow values to add depth to the avocado.

Sharpen can go on forever. You decide how far you want to refine each element. Here I added the shadow and highlight values on the seed as well, and blended those edges. I also added very think paint left raised on the canvas to represent the soft flesh of the avocado ripped from splitting it open and stuck to the seed.

A final oilout layer 3 parts Galkyd Lite 1 part Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits applied thinly with a 1 inch flat brush. This brings all of the values back with a unifying glossy sheen that also adds a protective layer between the oil paint and the varnish protective coat.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

When he launched this war, the President vowed regime change and “unconditional surrender.” What has he gotten? We went from Ayatollah Khamenei to Ayatollah Khameini Jr. - and are now negotiating over a 10-point plan written by the Iranians.
