Wes is carefully measuring and drawing lines; I too am tearing my hair out (but we both have a nice view) #paintinginprogress #diy #offgrid

I charge more for straight lines in commissioned paintings because of all the brain cells I lose while holding my breath 😂 fr tho - I can’t breathe when painting lines, and why am I suddenly lying down #ontheeasel #artist #sunset #artistsofbluesky

This morning I was reflecting on how anxious I can get when it's time to hitch up and move. So I sat down to write about that, and other lesser-advertised parts of so-called "van life". alliharveyart.com/blog/ Enjoy!! #airstream #fulltimerv #vanlife #artist

Read the full letter. ‘I am a political prisoner’: Mahmoud Khalil says he’s being targeted for political beliefs www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Then call your representatives in Congress. Need a script? It helps: 5calls.org/issue/mahmou... It just guts me, as a human, a Jew, & an American.

Yesterday: painting-in-progress & shed-in-progress. On the easel, to on the ground. At some point in my life I realized I was bored doing mostly one thing. Here we are. #offgrid #artist #arizona

Such an absurd thing with #running: I’m look forward to the long run ALL week. Then the day dawns, and the first mile, and I’m dreading all the work even as I push forward; doing the mind game of every mile in after that, and it’s sweaty, sore; HARD. And amazing. My brain explodes. Repeat 😂

A great reminder that we should not be relying on the good will of the monied elite. A great reminder that we should tax them more instead.

First paint sesh of this commission! She tall (3 feet). I started with gesso to smooth the canvas so paint will layer on more easily, and then I mixed paint hues in tubs so they won’t dry out. For me the only goal of setting brush to canvas the first time is to block out basic shapes/color.

(1 of 2) When I was at Escalante Canyons Arts Festival last year, a fellow acrylic painter whose work I loved asked me what types of acrylics I used. I said, “Oh, whatever’s cheapest at Michael’s.” She looked AGHAST. Later, once she recovered, she rec’d I try better quality paints.

Early, early phases of training for my first ultra continued. Realizing that the mix of running and hiking demand more real food. I was happy but hungry at the end, didn’t want to drink calories. An awesome day. If you’re ever in Kingman, AZ absolutely check out this loop! #training #trailrunning

New #painting! Progress pics + reference photo for fun. This was one of the submitted pics for my January contest, and the gal who submitted decided to buy the completed painting! 10% of all proceeds from this and other contest related sales go to orgs aligned with my values: awe, dignity, doing.

We hauled a cobbled-together #watercolor kit into the backcountry, including torn out pieces of watercolor paper, little plastic cups for water, tubes of paint, and brushes. It’s been fun and freeing for me to play around with a new medium, and bonus that Wes is learning/enjoying it too.

Cottonwood-Marble route in #DeathValley National Park: 26 miles, 4K elevation gain, no established trail. We saw coyote melons, owls hunting at dusk, and many layers of ancient rocks. Water was great this time of year. We emerged, turned on the news, and did yelling. ‘Til next time… #backpacking

Back from three nights living out of a backpack in Death Valley National Park. I took a bunch of pics of our food. Some of the scenery too - I’ll share those later, maybe #takemeback #backpacking

Painting in progress! I chose this one because I’m excited to paint water. It’s soothing and meditative. It also going to nicely round out my heavily-Western U.S.-based suite of photos; a tie to the Atlantic where I grew up. Bonus: ‘lil gull in the foreground will come into focus. Stay tuned.

Love to see the doubling down on creative strategies that don’t rely on the Federal government, like these “#climate superfund” lawsuits against polluters at the state by state level.

What I love about a good tune in another language is I can take the heartfelt emotion and have it soundtrack my own life. Today I listened to this great Swedish song about driving to Kingman to take a shower, do laundry, and discard of garbage.

Finished! This is the first #painting based on a winning photo reference to inspire awe and meaning, especially when/where we most need it to ground ourselves. It features sand dunes in #DeathValley during sunrise on day one in ‘23. I’ll post it to my site tomorrow! #art #artist #artwork

But seriously: a podcast I respect - Vibe Check - encourages us to respond to “signals vs noise” to conserve and spend energy wisely. Noise is renaming, Nazi salute, banning words etc. Signals are ICE raids, freezing funds, gutting CDC, the list goes on. It’s all a terror, by design. But: focus!
