@Krisss Right now I'm painting a cloud system with a bolt of lighting - it's mainly dark grey, light grey and white (with a fire mix for the lighting and "glow"), but as I was working on it last night, I thought - next time, I'm making nothing but shades of pink clouds.

@Krisss I struggle to achieve the natural looking gold sun color with my painting. Perhaps I can use this for inspiration to keep on trying. It's beautiful.

@Krisss I'm already in love with the landscapes. They have such a dreamy quality to them. I'm going to definitely spend some time studying these works. That's what I'm lacking - I'm not an artist, never did any study in color theory or anything. Just picked up a brush not too long ago and started painting at the suggestion of my therapist. So I'm on the internet all the time looking for answers to questions, ideas, techniques, etc. Sometimes I just need to stop and LOOK. You're a gem!!!

@Krisss You know I'm enthralled with this one, right? I can't stop staring at it.

@Krisss @susie I'm impressed by all art because I can't do any of it. But I do try! That said, I'm not going to stop painting until I get a landscape done with a REMARKABLE sun! Right now, my suns are blah. I can't even keep them in a good circle, much less do all the beautiful rays. I'm not an artist; I do this for PTSD therapy. But still, I am committed!!! (Or should be committed. I don't know.) 😜

@Krisss @susie I do enjoy it. I get frustrated sometimes because I don't know what I'm doing and I mess up, but I'm trying to learn to use the frustration as motivation to get better rather than quit. Sometimes I do things and I think an artist would vomit on it, but I like it so that's all that matters.I use the pictures you post as inspiration and learning. I've started doing my own online research of the artists I see mentioned. The point is to get me out of my own head and this works.

@wjmaggos @mysturji @GreenFire @SKleefeld You can't change the system without getting people in office who want to change it. It's not perfect, need lots of change, but look at our political landscape and ask yourself which Party is going to get me closer? They may not get me there, but they'll at least come more likely to building the road.

@wjmaggos @mysturji @GreenFire @SKleefeld My faith is elsewhere. My pragmatism is in the here and now. Believe me, I know it's not perfect. A revolution would be necessary and there's too much of our lives wrapped up in the system to expect people who are already insecure to put what little they do have on the line. Will a revolution happen at some point? Perhaps. But I don't see it happening in my lifetime.

@lowqualityfacts We are friends now. Do you also carry bottles of meds with you "just in case?"

Covid, day 3: I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I am so stuffy, I'm coughing and it's killing my back, and I'm hurting head to toe.I know it would be much worse if I hadn't gotten the Vax and boosters.So get vaxed if you're not, and get boosted if you are vaxxed. Cuz I shudder to think how much worse I'd feel without them.

Because Covid got me (twice), I wasn't able to do the decorating of the building landing like we usually do. So here's the version we did, centered around Oppenheimer, in a cemetery with his friends, Madame Curie and Albert Einstein who missed the "casual dress" notice and came out of the afterlife in their wedding clothes. Oppenheimer is reading the screenplay of the movie by the same name to them.#Halloween

Very messy pouring session but I had fun. And in the purple one, I think I either created a deranged bobcat or a Yeti. I'm going with deranged bobcat.#pouring #artist #painting
