Painting and living at the end of the road.

Final version of the self-portrait from a mirror in the garden. This went late into the fall. The jacket helped with the cold mornings but, also I think it works better in the composition. I like that this took several unexpected turns as it developed. #pleinair #painting #art #portrait #landscape

A cropped detail of a work in progress. Painted from life under the apple tree. Contemplating the title- “Rotten Apples” #painting #selfportrait #oilpainting #pleinair

Started another garden painting. Feel like it’s a good start. Not too many summer days left here in beautiful Alaska. Paint it while I can. But, also…really hoping Trump doesn’t sell us back to Putin tomorrow… (jesusf’ingchrist)

Super excited about this plein air I just finished. Been working on this all summer. Added in my wife and daughter while they were working/playing. M moved from the grass to the kale bed part way- I couldn’t decide which to paint out so I left both. 🤣 #art #pleinair #painting #landscapepainting

Here’s my mural at Anchorage’s new transfer station. The theme was upcycling.
“Resilience” (The discarded, one day, shall be loved again.) 84ft x 27ft
I’m hoping people read into that interpretation. #mural #publicart #painting #anchorage #alaska #art

As is my wont each #SaturdayMorning, here's "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. It has always struck me as an encapsulation of everything that one might wish for in a view when sitting down to breakfast at the start of a lazy week-end. #BrynhildParker #EastLondonGroup

Talk about delayed gratification. I’ve been waiting for a sunny day day in Clam Gulch so I can drive up and finish this painting of my friend Ron on his property. A lot of the finishing touches will be shadow work so I need a sun blazing kind of day. I’m patient. #painting #portrait #art

Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.
