The country may be nuts, but we still love. Hold on to what makes you happy so it may sustain you. Happy Father's Day, Blueskyers. #monochrome #drawing #art #ArtYear #family #pencil

My favorite sign of the day. Harrisburg, Pa showed up in force! It lifted my heart. ❤️

Carl's look of outrageous astonishment when he sees the front door is closed and he can no longer watch the squirrels. This is also my face when I scroll the news. #oilpainting #art #cats #ArtYear

If anybody needs me, I'm here, inside this painting. It's wonderful.

Blue Monday. Again. I pooped on my leg and nobody grilled hot dogs. This is outrageous. #oilpainting #art #dogs #ArtYear #painting

Good morning, Blueskyers! Hope you've had a little breakfast to help sustain you through this day. Every day is a crazy day here in America. #art #birds #nuthatch #coloredpencil #ArtYear #drawing

The world is crazy, but today the sun is shining and there are dogs. I take what happiness I can get. And as always, if you can't rescue a dog, please donate some time or money to improve their lives. #art #oilpainting #dogs #rescuedogs #ArtYear

It's raining. Again. Criminals still run the country. I'm still fat and suspect I need a root canal. My jaw is throbbing. So I'll draw. #art #drawing #pencil #BlueSkyArt #musician #ArtYear #monochrome

Walking along the streets of Harrisburg today, when I saw this. Life can have some pretty delightful surprises.

It's been a cool, rainy spring here in Pennsylvania. Today is so dark and dreary and a good day for sleeping, which brought this painting to mind. I may just go back to bed now. #art #ArtYear #oilpainting #figurepainting #portraitpainting #sleep

The Nazis control this country and it's hard to not feel despondent and angry. So I painted flowers today. I have to keep trying. My heart isn't always in it, but it's how I let the world know I'm here. Otherwise, I'm just invisible.
