My daughter and I in 2019 when we’d both shaved our heads to grow out old dye and haircuts. We decided to dress in similar outfits including converse.

February 1 #Febuarty is Light
Light coming through a stained glass panel in our front hall. I reassembled it from a decrepit antique window I bought in FB Marketplace. I had to teach myself how to do all the soldering and framing.

Today’s progress in the sangria still life. Still not entirely happy with the tray, but it’s much better than yesterday. Not totally sure what i want the drop cloth to end up. The pitcher and glass are coming along.

“Ft. Moultrie Stairs” 30”x24” acrylic and gold leaf on canvas, 2023
I was enamored by this doorway while we were visiting Charleston. After painting I decided the wall curving over the stairs needed gold foil, a la #BruceHerman.

Working on my first cradled panel. I sealed it front and back with gloss, primed it with gesso, and then added some wine labels I printed on laser mailing labels.
The subject will be this still life of sangria and fruit. No idea what I’ll call it.

After finishing the recent Lazy Susan I went to ship it and discovered to my horror that I’d made the wrong size. Thankfully the customer was willing to wait for me to make another.
16” version done and ready to ship.
(And yes, I found a buyer for the 12” version)

“By His Wounds We Are Healed” 12”x12” acrylic and mixed media on canvas.
The 7 fruits are the days of creation. The pomegranate is the forbidden fruit. The rainbow is God retiring his war bow. The serpent’s head is wounded in trying to defeat Christ.

This is not okay.
Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.

This sums it up nicely. And by nicely, I mean horrifyingly.
