Still painting! I think I'm almost finished with my girl, just a little more work here and there. As long as I don't mess her up lol!

I finally started landscaping my little town! At first I was going to have different trees in different seasons but I liked them so much I put them all out, sort of everything's everywhere all at once!

I found this so moving, and the art -- incredible. You might like it too.

Telling the story of remarkable individuals—Dan Miller, Judith Scott, William Scott, and Monica Valentine—and a uniquely productive artist community, this segment explores the idea that artmaking is a fundamental human practice and should be accessible to all.

In progress! My latest picture is about halfway done I think. This is Richmond Tx, downtown on Calhoun between 3rd and 4th. It was a very overcast and murky day, just waiting around for the train to pass by.

I forgot that I finished this little painting, also of Carrollton, Georgia from a photo I took last summer! Trees - I love them but can't really see them lol

I took this picture yesterday, would it make a good landscape painting? I hope so because I'm going to try it

One more little building, the birds have a general store! I don't pay too much attention to scale on these, but it's about half-inch, or 1:24. If you could peek inside, you'd see two old crows sitting by a pot-bellied stove eating crackers and playing checkers. What next? Church? School? Cafe? Another house?

Look I made some winter trees for my crow village! I'm putting off making buildings because they're HARD! But they really do need a store to go along with the house and the apartment building 🧵🪡

Well I think I'm finished, what do you think? It's a big change from my usual but so useful to think about the big outside world and how to try painting it. I'm learning!

Taking a little break from to work on a little street scene. Asphalt and concrete are more complicated than they first seem! Haven't even started on those trees!

Not sure how successful overall this piece was, but I do like this moody corner. "Self Portrait As Yellow Chair," mixed media shadow box with led light.
