Two small paintings from today.

Bullshit American Dream Rust over sheet music to West Side Story’s “America”. #Art

Did another painting with rust. But it’s the rusty numbers that tell you what this is about.

I’ve been experimenting and exploring rust for the past few months.

So I took one of my earliest paintings (left) that I was proud of and repainted it (right). I think this shows how far I’ve come in a year and it’s encouraging me to continue. Let me know what you think. #ArtThreads

I did this little piece the other day. I really like the rusty bits. #ArtThreads

Another quick snap of a piece I’ve finished. I think this weekend I’m going to go a bit bigger than this 10x10.

Strange People This actually looks better up close because you can see the hints of images and text beneath the layers of grunge and distress. 16x20 gallery wrapped canvas

I’ve not posted in a bit, but I’ve been busy trying out new things. #art #grunge #distressedart

Sometimes I paint on watercolor paper. I’m finally honing in on the way I want to paint, at least smaller scale. Large scale is altogether different. Anyway. Fuck the Comstock Laws and I’m afraid we’re going to be seeing more about them in the future. #abstractart #distressedart #politicalart

Trying to learn a little abstract landscape painting. Sunrise on the beach. #abstractart #minimalist #abstractlandscape

Sometimes my art is practical. I made some ornaments a few years ago and while decorating the tree this year I was struck by how pretty it is. I should make more of these. #art #ornaments #abstract

Sometimes my art turns out exactly how I wanted. #art #typography #urbandecay

Worked on this today. It's a 9x12 piece of watercolor paper. I typically used this medium to try out ideas before putting them on canvas. I'm really not sure about the rust stain in the image on the right. Maybe I should leave it off? Opinions please.

The triptych I did this weekend. #art #grungeart

Sometimes my art surprises me. Not sure where this lil guy came from. But I like him. And he's showing up in several pieces. This is one of a triptych I did this weekend. #art #grunge #robotart

Sometimes my art is emotional. #art #grunge #magathanksgiving

Sometimes my art is literally just the trash paper covering my table. *Sigh*

Now that I'm home safe from the Thanksgiving travel I'd like to toss one thing into void. GET OUT OF THE FUCKING LEFT LANE. Thanks

Sometimes I do cyanotype art. Eventually going to figure out a way to merge all the art that I enjoy. Today's not that day. #art #cyanotype

Sometimes my art is surreal. #art #collage #surreal

This has been my favorite Cyanide and Happiness cartoon for a long time. It makese think of my friend Carol, who asked me once, why I drop so many F bombs. I said"I don't know what you're talking about. What the fuck is an F bomb". She laughed for days.

I looked at the first painting for a few days and thought it wasn't quite right. So I changed it a bit. Sometimes my art needs something more. Acrylic on canvas #art. #acrylicpaint

Sometimes my art is dark. Or disturbing as a friend called it. Asked if I was okay. Nov 6 Acrylic on canvas board @bsky.art #acrylic #abstract

Sometimes I add collage to a painting. #collage #art

It's still not right. But better than the other attempt. I think I know what it needs now and I'll be commiting it to an actual canvas today. Maybe I'm crazy posting my "trial n error" bits on social media, but I'm seriously trying to become good at this new (to me) art form. Honest opinions please

a is for. This is a practice piece and I'm pretty sure the colors will change on the final painting. But for now I'm happish with the results. #art #distressedart #typography

Sometimes my art is questionable

Sometimes my art is subtly not subtle. #collage #art @bsky.art

Sometimes I make collages because I've run out of space on my desk from all the paper bits I collect. #collage #art #cats @bsky.art

this is beyond amazing news

Sometimes my collages are tongue in cheek. #art #collage #fish @bsky.art One Fish Two Fish Mixed media mounted on watercolor paper.

Waiting for paint to dry so I started messing with some collage. #art #collage @bsky.art
