Tomorrow I will be at Tahoe Elementary in Sacramento at their second annual Makers Market from 10AM-3PM.

And it's indoors. Thought I'd mention that in case you haven't been enjoying the foggy, cold days.

It's too late for #BlueSkyArtShow this weekend, but I thought I would post this #Sky picture anyway.
I called it California Hills in Winter.

This is my Firebubbles painting for #BlueSkyArtShow #Warmth
This was more of an experiment with materials than anything else.

The era we are living in offers too many illustrations of greed, narcissism, and hatefulness. But I still believe we can recommit ourselves to serving the common good of all Americans. [Artwork by Jennifer Bloomer]

I think this painting at China Bar in the Auburn State Recreation Area captures the #Bright light of that summer morning. Why was I choosing to paint while squinting into the sunlight when it was already over 90 degrees Fahrenheit at 9AM? The world may never know. #BlueSkyArtShow

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

For #BlueSkyArtShow this week, I am sharing a quick painting from quite a while ago that was inspired by grasses growing near a pile of fallen leaves in the sun.
This week's theme is #Autumn.

I was trying to figure out what art I have that would showcase the theme for today, #inside

And then I realized, this skull used to be inside of a wildcat.

This was done in carbon dust, a typical medium for medical illustration.

Today's theme is #vertical which makes me realize I focus on horizontal quite a bit.
Anyway, these sunflowers have strong vertical stalks.

The Oatmeal made a great comic about AI:

It doesn't cover the massive environmental costs, but it's a pretty good statement on the necessity of human creativity.
