Full time artist living by the sea. I live to paint, mostly the sea and still life but whatever else speaks to me of beauty, of light, of timelessness.

This might be the last snow painting I post this year. I painted this in my driveway, on a snowy day in late February.

I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify.
The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips.
Good job, friends.

This amazing image combines Webb (at top left) & Hubble's (on bottom right) face-on views of barred spiral galaxy NGC 1512.
Webb’s observations put together near- and mid-infrared light & Hubble’s ones display visible & ultraviolet light.

Weather or Climate: What's the difference?
They're not the same but closely related.The difference between weather & climate is simply a matter of time. #Weather refers to short-term conditions of the atmosphere, while #climate describes the average weather conditions over a long time period.🧪🎢1/3
