Haha it is fun. I don't have a ton of subscribers but I love sending letters anyway so it's not a big burden. I think the big sub ones post a ton more on social media and I'm not sure I really want to do that.

Yeah a workshop teacher told me that as well. Framing is weird too. I just made a packet with the glass directly against the painting.

A lot of you know me from my work in web dev over the years. A couple of years ago, I realized I was good at getting things done, but not good at slowing down enough to really experience life. Painting became my way of changing that...

For me the first bite of a fresh grown tomato is when summer really starts. These lovelies looked like jewels in the sun when I spotted them at the farmer's market. "Summer Heirlooms" This will be the first print in my art print club... #watercolor

If I don't mess up the final layers, I'll use this artwork for my 1st month subscription to an art print club - for $10 you get an art print, tiny linoprint, and letter from me in the mail. (Only $2 international letter). Interested? I'm waiting to get print sample photos before launching

🍅 This one is taking a while to finish, but I love it. I rotate around the tomatoes to paint each layer, letting some dry and some blend. It always goes through an ugly phase before the final layers are added. #watercolor

Anyone found a good cross-posting option for Bluesky + Instagram. I know, I know, it's meta but it's for my art account and you still have to be on IG for that. Buffer works ok for my meetup but totally fails on my art IG account even though it's a pro/biz one.

I don't normally share process videos, but I love the way the light is hitting these tomatoes at the farmer's market. It makes me think of summer so much with the hot sun beating down and the juicy flavors of a fresh tomato. 🍅🌞 #watercolor #art

I love tomatoes. When I was a toddler, my mom had to beg my Greek grandparents to stop giving them to me because I ate so many I had a rash around my mouth. This little study both reminds me of that but also it's a proud gardener moment. Watercolor on paper 9 x 6.75 in Available #watercolor

LLM's are helpful because they're trained on years of high quality educational material and forums where people helped each other. People aren't visiting forums or paying for educational content anymore because of LLM's. The well isn't going to magically fill itself in perpetuity.
