A community project. "The Honeycomb Project" 300 or so artists combing our works. Will be on the road for about 3 years. My portion is called "The futile flock" Partly because no matter how many Doves I paint children keep getting killed, maimed, or orphaned by Predator Drones.

A couple of Foxes caught stealing wild flowers. #EggTempera #Wildlife #art #handmade #frames

I finished writing the love table. During the creation it transformed itself into the life table. My wife and I will face our ends sitting across from each other. That is a sacred bond, a sacred relationship. I hope someday kids will grow up playing under the table!

Legs. You missed the long dissertation I wrote on the value of physical art in our homes. Like so much of my work it fails in a digital reality. Too many words. Too bad, it was brilliant and now just a digital shadow. #homemade #animist #Luddite

This is the Cotton Tail on the other side of the log with the Fox. She's hiding! #Nature #Rabbit #art

Fox and Columbine. These figures are on a table I built for my wife. My house has curved walls, unfit to hang pictures on, so I'm painting on furniture. Raw wood is a harsh primitive surface. I'm adapting. #Fox #painting #logfurniture #rustic

I just want an on/off switch for my new laptop. Is that unreasonable? Or at least let it be consistent. Upper right button turns my prehistoric laptop on! What now? Shake three times and hum Shakiras phone number? How can they hate us boomers this much? Remember we started Batman.

To see eternity, every single day. #EggTempra, #goldleaf. #Handcrafted #rustic

My wood turning. Poplar, carved, oil paints. I'm really struggling with Facebook and Instagram. Social media in general. It seems that any sense of community is missing. #woodlathe #art #vase

I got questions for acrylic painters. My paint in the tubes has separated. Any suggestions as to how to mix? Just squishing isn't cutting it. Thanks!
