Trio of kitty watercolors I painted as Christmas gifts for a relative. Each one is a kitty that’s gone over the rainbow bridge 🌈 . #petportraits #cats #watercolor

This duo of pet/kitty portraits was super fun to paint! It’s been wonderful how friends have stepped in to keep me working while the shutdown furlough drags on. #commissionsOpen #watercolor #PetPortrait

Furlough fall morning walk here in Central Arkansas. Lots of time to enjoy the outdoors while waiting to go back to work. #autumn #’MorningWalk #nature

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

The sky was ablaze and reflected in the Arkansas river on my nine mile #run this morning. I ran across the Big Dam Bridge to get a better shot. Totally with the early wake up time! #sunrise #arkansas

Three more of my marker art sketches made during this autumnal government shutdown. Goldfinch and cheeky wren, fuzzy squirrel, and a pair of fighting hummingbirds. #artwork #sketches #natureart

Three of my latest marker drawings using @copicofficial.bsky.social (my favorite!) and gel pens.

Shown are a White-blue tit warbler, a yellow fish I saw in the Denver aquarium, and pink weigela flowers.

Markers are my favorite go-to fun and relaxing medium. 💜 #drawing #markers #sketching

Brian Merchant’s new book, “Blood in the Machine,” argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers in the face of automation.

My latest commission is a quartet of birds; cardinals and house finches. I used watercolor, gouache and pen. This was a birthday gift for someone’s friend and they loved it 💜 #watercolor #painting #commissionsopen

Speaker Johnson should just take the L on this vote. Most of America doesn’t want this bill to pass anyways. It’s it both the worst and most unpopular piece of legislation in modern history.
