Every hundred years

Spring in the rolling hills of South Moravia.

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

All the Republicans who were crying about the price of food are sure quiet now…. Are we great yet? Nope….

Anyone else feel like January has already been 5 months long?

Helpful!

When you live in New England, indoor plants really help to add some cheer in the Winter. Overwintering of this hibiscus is - so far - a success. :) #indoorgardening #urbanjungle #plants #gardening #zone6gardening

Donald Trump can’t change history, we know what we saw on this day four years ago. It was domestic terrorism and treason, plain and simple. No number of pardons or lies will change that.

5/31, January studio challenge: “Fuschia,” pastel on pastel board, 9x9. Making my way through more Ireland references. This stunning Fuschia was everywhere: along the roads and in gardens. #pastelpainting #ireland #flowerpainting #fuschia #fineart

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

Former President Jimmy Carter's work on energy efficiency and renewable energy were criticized, but it laid the groundwork for the country to address climate change now.

The hibiscus I brought in from the garden just bloomed, and I will take this as a sign that 2025 won’t be a *complete* dumpster fire. ;) #zone6gardening #gardening #urbanjungle

“Portmagee Shore”, pastel on pastel board, 10x15. Based on a photo I took in Ireland, from a boat on my way to a fun adventure on Skellig Michael. #pastelpainting #ireland #fineart #landscapepainting

The light… We seek for it, we make plans, we wait and we hope… But only in rare occasions we get to face truly unique light. When it happens we get fulfilled… #Happynewyear #bluesky friends 💛 Alpine Breath, captured in Chamonix #photography #landscape #mountains #light #art #nature

You know maybe we should just try 2024 again instead, I feel like that was not our best work

ME: idk I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread WAITER: no I meant are you okay as in like do you need more Diet Coke or anything

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

One resolution for me for 2025: make some sustainable choices. Already do the water bottle/straws, now I just have to remember to keep the grocery bags in the car trunk. #sustainableliving #sustainability #greenliving

Going into 2025, I’m going need footnotes and at least three primary sources to believe anything posted on the internet.

“Diana’s Baths,” pastel on paper, 12x18. Based on a photo I took at this lovely waterfall in the White Mountains of NH #pastelpainting #landscapepainting #newhampshire #art

Paperback books are like velveteen rabbits — there to be loved and squeezed and read and stuffed into shoulder bags and left in the sun and read again until there's nothing left but the best kind of memories

Art class should never stop being a thing. Like if right after lunch we all got to go down to the basement for an hour, throw on a smock, and make collages out of old magazines while somebody's eccentric, slightly witchy aunt tells us how great we're doing, I feel like we'd all be in a better place.

For years, Trump has promised to imminently release his infrastructure plan, health care plan, tax returns, & medical records. But he never seems to get around to it. But he did promise today to pardon J6 defendants on his first day in office. That he has time to do immediately.

Eagerly awaiting all of the future documentaries on the craftspeople who restored Notre Dame. I saw one (Netflix maybe?), but I want to know more about the person who carved all of the stone details. I want to watch the stained glass artist. They all seem to have worked with such passion. #notredame

I camped out at this spot for awhile waiting for the sun to get into just the right position to make a star against the sea stacks. Oregon Coastline. #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #oregon #pnw #canon
