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.

Acrylic painting over top of old black and white photograph in "Nederlands Filmdagen 1988/Dutch Filmdays 1988" which I acquired from a free/exchange shelf in Amsterdam in 2025. The photo is by filmmaker Johan van der Keuken and is of jazz musician Big Ben Webster. In the photo, he is playing a saxophone with a vague outline of buildings in the background. My guess based on finding a short film made by van der Keuken in 1967 about Big Ben (according to IMDb ) is that the image is from that same year. About my paint addition below: Intuitive, abstract, quick painting with a basic outline around the photograph in blue-green and beigey yellows in free-form lines and an additional similar curving shape around the saxophone in a brownish gold. There is a golden yellow shape coming from his head and a light green shape coming from his heart or chest area.

I did a little painting over and around this gentleman in the Netherlands film fest guide from the free old book shelf.

Acrylic, probably about 4x5 in.

Full credits in alt.

We had a female maggot yelling at us from their car as we stood holding up our signs that listed the various things the current federal admin is trying to do. Anger and hate in her eyes.

Large robotic looking face in shades of copper and greens.

Surprised at humanity's inhumanity.

The mist and rain are releasing the earth bound spirits awakening from their seasonal rest.
Go stick your nose in some dirt.

Migration time.
If you can, get out into the woods or prairie now. Birds are moving, ice is melting, the earth is releasing its scent.

Spring will happen. Democracy will survive, bruised, shaken, and very nervous.
Go to a gathering of like-minded people, it helps.
