My condolences to his family, and the families of all the people who have died in ICE custody. Very sad.

I'm thrilled that my #oilpainting #GlidingIntoAutumn was accepted into the #FederationofCanadianArtists #Transitions Exhibition! March 26 - April 2, 2026 at #TulistaPark in Sidney, BC.

The "mean" is really showing through the makeup these days.

#Magpie models for my next #oilpainting. I love magpies! And I miss them, living now in BC. These were in Alberta on a lovely, snowy day.

I'm on a bird kick. A swan, this roost of robins, and my next one will be magpies. Just in the planning stages and wondering about doing the 'pies painting in black and white only.

A little (8X9) #pastelonpastelmat plein air. Gotta work on those rock formations...they look like a cloud lying on the beach LOL

Today's plein air #pastelpainting done with #TheAlfrescoes. Gorgeous chilly day with a good turnout. I forgot to pack a medium gray, so I used purple, green, brown, and light blue in the clouds. Not having all of the colours sometimes leads to interesting results 😀

How ‘forest bathing’ keeps lungs healthy Wooded environments release organic compounds that seem to improve respiratory health, but the magnitude and mechanism of the effect remains unclear.
