Ah whoops looks like my mistake was existing on this timeline. Is art the product or the process? A stranger is a friend I haven't met.

Dear diary, I posted another painting today, I like the color palette but have mixed feelings on the finished work. What does it look like to you? -xaM

Letting go of the need to pursue figurative work leads to freedom of expression; the smaller canvas forces you to confront your intent. When you take the time to create, what do you want to share? The human experience, the cliche that it is, is still unique to the individual. How do you choose to express? What do you create? How do I take my abstract feelings and express them in a concrete medium? It isn't that I'm depicting a place, I'm depicting an emotion, feeling, sensation. How do I paint the sensation of the wind in your hair, early morning sun pouring through you? Or the feeling of sitting under a waterfall? The stillness you feel late at night reading a book? The taste of a ripe peach? The sensation of staples being removed from my head, or when I broke my arm, or chipped a tooth. The way your tongue stings after taking a bite of too hot pizza. Would it be a sin to paint the sensation of wet socks? How do I paint my frustration? How do I confront the injustices of societies with paint??? How do I paint the feeling of drowning? Of sinking and knowing what's happening, struggling with watching the world around you crumble? Knowing that everyone you know is in the same position, yet still coming together to try to help one another. How do I paint knowing how many people will be hungry? How do I paint suffering? How do I paint a ruined society? How do I depict a flood? How do I express the knowledge of finding hope in hopelessness? How can a painting change the world? How can a painting change a person? How can painting change me? What I express in paint is no longer bouncing around my head. It can exist somewhere for people to look at and go "it makes me feel some type of way" and probably we feel the same type of way. This painting was me expressing some type of way of feeling and I think it really did that so if you feel some type of way then you probably do too. I hope you understand that this was intentional and I'm grateful for the opportunity to feel some

I'm of two opinions. Do I love it or hate it?

These smaller canvases are a lot of fun and very relaxing to paint; the limitation of size removes the obligation of representationalism.

Started with a forgetful fish deck and kinda migrated into cube territory, there's something super satisfying about proxying power

It's not about what you do, it's about who you do it with!

I recently finished a commission that afforded me the ability to go to the mountains for an old friend's birthday, I started that piece three times and this is one of two I kept.

Today's wild thought:

What amount of ad conversion/traffic is a result of mis-clicks? Io, tiny X to close, faux scroll, meme disguising, etc.

How often do you click ads? Looks like highest conversion outside of fb is on google searches where the ad link is ranked higher than the standard link.

Excited to finally have this commission wrapped and delivered! Companion piece to one I'd sold this friend some 15 years ago, a sunrise to compliment the previous sunset, utilizing metallic gold to capture the sun's rays catching your eye

SUN RISE TO MEET THE DAY SO TOO DO MY BONES RAISE FROM MY GRAVE TO OUTLIVE ANOTHER DAY SUN LIGHT SUN BRIGHT SUN SHINE SUN SHITE did you know that light is a form of non ionizing radiation? If light is manna from heaven does that mean god's love is ionizing? Her fecundity lays below the bedrock of reality, her gifts clinging to the skyline climbing above the horizon. Unable to lay eye upon it lest we go blind, yet without it nothing can be seen, are we blind without knowing it?

"Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there – I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. People sometimes say that the way things happen in movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen in life that's unreal." - Andy Warhol
