Finished Knife to Flowers series: #12 Time passing, 11x14”, oil on wood panel

I have so much fun painting this series, it’s such a nice break to be completely loose and free with a palette knife.

I did a 30 minute painting fundraiser for our local art house in Covington, LA. I was the only one that started with a blank canvas and finished with this. I didn’t win but it was fun and I’m looking forward to the auction! 16x20” oil on cotton canvas. #13 in Knife to Flowers series.

Sometimes I have to switch up and make happier paintings. Much as I love painting the No Horizon series, it can be lonely.

Here a nearly finished addition in the Knife to Flowers series: #12 Time passing, 11x14”, oil on wood panel

Oil paining in heavy impasto textures of a lavender colored flower in a red vase. The vase is set on a dark patchwork surface of deep purples and dark reddish colors and a background of bright greens and blues. The flower dropped two petals on the surface near its shadow.

It’s a small space, but it’s my space to paint. Working on another piece for my #NoHorizon series taken on the Gulf of Mexico a few years ago on my way to Art in the Pass, Pass Christian MS.

Photo of a small artist oil painting area with an easel on the left and a plywood cart with a glass pallet on top. The easel has a painting of a cat grooming on the bottom and a painting of the Mississippi gulf coast above from the shoreline on a foggy day. There are a lot of stickers adorning the easel.

Oh boy, you’re in for some surprises, I can’t imagine explaining the gap.

I think you are in very good company. This is everything in a game I’ve wanted. And it somehow just gets better every time.

I dunno, Hello Games nailed it, after tumult in the beginning, and since honing their skills, earning respect, I don’t think we’ll see the same out of Bethesda. The Corvette update brought the only good thing SF offered into NMS.

I thought SF was going to close the gap, not invert it.

For the first time in my life, dozens of cats over the years, I just witnessed my Kitkit wake up hissing from a bad dream. I’ve never seen a cat do that before. He looked shocked to see me until I calmed him. Must have been nightmare.

Trump worked to alienate our allies,while they warned us. Even while they equally 🇷🇺 off.

The countries he befriended worked with him to divide us socially and dismantle our democracy.

It’s not red vs blue. Understand this, internalize that we, Americans, are what they fear when we are united.

It’s time the world catchup.
The puppet is made redundant.
The country will flounder in epic scandal igniting within, distracting all from the next moves, a Russian false flag op sparking a NATO war. Annexation of Gaza, annexation of Taiwan. Nearly every continent is about to see war

Russias oligarchy was built on blackmail and threats using hotels, and dubious services with cams and mics (museum in 🇪🇪 ) Eppy worked with 🇮🇱 intel and a newer hotel chain to lure politicians and CEOs. Gain power, buy up media funded through exploitation of US Markets (CNBC Putin’s Trader),

So with the news that Epstein’s MaL membership was paid up and he’d attended long after his indictments, and Russia dropping centerfolds of the Mrs, the timing of Putin’s confidence in over Ukr and nuke threats, listen…Now I’ve thought Trump a puppet for a long time but follow me here…

I’m starting to worry that big moves are coming. Texas is going outside of the law to baselessly threaten arrests of democratic lawmakers for standing up to blatant racial and political gerrymandering. I don’t think they’ll lose a minute of sleep callously throwing out the rule of law. They want war

Work in progress, another in my No Horizon series, #10 The edge of the end, 18”-24” oil on linen canvas.

Working in layers and glazes, with ample contemplation in the drying time.

This made my day when I saw it, for those who haven’t, perhaps in light of all the news this will help you as well:

I’ve been in a bad mood lately, and I suspect it has a lot to do with going back to work and wasting 8hrs a day staring at a computer screen. It really sucks the joy out of life.

Louisiana governor passed law giving aid to people that drive into protestors. Nextdoor App is horrifying. So many of my neighbors salivating to test the new law. A surprising number of women, who wouldn’t even have a voice, checking account, or credit card without such protests. What hell is this?

I will be in a bad mood until further notice.

Hegseth sure was overly emotional with his outburst about how we need state media, like imagine what they’d say if a woman acted that way in front of the press at the Pentagon. What a rube.

“Murder scene?”, oil on linen, 30”x 20”, another in my knife to Flowers series. A whodunnit of horticultural horror, or not. You be the judge.

I have one more step to finish it but it must dry first. I’m just happy with the painting and wanted to share.

#oilpainting #art #painting #artdaviller

Oil painting on linen canvas measuring 20” x 30”. The background has the light pastel colors of a beautiful morning, sunrise, creating an impressionistic sky framing the flowers in vases. One purple, one green-yellow, one orang-red, and one blue, each with one or two expressive flowers. The painting is finished with black oil, pastel line work, outlining the vibrant colors of the foreground and background.
