“One Day” I’ve been inside so much — it’s a bit l “One Day”

I’ve been inside so much — it’s a bit like being underwater. I had no new nature photos to draw on tonight, so I’m doing what I can, snapping shots where I am, and setting myself up to have ability to make things for the rest of my life— studio or no.

Two

Markup on photo of stone.

What can I say? I want to lean a little, and coast through this part of my life. But I can’t. Life keeps coming with new things to learn, do, feel, and produce. My parents are aging, and more dependent than ever before. I’d like to think I can hold up okay, but here appears a vision like a movie house screen with a leaning guest who is hard to see.  #artist #artcollectors #moviescreen #quietviking

Veil | Side Sometimes the mystery is only another Veil | Side

Sometimes the mystery is only another side, not a veiled intrigue, which at least, has style.

No need to wonder what’s there, probably nothing, and that is the whole situation— projection. 

Lately, “the other” political side has felt mysterious, but it carries no allure— the division in two is merely pushing of signs by bad men playing with shadow for sake of profit and power.

Markup on photo of bark with holes, and an emblem of my being done with letting news of yucky, privileged, rich guy behaviors upsetting me. If this object were a balloon, I wouldn’t let it go to putrefy the sky. Perhaps I’d burst it and bury the deflated parts far beneath the surface dirt and trust the planet to decay it for ages. #lettinggo #toxicnews #privateislands #trumpepstein
