A somewhat wedge shaped silver robot with clunky legs and skinny articulated arms has a large blue domed head with a much smaller blue dome sitting just to its right (our left). Each dome head as a red light atop it. The body of the robot has 4 red lights in a row level with the middle of the arms, another red light below the others. Below them, even with the end of the arms is what appears to be either a green grill or a slot that could fit a movie cassette. The background is green with typing somewhat visible. Upper right are the words Dear Editor. Lower right is the word LETTERS 583. Interpret this as you will.

from a series of robots based upon past images of robots.

Our current 'robots' do not reflect what we thought we were going to get. Faceless metal boxes connected to other faceless metal boxes doing someone's bidding.

Overall blue-ish background. Center has a green-ish tone with number silhouettes of birds and dancers leaping from the center. To the lower right is silver robot that seems to be observing the dreamscape before it.

Awkward Robot dream.
From an awkward series.

Thanks. Whoo knew?

Lily pads and lotus stemmed leaves dominate the foreground. Middle ground a bed of lily pads and lotus flowers. Bluffs along the main channel of the Mississipi River can be seen in the background. Bright green and blue are the dominate palette.

Hopefully this scence will be recreated this year. Lily pads and lotus flowers.

Pretty sure @duckduckgo.com search engine doesn't do that. I'm not getting paid for this plug, just a happy user spreading the duck-word.

Snowy. Bare trees in foreground with some broken trees middle ground, and short bushes in the background. Colors are grey, red-brown, and some black. It was a nice day for shoeing, temps showing, low 30s, no wind.

Went for a snowshoe today. Came back and painted this scence.

Snow day here. A good day to reflect on the gifts of aging, which we may not want and can not return but with patience we come to accept this wisdom.

I have a feeling the week after that will also have been stressful.

Landscape of yellows and browns with a tree with an eagle nest dominating the image. Painted in an expressionist style. No songs birds were hurt at this spot in real life.

Eagles' nest
There are a number of eagles' nests one can see, walk near, in the #trempealeaunationalwildliferefuge .
Winter provides clear viewing and less chance of upsetting the inhabitants.

@bengoldfarb.bsky.social got any advise to share?

There must be a lot of bad stuff in the Epstein Files if this 34 count felon draft dodger has illegally started a war while negotiations were under way to end their nuclear weapons program, which BTFW Pres. Obama had already negotiated some years ago.
This won't change the regime, just the top dog.

and again

Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.

A few large lotus leaves in light green in the foreground in blue water. Middle ground are smaller, more distant leaves w white flowers floating on the dark surface. In the far background a line of brown bluffs.

Sketch of Pool C with lotus and lily pads.

Abstract art. Seems to be a human figure turned away from the viewer looking towards a scene inside a scene.

Loose brush showing scrub trees and golden grasses in the foreground. Bluffs of the Driftless region in the background with a blue sky. The blackbirds, tiny specks, gather to the right of the image in trees and the grasses.

Gathering of blackbirds.
Informed by a photo from September, 2022.

Every year blackbirds gather for their migration to somewhere hopefully warmer.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.

No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.

Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?

No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.

Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.

Perhaps you could do a follow up article on: "Medications to regulate the heart or thin the blood to reduce stroke risk can have problematic side effects." as the long term effects are not clearly articulated in the medical literature.

This piece is in "Driftless" exhibit at the Winona County History Center til Feb 28, 10-4. TU-FRI. Pulled together by the River Arts Alliance.
Feels weird to be promoting my work now.
To make up for that, there is a march, SAT 1-3 in Winona, MN.

Must be nice. Not certain my insurance would cover “in an abundance of caution” .
