For full transparency, I finally updated my website after years of neglect last night (4/11). I am a completionist at heart so having this calendar idea blank when I’ve painted every day this year hurts me a little. So I’m posting all the past paintings and back dating them. I might not have newsy things to say each day and anything prior to yesterday - I didn’t even know I would be doing a blog post for it - so we’ll look at the cool calendar page and be happy…right? I hope so.

In wrapping up bird March, I find myself considering what theme would be next? Nothing really has come to mind although I have wanted to get back to painting faces. So today we get both.

Day 2 of Bird March: Watercolor with resist, white gel pen and micron black.

This is a Strathmore watercolor cold press. It is much nicer paper than last month's Stillman & Birn zeta series. I plan for on minimizing decision making by focusing on these little birds. Idea from a YouTube I watched from Diane Atone Studio

This is just today's painting called, "February is rough"

Today the warning chicken has a message. We need to recognize what is happening and resist.

Painting for Feb 3. I really love these deep sea fish. I did a paper Mache fish like this that I called “Freddy Fish Junior” bad puns make me laugh.

The title of this is my mood today. Esp every time I see news about some new access EM gets. He. Doesn't. Even. Go. Here. The title of this is "Everything is not fecking ok"

Revisited a photo I took in like 2019 from a cute coffee shop called Slate in the U District.

Sometimes it's commentary and sometimes it's just a hand. Contour on paper with watercolor. Honestly consider it a slap in the face for all the freaking BS this week. Also on a selfish note, let's celebrate my completing month 1 of 12 for my NYR
