Nice, atmospheric!

Studio is finally quiet tonight.
​26 "Hybrid Originals" are resting on the rack, curing up before they hit St. Johns and Kenton shops on March 1st. Every piece got a "Second Pass" of oils —a little piece of my soul on every canvas.

Pov you start your next piece before you finished your last:

#oilpainting #stonehenge #magalithic #stonecircle #painting

Progress on the "portrait of portland" fence/ mural piece. Fence built, bg painted, wood filler used to even out skin of subject for texture variations. ##oilpainting #painting #pdx #portlandart #art #conceptart #portland #mural

Hard at work to get my new print section of my art business up and running.

Those seven (or is it 8) sisters! Love this!

As it stands, the only folx who have the privilege ;p are dear friends and family, so so lets make that happen!

Here's to investing in one's self when the timing couldnt seem worse. Who's buying art when essentials are so pricey? Life is a gamble anyway. Invest in yourself, you're the only you, ya got, said my Ranch Dad often. #painting #oilpainting #artist #investing

So I do a self portrait ever year or so, this is from 24. Loaded with personal symbolism, but hard to tell how it reads to an audience. Does this make me look like an ass or a social justice warrior, or a DnD wannabe? Be honest, I can take it. #painting #armour #armor #selfportrait #goddess #knight

Boop! #thankyou

Each Easter and Xmas, I paint my kiddo's grandma a bunny pic. This is this years result I am calling "The creation of Boop" 8x10 oil on canvas

This lil off-paint is called "March of the Fishwives". An homage to all the Selkies and Sirens that came into my life and then returned to the sea. 9x12 oil canvasboarf #oilpainting #nudeart #figurativeart #ocean #selkies #fishwives #fishwife #sirens

Ive got this painting happening. Its out of my control, totally foreign to any style Im familiar with. Mostly acrylics, totally impromptu...i just have to keep hacking away until i figure out what the hell this is. #painting #acrylicpainting #impressionism

Portrait of Portland, WIP. Will be 7'x6'x18" repurposed wood from Pdx area, of thse great folx. cedar fence planks as metaphor and local material. Then oil, acrylic paints mixed with the rainfall. #oilpainting #art #wip

This lil birdy fell out of my brush. Turns out it is the bird and plant favorite of a dear friend's late mother. Did I channel a departed spirit into paint? I certainly didnt intend to paint these.

Sometimes I sit at a blank canvas and let the painting inform itself, let it unlfold of its own accord. So this one happened. Upon looking at it, I realzed it's a bit of an anxiety piece. Oil on canvas 36×24 ##oilpainting #painting #nocturne #meteorite

How much lifestyle am I wiling to sacrifice to accomplish my dreams? How much are you for yours? #artist #motivational

You've thrown a net over it all to catch it, but then you lost the freedom you had; you captured yourself in the net. #time #longitude #calculus #philosophy

The painting in your mind, the painting you create, and the painting the audience sees: are theee different pieces. I present this sketch paint of Sparks Lake Oregon and Mt B. Not what I set out to paint, but i love it. ##oilpainting #oilpaint #painting #sparkslake #volcanic #landscape

On the rack today: "Ancestor Spirits" not sure what I am trying to convey with this, a painting that happened of itself. Hope you enjoy ots strangeness #oilpainting #painting #menhir #megalithic #standingstones #ancients

"Dog with Pearl Earring After Vermeer" is the laborious title of this fun piece, now in placement in clients house awaiting a frame. Client happy, artists happy, dog happy (but perennially looking sad) #oilpainting #painting #dogart #dog #dogportrait #vermeer

Lil test paint I did from a visualization exersize inspired idea. Who she is and who the cat is, I have no idea. "Memory, cadmium." 5x7 oil canvas board #oilpainting #cat #catpainting #testpainting

I LOVE your work!! Your color choices and texture are just beautiful!

I am seeking the moments of peace and joy.

Havent done a self portrait in a while, but after a small break from painting, thought it would be a good project to warm back up with.
