Black and white image of an old barn leaning to the left amidst a field of stubble.

A black and white image of cylindrical silos on top of a square concrete base with a small hopper leaning in front.

Black and white image of the inside of an abandoned store. A mattress is in the foreground with two old televisions at the end both with bullet holes through their screens.

Two longhorns standing by a singular tree in a corner of their pasture.

An old wood frame house leans precariously to the right. The foreground are prairie grasses and a field. The image was printed then crumpled and photographed again.

A black and white image of dead plants and spiky things on the grid of a large oak paper cutter. There is a bird’s nest in the lower right middle with one small egg inside.

Thank you! It was a fun but laborious endeavor. My work is always examining the relationship between painting and photography. I have wax all over the house 😝

We creatives are needed now more than the world realizes. We have the America Americans apparently want since 90 million of us didn’t bother to vote in the last election.

I don’t think many MAGA would change their minds. I think about all of those religious cults who gathered together for the apocalypse, or the return of Christ, and just doubled down on their beliefs instead of recognizing the scam for what it is.

The Invocation of Sorrow
#fineartphotography #organic #sorrow #blackandwhite #composition #textural

A warm black and white image that is very dark. Organic shapes cluster around the beating heart of sorrow with great spiny teeth at its opening.

It’s quite frightening, I wake up in the middle of the night with anxiety. The Democrats really need to get it together and become a unified voice that appeals to everyone, quit calling Republicans stupid and figure out a way to welcome the disaffected.

Hi Carol Anne! Yay! It’s so good to hear from you. ❤️

There is a stalk of crushed flowers obscured in part by fog-like grasses in a warm black and white to tickle your textural senses.
