In March, we had a successful #artisttalk at the Academy of Fine Arts of #Bologna - a big thank you to Mattia Arioli for hosting me, and thank you to the Department of Languages, Literatures and Modern Cultures – LILEC of the University of Bologna that organized the talk!
#ArtLecture #VisualArt
This new series involves looking at carefully, executed watercolors, establishing a new pallet for acrylic on canvas. Many appreciations to Malaspina Printmakers for allowing me to test an exhibit in Vancouver last winter. Also appreciations to Rosa and Mike for helping me explore studio techniques.

That was so long ago when a Sharpie was my favored tool. I swapped out for a brush pen. The bristles provided much better spring and flow in the line.

@salgoodsam.bsky.social I didn’t rank my vote feeling that it might dilute the intent of my affection. It seems that we shared a political choice.
