As per my last post, reminder that I'm no pixel artist. However, here's my pixel art update to one of my pixel bots I created 19 years ago. I can't decide which updated version I like better, Option A or B. Thoughts from the #pixelart community? #staycreative #TryingOtherArtStyles

I'm not a pixel artist, but I really appreciate the art. I've tried my hand at it from time to time and I am by no means really good at it. However, that doesn't stop me from giving it a try again with a simple project to update an old pixel art robot I did many years ago. Wish me luck!

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

April's Flight - 24"x24" #OilOnCanvas - This fell into play rather quickly...it's been a long time since inspiration hit this hard to finish an oil painting in one sitting. © cogwurx #cogwurx #square #abstractart #abstract #monarch #butterfly

The Painted Lady - 24"x24" #OilOnCanvas - This was fun piece to work on and a challenge to work with a different color palette. © cogwurx #cogwurx #square #abstractart #abstract

The latest paintings that just finished today. Both are from reclaimed paintings that have been sitting in storage for a while. I should have better photos later this week. #abstract #butterfly #nature

Lunar Reflections - #OilOnCanvas - This one was challenging in many regards. I'm pleased with where this piece went, but I know I could have improved on it and pushed it further. © cogwurx visit cogwurx elsewhere: linktr.ee/cogwurx #abstractart #TraditionalArt #LunarMoth #moth #green

Azure Signals - 24"x24" #OilOnCanvas - Another reclaimed canvas & breathed new life into it. I'm wanting to get more loose with my work and not lay the paint down so thick. Hopefully, I achieved that with this piece. I really like the glow & the colors I got in this piece. Very pleased. ­ © cogwurx

Look -- 20"x20" #OilOnCanvas -- Another painting that took me forever to complete. This one was on my easel...mocking me. Definitely tried something different with this one. I tried to capture the mystery of a rare black barn owl. © cogwurx #barnowl #abstract

Silent Shore -- 20"x30" #OilOnCanvas This painting is on a reclaimed canvas. I believe this is now the third painting on this canvas. Hopefully, this latest image is more lively than the previous image. This took me a while as I am still struggling with a bit of a creative funk. © cogwurx

Rebranded and after much work, I've updated my portfolio site. There is still a few additions I would like to implement, but as whole I'm well pleased with the update: www.cogwurx.com

Been pretty distracted lately, so I've not be able to engage on here as much as I would like. I have had a bit of time to be working on a couple of paintings that I'd like to share...the owl piece is causing me some challenges. The owl piece is become more an experimental piece as I tinker with it.

I spent the last few weeks updating my POD stores and my Etsy store. I have a bit more to add to my Etsy shop, though all my available original oil paintings are up. You can find my work on Etsy, Zazzle, Saatchi, FineArt America, Threadless, and Teepublic. visit cogwurx elsewhere: linktr.ee/cogwurx

Working on rebranding, and updated my #logo recently. So naturally, I needed to get #stickers

Slowly emerging from a creative block onto the slippery slope of the dark path of finally redesigning my website with the possibility of updating my branding as well. No time frame yet, but playing around with a lot of ideas and itching to design something again.

Current #workinprogress on the easel. Another reclaimed canvas. Need to stop working on it before the colors and paints get muddy. Black barn owls are such a rare marvel and one of my favorite owls. #owl #blackbarnowl #oiloncanvas #barnowl

How to filter out AI Images in Google Image Search. Sharing this with my students so I figured I'd also share it with everyone here. Hopefully this image is still relevant given Google's changes. Save this on your computer or phone and refer to it as needed.

Red Grasshawk - 24"x24" #oiloncanvas - This was a fun piece to work on because of the challenging line work and movement. It was great to try a different color palette than I'm used to. ©cogwurx #art #abstract #dragonfly #red #square #bug #traditionalart
