Orbs #2 ~ in this painting; I worked on it daily for over 2 weeks. I started painting curving lines that branched out like tree branches in several colors coming in from all sides. I then added orbs & worked on the color blending & adding more waves. #art #artist #painting

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Bonfire -We each have an inner fire that we can call upon for standing up for what we feel is right. The fire element represents action, power, passion, & creativity. In medieval times salamander nature spirits were thought to provide the spark for starting the fire. #art #artis #painting

Tuxie w/ Sunflowers ~ Tuxie's face is challenging to paint because of the asymmetric patterns on his symmetric face. I worked at getting his face to work for quite a while. Tuxie & his brother, Truffle keep me company as I paint.
Happy Caturday!
