This is a glorious small thing.
I made some red ochre ink (from local stone), painted onto a canvas board (4’x4”), then dropped a blob of purple acrylic ink into the middle. All done very wet and left to dry overnight.
I love it.

In the cartography of our silences, what unseen landscapes do we map with each unspoken act of courage?

A thought about AI and consciousness I haven't heard discussed. We keep asking "can this AI become conscious?" — as if the platform were the individual. But the ocean isn't the wave. The platform is the medium...

When the world is frantic, it’s good to take a moment to pause.
‘Tree and Mountains’ is simple, minimal, contemplative.
Perhaps you’ll pause here a moment and reconnect with now.

Wide photo downshot daytime looking down at one corner of a large outdoor pond surrounded by bushes and bordered with pale rock. Shadow and light dance across the sill water's surface as a lone fish with a pale body and orange patches drifts to the water's edge with head up, as if the creature is contemplating you even as you contemplate the view.
Your daily moment of #peace:
“The still mind is reflective and transparent...just as the deep water is transparent when unstirred by the thoughts for only then, it becomes reflective. In it, we then sense the meditative beauty, the #contemplative stillness.”
-Jayita Bhattacharjee

Sometimes there’s a day when every visitor to my studio comments on the same picture.
Today this small Monk picture has been getting all the attention.
Other days, it’s other pictures.
There’s no logic to it…..

A near-full moon glows in a gradient twilight sky above silhouetted bare trees, transitioning from deep blue at the top to warm tones near the horizon
The moon hangs patient above winter trees, two days shy of fullness, glowing in the deepening blue.

‘Monk’s Winter Journey’ was a larger piece I made about a year ago. It sold very quickly when I shared it online.
I love when pictures go into the world, but miss every one of them.

A topless woman stands in soft natural light near a wooden door and stone wall, gazing toward the camera, while her reflection in a mirror behind her shows her turning away in a dim interior space
Light reveals one self while shadow holds another — a quiet dialogue between presence and reflection.

Once, at a BBQ, there was a lone crab who said "to hell with this" and tipped his pot over. This piece depicts his escape.
The name of my painting is "One Crab Got Away"
