Iris @whoretense.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I finished this at the end of 2025, before our current madness in the Strait of Hormuz. At least she is sharing. To me its disturbing with just a touch of raucous hope. Much like the headlines we see these days #painter #painting #oilpainting #eastsideculturecrawl #culturecrawl #figurativeart 0111 0

Iris @whoretense.bsky.social · 02/10/2025After Brothers Hildebrandt (Lord of the Rings). An ancient tree can have much in keeping with what lies within each of us. We move through our concrete world, confident that our own life force guides us from within-- but perhaps it is from without. #art #painting #vancouverart #blueskyart #fineart 060 0
Iris @whoretense.bsky.social · 01/10/2025After Brothers Hildebrandt (Lord of the Rings). An ancient tree can have much in keeping with what lies within. Sometimes, what feels present can also watch over us. We move through our concrete world, confident that our own life force guides us from within-- but perhaps it is from without. 36x48 000 0

Iris @whoretense.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Wow, have I not been paying attention. I painted a portrait of John Hurt as a HP character (not knowing that's who it was but still). 100 0
Iris @whoretense.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Wow, I did it! After a year of attacking windmills and barking at trees and various failures to launch, I'm very happy to have a new website. A good looking site that is easy to update, has all of my new work, plus the best of the old. And artcars... 😀 TL;DR --> here: www.dennisjbrandt.comdennisjbrandt.comDennis J Brandt - Gallerieswizard research 000 0

Iris @whoretense.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Cannot believe what difference a little paint makes. Also I sanded the floor enough to kill my rented belt sander (oops). 000 0
