feels like i see your chiaroscuro technique becoming deeper and more visually arresting, and just wanted to say ‘nice work’ and how much i am enjoying watching your style(s) evolve

A window at an airport reflects Adirondack style chairs, an airport lounge, a self-service concession stand and a couple people walking by. Through the window one can see blue sky, carts, and planes at the gates.

Inside/Outside

I took this at the airport looking out a window but I can't really articulate what is going on. Lots of reflections.

my acrylic painting 🎨
20x16” canvas

Expressionistic landscape scene in progress, in which the foreground is cast in bright red-orange tones with dark shadows: an outdoor scene framed by massive bright red-orange treetrunks on the left and right, between which two bright red silhouetted figures appear to be running across the page from right to left: a humanoid carrying a long thin object in one hand and following close behind, a smaller creature approximately the size of a medium to large dog but appearing to have the wings and antennae of an insect. The background is largely unfinished, a flat green expanse in the lower distance, stretching away and framed on the left and right by surreal blue mountains that also shrink into the distance. The sky has not yet been painted.

#wip for #scape day

been using leftover paint to gradually make this #oils on paper #painting over the past week - maybe finishing soon

Self portrait, the head and neck of a person with long brown hair, full mustache and beard with rounded rectangular glasses. The person is facing the viewer looking toward them largely expressionless, wearing a floppy, green, pointed wizard-style hat. In the background is the suggestion of a mystical forest in pink, sky blue and indigo tones, with a dark trail stretching away into the distance behind the figure.

Portrait oriented canvas covered in rust colored wet oil paint, brushed thinly onto the canvas and then scraped with a palette knife into long undulating vertical upward strokes. Pallet knife strokes of various sizes overlap and interweave, creating the illusion of a tangle of red hair, the striations of muscle tissue, bark or roots, flowing fabric, or flames.

nonetheless best wishes you find that broader audience on ig or wherever it happens to be!

thanks! 😊

Expressionistic landscape appearing to show a shadowed blue-green path or stream stretching away between two rows of trees, with a nondescript mound or bank of earth in the foreground to the lower right. The sky is aflame with blazing tongues of red, yellow and orange licking upward and casting stark highlights on the edges of the suggested treetrunks and swirling green masses of foliage at their tops. It looks as though we are standing in a forest watching a fire rage in the near distance, too large to extingush and too widespread to escape.

spontaneous #oilpainting to start the day, been missing the #art time

a bit fixated on a theme this past year, can’t imagine why

On a square canvas, the color red dominates. A rolling red sky sits above a thin sliver of yellow sunset above what appears to be a restless red sea, faint hints of white and pink on its waves.

yes yes yes

yeah this “hurry up or get left behind” mentality driving ai adoption feels a lot like fomo-based high pressure sales tactics, always an effective way to get people acting against their own best interests—get them scared (and feeling worried about scarcity) first

Kaleidoscopic reflection in shades of magenta, blue, indigo and violet. Colorful patterns of blobs proliferate across a landscape oriented canvas, resembling the amorphous gradations of an MRI scan. On the left, two blobs against a mostly black field— shaped like eyes—appear to gaze toward the right at the busiest portion of the canvas full of difficult to resolve, mesmerizing kaleidoscopic shapes.

View of the New River from above in February. The mountainsides of the gorge are brown and leafless but light accents of snow and ice on the branches create some texture and a medium for catching some of the pink light of the setting sun. The sky and water are blue-grey but a thin strawberry lemonade strip of light hovers above the horizon line and provides a glowing backdrop for some low grey streaks of cloud.
