Did you get tired of the “ideogram” series? Well, here’s something different. Acrylic, paper and pen on reused canvas. #reusedcanvas #lyricalabstraction #contemporarymixedmedia

One more for the series of assembled forms, or imaginary ideograms. #assemblage #abstractmixedmedia #cardboardart #contemporarymixedmedia

This. Another gesture (you know which one) towards Bezos.

Another two pieces in this series. Are these #ideograms? Are they stand-alone pieces or meant to be grouped together? #lyricalabstraction #reusedcardboard #abstractmixedmedia

I don’t have much of an audience here, but I’m going to put this thought out there anyway. At each protest there are many clever, sometimes cleverly nasty signs. But I’d suggest this criterion for a sign: will it say to someone far from NYC or San Francisco, someone who isn’t a

Here’s the third in the grouping (the multicolored one has been dropped at least for now). #lyricalabstraction #smallworks #cardboardart #abstractmixedmedia

This new one is okay by itself, but for now too big for the line up. You may notice one color got replaced #cardboardart #lyricalabstraction #ideograms ?

And here’s the next in the series. Also reused cardboard, acrylic and pencil. #smallworks #cardboardart #abstractmixedmedia

Here’s a piece that will be one of a kind. It came about through the utter failure of my original thought, and through my poor skills at correcting what I have done. Papers, acrylic and pencil on reused canvas 36 x 36 inches. #lyricalabstraction #abstractcollage #contemporaryabstraction

When I joined BlueSky I left instagram, my only social media. My hope was to find an art haven, as IG had been. Then I got sucked into reading & reposting political stuff, to little effect. So I have dropped some follows and will revert to offering & viewing art. Here, phase 1 of these!

This is what has happened with this one. But who knows, in a few days it could be white! #reusedcardboard #abstractmixedmedia #colorfulart #smallworks

A new series in cardboard. Unlike earlier series, where each had a specific palette, this one is not proclaiming itself. One shown here will apparently be multicolored (stay tuned), the other wants one color but hasn’t made its needs clear. #reusedcardboard #abstractmixedmedia #smallworks

This piece (enormous for me at 4 x 4 feet) is going to a home on Fire Island, NY. If I can figure out how to get it there! #abstractcollage #abstractart #lyricalabstraction

A few weeks ago this piece was all titanium buff with just the collaged raised piece on the left and a couple of lines. You should know that lines are kind of a thumbprint in my work, I rarely can get to the end without one or two. This piece is poised now while I figure out about the lines.

Three billionaires: America’s oligarchy is now fully exposed. And what can we do? Re Meta: get off all its platforms, including IG, Facebook and WhatsApp. Re Bezos: cancel your WaPo subscription, don’t pay for Amazon movies, and buy as little as absolutely possible from Amazon and Whole Foods.
